Cross Contamination, Food Sharing

I just had this very issue at dinner last Friday. I was at a table of 8 at an Italian night event. The chef served me and another celiac gluten-free food that he had prepared specifically for us and even had tongs for us alone for more of the food. The rest of the food, to be passed family style was just put on the table. Well you can imagine what happened... -
I too am benefitting from social distancing (USUALLY). Our community has a large number of restaurants offering takeout and delivery. We are all trying to help them survive the pandemic. So we are ordering out twice a week and cooking in the other 5 days. So, alas there is still the opportunity for trouble.

I was diagnosed in 2005. I have only twice in 15 years knowingly ingested gluten and yet I know that I am regularly exposed. I am extremely careful at home and when I dine out. I read every label and all research. I have annual colonoscopies(many polyps), and endoscopes every 2-3 years due to my difficulty with weight loss. It is very frustrating.
