<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi, I am taking a trip to Portland, Oregon. Can anyone recommend restaurants in Portland? My son and I both have celiac disease. My son is also allergic to soy. I am allergic to peanuts, soy, shrimp, and egg whites and am mildly lactose intolerant. We will be staying with relatives who do not have celiac disease. I am nervous about eating their food. I don't want to offend them. But I also do not want either my son or myself to get sick. My son and I are on a gluten free diet. Does anyone have advice about how to broach the subject of celiac dietary restrictions with relatives? One of my relatives has Crohns disease, but he is not all that careful with his diet and does not understand how an exposure to gluten can make someone with celiac sick for a long time. I will post a summary of any advice I receive. Thanks for the help, Alicia * Visit the Celiac Web Page at www.enabling.org/ia/celiac/index.html *
