I have found that when eating in restaurants, which I do on a weekly basis,
I tell our waitress to please be sure that there is absolutely no bread
crumbs, bread or any type of flour used on anything that I order because I
am "deathly allergic" to anything made out of flour.  For some reason, when
you tell them that you are deathly allergic to it, they really pay attention
and you do get a meal cooked the way you specifically asked for it.  Works
for me every time.  Telling them that you can't have anything with gluten
just doesn't work.....they just don't get it.
