<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> To All In response to eating out and this diet in general. I eat out very often and find it unpleasant at times, but most always I am able to eat a meal without limiting it to salad. I do not worry much (perhaps I should and this is where my confusion is) about contamination if I have grilled meats or French Fries. I just stay away from everything I know I can't have. I am not as sensitive as many Celiacs and I never had a reaction from restaurant food. I don't worry much about vanilla in custards and some natural flavorings. Is there anyone else out there who feels this way? I was diagnosed in October and just had my biopsy today. I am depending on my biopsy results to tell me if I am following it well. Any comments...??
