Questions To Ask When Dining Out

The dining out questions on how  to avoid gluten when eating out.  These are questions to ask to make sure if you don't know, to avoid gluten.  If you know these answers you don't need to ask.  There are many places where gluten hides.  Depending on your sensitivity, will determine the questions you need to ask. 

1.  If ordering a salad, are there croutons or any types of noodles on the salad.
2.  Does the salad dressing have gluten.  If not sure use oil and vinegar. 
3.  If ordering soup, is there barley or flour in it.
4.  Do they dust the food with flour before frying it.
5.  The big question, are the fries, fried in the same oil as the breaded foods.  Usually this is a yes.  This puzzled me the most, most places only have 1 fryer.  This leads to cross contamination.
6.  Always look at the sides your meal comes with, only real safe one is a baked potato.
7.  Do they use separate pots and pans for gluten free pasta and rice.
8.  Is there a separate prep spot for gluten free foods.
These are just some of the questions to think about, before dining out.
