Gluten Allergies

Dealing with food allergies can be a big deal in our society.  With mainstream restaurants focused mostly on the 80% of us who can eat practically anything, those of us who have unique diets face daily challenges of finding allergy-friendly restaurants.

The establishments shown below advertise that they are capable of preparing Gluten-free meals.  As always, restaurants frequently change staff and menus.  This being the case, Ascent Health Center urges you to always evaluate the restaurant yourself before eating.  Ascent Health Center provides this information only as a courtesy in your search for allergy friendly destinations.

Simple rules to follow if your diet allergy causes serious health consequences:

1. Plan ahead by calling restaurants during their slower hours to make sure they can meet your needs.
2. Politely ask if the restaurant has a Gluten-free menu.
3. Politely explain that you have a food allergy and ask to speak to a Chef or Manager to review your dietary needs and verify that the restaurant can safely service you.
4. Familiarize yourself with foods that are natural and safe such as fruits and vegetables.  Most restaurants can prepare these without any allergens so that you can still eat.
