Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hi,Marilyn has previously posted a card she made up to hand to restaurant folks so they would know what her eating parameters are. Simpler than explaining. I am sure I saved it. But I cannot find it. someone must have taken it right out of my computer --grin. Sorry, I thought I saved it, maybe i did not. Might be finadable in archives. 3. Do you guys go out to eat? I usually order chicken, but I suppose even if i ask for it plain, it may have been injected with a broth that was an illegal. Do I really need to stop eating out? It's not that I'll miss the food, but I will miss the social aspect when people invite me out.Re: Ready to take the plunge, but need some support/advicePosted by: " Heil" heilh1@... hezzie01Thu Dec 10, 2009 10:14 am (PST)Congrats for going on the diet!I used to manage a restaurant so a few tips for eating out...EVERYTHING is usually seasoned.But, I would often get requests for people that have allergens, etc.1. As crazy as it sounds, tell them you have an allergy. Some people will hear "diet" and not take is seriously...I have seen people getting served things that they did not want because they said they just didn't like it or were on a diet. When you say allergy, the manager does not want to be help responsible for an allergic reaction.2. As if they have a gluten free menu. Most things on this menu can be modified and it will give you a good idea of what things to look at on the menu.3. We always kept fresh chicken and steaks in the back that have not been marinated yet. On many occasions, I would go get a new piece that has not been contaminated for people with allergies just to make sure there was no problem.4. Ask them to cook it on a sizzle plate or seperate from the rest of the food. Like people with glueten allergies, the food cannot touch the grill, etc because illegal ingridents are also placed directly onto it.5. Find a small group of restaurants that can accomidate your needs. We had many repeat guests because we were willing to cater to their needs.6. If you are going to a new place and don't know if you will be able to eat anything...eat before and have something like a house salad at dinner.Hope this helps!

Peas are on MY restaurant list as " can't have " because *I* can't have them. I throw up if I eat them. <g> But someone who can eat nice new baby peas could put them on in place of, oh, say, broccoli, or in addition to everything else listed. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
