<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Still trying, obviously, to get a handle on all things GF. At this point, eating at home isn't a problem (though I sure will miss Amy's...) but it seems that every time I eat out I mess up somehow. It's getting so that I am terrified of eating at a restaurant that doesn't have a GF menu... Last night I ate at Cracker Barrel and had a salad with honey mustard dressing (I took the croutons off). Today I ate at a Mexican restaurant, had a salad plate with sour cream, beans and cheese, guacamole and salad, and feel like I took a hit. What did I do wrong? Also, I ate at a steak house the other day, had a baked potato and salad, and couldn't resist a bite of my mom's hamburger. It was a small bite and I cut off the outside (most of it) which had touched the grill. I felt like I took a hit that night as well. (It's been a long week as a result of my mistake!) Does anyone have any suggestions as to when and how I might have ingested gluten during these outings? More importantly, what strategies have you developed for eating out safely? What's safe and what's not?! Help! Sara Visit the Celiac Web Page at Http://www.enabling.org/ia/celiac/index.html Archives are at: Http://Listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?LIST=CELIAC
