The cost for gluten free food is relatively high but when you factor in the fact that you don't eat outside as much it works out. The only bad thing is the poor bastard can't drink any ol' beer.
There are lots of resources out there including a gluten free restaurant/grocery guides. I would start there. I'll ask him if he has any tips for you.
p.s. We were talking about Thanksgiving plans today and he mentioned he was hosting Thanksgiving dinner for his family for change because he was tired of brining one dish to the dinner and consuming said dish by himself. He's hosting a gluten free thanksgiving. |
Saden pretty much is spot on. My Sister-In-Law is on a gluten free diet and its not that hard after you make the adjustment. They eat out alot and most returaunts now have a few things that are gluten free. If they are going out for a planned meal with like famly or work she will call in advance to see if they some gluten free meals or can acomindate her and most do. She is pretty lazy and cooks very little so if she can make it work anyone can. She's so dam lazy even her dad jokes how different his two daughters turned out.
