I am one of the many people these days that has trouble with digesting gluten and wheat ingredients. Fortunately there are websites like the Gluten Free Registry that makes the public aware of local gluten free restaurants in your area. If you have an iPhone, you can download the app in the App Store. It is a very valuable tool for finding gluten free menus quickly and easily.

 

One of my favorite restaurants that offers healthy local ingredients along with gluten free options is Lupi’s Pizza. Lupi’s is locally owned, and uses many local ingredients in their pizza. I have had many gluten free pizza’s and most of them are pretty mediocre when it comes to the taste of the crust, but the Lupi’s rice crust is excellent. The ingredients are very healthy and the crust is not dry and crumbly like most gluten free pizza crusts.  If you want gluten free options with very healthy local ingredients, I would recommend checking out Lupi’s.

 

Of course, if you have severe gluten allergies, I would recommend that you exercise caution when eating out in a restaurant that offers gluten free foods. Even though the ingredients are gluten free, in most cases the kitchens are not gluten free, and you run the risk of getting cross contamination from other gluten foods. If you deal with gluten allergies or if you are interested in just trying the gluten free diet for a period of time, make sure to download the the App below.
