Recommended Gluten-Free Salt Lake City Restaurants

Gluten Free Salt Lake City

Ever heard of the phrase “food anxiety”? If you haven’t and are now gluten-free, especially if you’re Celiac, you will almost surely have experienced this type of stressor. Food anxiety relates to the stress caused by eating, especially when eating out. In this case, the burden is caused by being unsure if the food you have ordered or purchased, won’t make you sick.

Believe me, I have had food anxiety on multiple trips and vacations. I understand how this type of nervousness 

can affect and even ruin a vacation. Always remember that the recommendations in this book aren’t a guarantee you’ll never get glutened.  Even with all my experience and knowledge, I still get glutened two to three times a year. Keep in mind I travel six to eight weeks of the year and eat out about once a week. This being said, the chances of getting myself cross-contaminated are high because of the quantity of food I eat away from home.
​
Although Salt Lake City isn’t known for it’s gluten-free food scene, there are still places you can go in Salt Lake that are gluten-free friendly. A good gluten-free friendly restaurant will cater to your food needs, offer more than salads for their menu selection, and the wait staff will check with the chef for your meal ingredients.
