GOING OUT TO EAT & TRAVELING

GLUTEN-FREE WORKSHOP

Going out to eat at restaurants, friends or relatives homes,

catered affairs, etc. is a major part of most Americans lifestyles.

In fact, if you think about it, just about every aspect of our social

lives ends up with food involved. Even the usually cherished

vacation becomes more of a problem than a pleasure.

Most Celiacs, because of their Gluten-free diet, begin to dread

these occasions, rather than enjoy them. Many stop going out

to eat or traveling completely! Be it out of fear, embarrassment

or lack of knowledge we let Celiac Disease take over our lives

and not just our diet.

Yes, we must strictly adhere to our gluten-free diet to maintain

our health, but we don't have to let Celiac Disease become

something even bigger than it is. Once diagnosed and strictly

following the gluten-free diet most of us, after a reasonable period

of time, are as healthy as other humans, with all the normal ails

and ills. We can and should be able to make those adjustments

that will allow us to enjoy our lives to the fullest - even with the

inconveniences of our dietary restrictions.

No doubt about it - it can be overwhelming, but together we can

approach the problem on a personal, Celiac helping Celiac,

logical step-by-step basis and come up with the best way for

you to deal with it in your life. You're not alone. We are all

overwhelmed by it at one time or another. It's how we deal

with it that makes a big difference.

Bob & Ruth's was started by Bob & Ruth Levy in the fall of

1998. Bob is a Celiac with a fresh, positive attitude toward

what a Celiac's lifestyle should be like and the ability to

convey that message to other Celiacs. We arrange Gluten-free

Getaways 3 to 4 times a year to the Caribbean, Culinary

Institute of America, Nassau, Alaska, Catskill Mountains,

the Mediterranean, New Orleans, Scandinavia and more to

come. " Gluten-free Friendly Menus " , and a quarterly newsletter

that, among other things, highlights national chain restaurants'

menus and much more. Our mission is to help other Celiacs

learn to relax and enjoy their lives - despite the regimentation

and inconvenience of the gluten-free diet.

OUR WORKSHOP WILL GIVE YOU THE TOOLS TO:

Read a menu - Gluten-free style

Be more creative in ordering foods out

Talk Chef talk

Ask for help (and get it)

Be less self-conscious

Be more assertive

Know your diet

Explore other cultures' foods

Handle business dinners

Deal with Kid's menus

Go to dinner at friends and family homes

Prepare for those awkward first dinner dates

And, More
