San Francisco restaurant closes and leaves angry note: "we don't give a f*** about gluten-free"

122. This isn't just about people with Celiac disease. But most of them can still be accommodated

in a Chinese restaurant because Chinese restaurants don't tend to use wheat flour. When they need a thickener, they use cornstarch. And there is a widely available soy sauce that is 100% soy -- no wheat. I bring it along with me when I travel, but most Chinese restaurants have it anyway.

Am I supposed to never be able to travel again because of my gluten sensitivity? There is no reason Chinese restaurants shouldn't be able to accommodate this as well as other restaurants. In fact, it should be easier for them since they have less of a reliance on wheat flour and none on pasta or bread.

And why do you think Celiacs are the only people with a real problem? I have gluten-sensitive Crohn's and another relative has had to eliminate gluten because of elevated liver enzymes. A friend of mine gets migraines from gluten, and research has shown that she's not alone. Are none of these people ever supposed to be able to eat outside of their homes?
