Traveling and Eating Gluten-Free Meals at Small or Moving Restaurants
Celiac.com 06/03/2008 - As you travel and experience the sites of the world you are going to have to stop at a restaurant or destination that has a small kitchen. Let me tell you a little bit about myself so you can understand that I also started in a small kitchen.
Chef Daniel P's Autobiography
I started working at the age of 13 and began my work in a very small tourist town and was promoted up from busboy to dishwasher. I was so fast at washing the dishes that I was promoted up within a month to cook. I went from the buffet type restaurant to an ala cart restaurant and buffet line. At the age of 17 I was completely in charge of the kitchen—this included all ordering, menu making, staff hiring and firing, and every task a person would do to run a successful kitchen. I didn’t...

Did Japan's ANA Airlines Really Give a Single Banana as a Gluten-free Meal?
Celiac.com 05/04/2017 - Japan's ANA airline is catching some public relations heat this week after reports that a man flying from Tokyo to Australia received a banana instead of the gluten-free meal that he booked in advance.
London resident, and celiac disease sufferer, Martin Pavelka flew All Nippon Airways flight from Tokyo this week, a nine-hour flight.
Numerous media have reported Mr. Pavelka's plights in glaring terms, such as the Independent's alarming headline: Man Given Banana as Gluten-free "Meal"Â on Nine hour Flight, with the equally sensational sidebar: Londoner flying from Tokyo to Sydney was handed a banana as the gluten-free inflight "meal." However, a closer reading shows those claims to be pretty misleading.
The fact is that Mr. Pavelka did receive his specially-...

UK Celiac Man's Gluten-Free Meal for a 10-Hour Flight on TUI was 'Popcorn and Crisps'
Celiac.com 11/25/2019 - Anyone with celiac disease or gluten-intolerance who has ever flown commercially knows that reliable gluten-free food can be hit or miss, depending on many factors.

  After looking at Google images, the spleen is on the upper left abdomen, too! An organ, part of the lymphatic system for immune function. A filter. Wonder how this relates to gluten sensitivity?

  gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine
  
  Hello, everyone, This upper left side pain is interesting to me. I have this same pain almost all the time. Started 2009 when I got diverticulitis for the first time. Then had left ovarian cyst removed and a diagnosis of endometriosis all over inside. Been attempting gluten-free since 2018. It's not perfect, but still have that left sided pain....

  Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?
  
  One of my biggest issues is when a brand chooses to label one item gluten free, but not another. Why is Hunt's diced tomatoes labeled gluten free, but not the paste or sauce? I would have assumed they were all gluten-free, but why label one and not the others? It makes me suspicious.

  Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."
