As many others have said here, I have a strict one-time contamination then no return policy when it comes to restaurants.
The UK is pretty good with Gluten Free foodstuffs and has a fairly narrow but reasonably good restaurants;
* Bella Italia
* Zizzies
* Pho
* Prezzo
Most restaurants have separate preparation and cooking areas (Pho is almost an entirely GF kitchen)
When I’m on holiday, I always do self catering, and eat fairly simple meals. Europe is fairly good with labelling allergens and have Free-From sections in Supermarkets.
Pasta/Bread is not the same as the regular wheat based versions. However I weaned myself off bread.
Pasta has a different texture, maybe like day-old reheated by microwave stuff. I like it that way - hahaha
If you're particularly sensitive to gluten the EU definition of gluten free can bite you, but having a strict rules about never revisiting Food/places that contaminate you is a good rule of thumb.
The feeder personality type will be the most frustrated with you.
Be firm with whatever rules work with you. Don't waiver, unless it removes more risk.
I'm so happy knowing my struggle with this is shared, and that others have similar reactions and coping strategies!
