<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Jut got baqck from one of my new favorite restaurants in Manhattan [O'Lunney's on W 46th]. When the buser brought out bread and I refused it [with explanation], my waitperson, who was standing by, asked "what is celiac"? When I explained it was an allergy to gluten, to wheat, in fact all grains except rice and corn [I take the conservative approach], her eyes lit up and she exclaimed "ah, gluien allergy,so that's what it is called". this restaurant is really a bit of Ireland, so they are familiar with celiac...they just used a different term. From now on when I eat out, I am going to say that I am allergic to gluten, wheat...you know, celiac" May have just been approaching it the wrong way.. Ann
