If you are trying to detox, there are several things to be concerned about while eating out:
– GMO ingredients – these are commonly found in sauces and salad dressings. Some restaurants soak their salad in GMO sugar water, so be aware.
– Cross contamination – Restaurant fryers can cause oil cross contamination of gluten. Cutting boards or counters can be used to prepare grain containing foods. Some restaurants make home made breads, tortillas, etc. This can lead to flour dust being thrown into the air – massive cross contamination!
– Family pressure/coercion – Some family members will try to tell you that “a little won’t hurt you”. Some family members will not understand the serious nature of gluten sensitivity.
– Planning a vacation/trip around activities and not food. Plan vacation based on activities and healthy food experiences. They can be far more memorable than eating foods that might make you sick and ruin the trip altogether.

Additionally, most forms of alcohol are made from grains. At the top of the list are beer and malted beverages like wine coolers. It’s recommended that you proceed cautiously with any of the grain-based alcohols such as whiskey, certain vodkas, and gin. Many claim that these are OK because they are distilled, but clinically, patients continue to have reactions to grain-based alcoholic beverages. Additionally, alcohol slows the healing process and can contribute to other health problems. If you are going gluten-free because you are sick, drinking alcohol will not serve as beneficial to aid in your recovery. It is best to stop drinking alcohol altogether when you are gluten intolerant.
