After being disgnosed with celiacs disease I find it very frustrating that there is little out there to have a nice dinner out!
With so many people being diagnosed everyday it is a must that all restaurants have an alternative for us suffers.
We like to dine out to!
There are places to cater for us but somewhere andf somehow there must be a regulation that every restuarant have an alternative. I find myself staying at hoem and preparing my own meals.
How does everyone else feel about this situation?

I agree. I think more and more restaurants are slowly becoming aware of the need for GF menus/options. They need to get with the times.
When all else fails, I order a basic meat or plain salad with oil/balsamic dressing or stir fried vegetables with herbs/spices.
One thing I find handy is that a lot of restaurants have their menus online these days, so you can have a quick look ahead of time to see what your options are. If they don't seem to have any GF options, it might pay to ring and find out if they are willing to make something else for you on the night. If they're not willing to do that, then the restaurant's probably not worth going to anyway as they aren't offering a great service to customers.
