Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 While reading the posts titled Re: accomodation in restaurants/ was Celiac vs IBS article in Self and comments like this "Outback Steakhouse has a well-researched GF menu. We have eaten in 8 different Outbacks in our travels. In the less half of them did our server actually know what "gluten-free" meant. Yes, the company took the time *and money* to develop the menu, but I don't see them spending their money to keep up with staff education." it occurred to me, once again, that general awareness of Celiac is so important. There are other diseases out there that affect many less people but most of us are aware of the disease (for example, sickel cell anemia. I know it primarily affects african-americans. It is hereditary and causes pain.) If the general public knew the basics of celiac (person follows gluten-free diet, can get immediate or long-term reactions from gluten) it would probably be alot easier to get sincere cooperation from restaurants, school cafeterias, and even our own families! : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
