Tell us: what makes eating out with dietary restrictions so darn difficult?
This thread is our chance to show the world just how challenging it can be. The more we share, the stronger the case for making dining out inclusive for everyone.
Feeling like such a burden to the staff. It SUCKS being on the receiving end of an eye roll when you’re just trying to not be stuck on the toilet for the rest of the night lol
being told they’ll try their best but ‘can’t guarantee’ I won’t end up sick… it’s just hard to feel at ease with that

@PastalessPrincess I hear ya on this one! Most gf options just take the gluten out and don’t replace it with anything
It’s hard to know which places actually train their staff to handle food allergies and which are just winging it

I feel like someone else is deciding what’s safe for me without giving me all the information, especially when the allergen info is not written down
