Meals with Friends and Family
Sometimes, it can be more difficult to stay gluten-free when eating at a friend or family member’s home than it is at restaurants because most chefs and servers undergo training for food sensitivities, while your mom has not. Going gluten-free and creating a perfectly gluten-free meal requires study and deep cleaning of the kitchen.
It’s not advisable to eat food prepared by friends or family unless you supervised the whole process of meal preparation. The one in charge of food may not realize that soy sauce or flour can ruin your meal and diet, and they won’t know to watch for other hazards that may cause cross-contamination. It would still be safer to bring your own food.
Gluten can hide in places you wouldn’t expect. When you’re just starting a gluten-free diet, don’t let your guard down at all. However, if you’ve mastered the intricacies of the diet, it’ll be easy for you to tell whether there’s hidden gluten in foods, and you’ll know to avoid it.
