[quote=Anonymous]My DC (non school age) has a wheat allergy. It hasn't been a problem except for getting family to take it seriously. Some of the grandparents are a bit old school and aren't used to food allergies. My MIL in particular has a hard time understanding that things like pasta and couscous are WHEAT products so we have to watch her like a hawk and feel uncomfortable leaving our child with MIL for long periods of time. We haven't done the classroom thing yet but one tip for dealing with restaurants: make sure that you stress to the waitstaff that you have a medical condition that makes it so you must be GF...a lot of people are doing it for the trend diet now and so restaurants can kind of roll their eyes and take it not very seriously. I have been out with a Celiac friend and seen her send back two plates at a well known restaurant because actually, there was gluten in there after all. [/quote]
