Most restaurants fail to realize that there are people with certain dietary needs. Although, now more than ever, restaurants such as Intelligent Gourmet in Tampa are offering meals that pertain to diets such as vegan, vegetarian, and even gluten free! If you follow a gluten free diet, more often than not, it is because you have an allergy to gluten. At Intelligent Gourmet we understand that you may have certain needs when it comes to food and we are very accommodating to that. We want everyone to be able to enjoy our healthy food without excluding any type of dietary needs.

What Is Gluten Free?

In order to know what gluten free meal options you have, you must first know what gluten is so you do not eat something you have an allergy to. Gluten is protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and triticale. Gluten can help food keep their shape and acts as a glue to hold foods together. It can be found in many different foods. It can be hard to realize if a food item has gluten until you do your research. Some foods you need to stay away from to maintain a gluten free diet are:

• Breads
• Soup
• Pasta
• Cereal
• Food Coloring

These are just a few examples of what is not allowed in a gluten free diet. When you are on this strict diet, it may be hard to find foods that you can eat and enjoy. Intelligent Gourmet makes amazing gluten free dishes that are delicious. If you are just starting a gluten free diet, it may be hard to adjust to the new foods and lack of foods you used to eat. Although it can be a difficult to transition to gluten free meals, you can still eat fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, seafood, dairy, beans, nuts, etc. There are plenty of healthier yet delicious foods you can eat.
