[quote=Anonymous]Parent with a kid with celiac - It depends a little on how severe her celiac disease is. There are people who absolutely can't even cook with the same pots and there are others that just need to be very careful when they go out to eat. Going out to eat by yourselves shouldn't be a problem whatsoever esp. for an adult. Keep your foods with gluten as separate as you can ie rolls, bread, bagels are easily kept separate. Maybe don't make fresh pizza dough or bread or pie crusts with your family there (as members of my family sometimes do). If at all possible, try to plan for joint meals that don't involve gluten. Potatoes, fresh corn, risotto, corn tacos, salads are all good. Pasta can get difficult because you end up needing to boil two different types on the stove at the same time and people will forget which spoon etc went with which pasta. If the family insists on pasta, either have her bring precooked noodles or bring precooked noodles for your kids so you aren't trying to cook two pots at the same time. Go out for ice cream instead of pie or cake. [/quote]
