[usr] When I go out to a restaurant, I order gluten free food items.  I have to trust that the cook and server take my request seriously.  If not, my food could be gluten free but cross contaminated with foods that aren't and still make me ill. [sys] What kind of illness occurs if food is cross contaminated? I'm so sorry this happens to you. [usr] If it's mild, just stomach pains for a few days.  If I were to say, eat a bun that was supposed to be gluten free and it was full gluten, my joints also inflame.  So you see it can affect more than just my stomach! [qst] [None] [bhv] I'm in a negative mood, please comfort me.
You suffer from it more severely than most people I know, this can be devastating to people.
Any time I order food, I count on the cook and server to make sure it's handled and cooked appropriately.
