Raw restaurant bummer

Is it really safe to eat in any establishment that serves many dishes prepared heavily with ground nuts for someone who can go into anaphylactic shock if they eat something that has come anywhere remotely close to nuts?

Yes cross contamination is a HUGE issue with people with food allergies.
I'd say any establishment is at risk for this too happen.
It's really sad for people with food allergies; they can feel so isolated at times.

Hi all,

Just checking in to share that I went out to dinner last night and had a good experience. It was a steakhouse but they had 3 huge salad bars in it...I checked to make sure there was NO MSG put on anything and there was not. I take my flax oil with me and sometimes avocado or soaked almonds ( my only safe nut). It was a really fun night and was easy to get what I needed. I also take digestive enzymes with every meal or snack....they help too.

Anyways....I agree cross contamination is a HUGE thing people do not realize.
It is just another LESSON in speaking up and being my own best advocate!

Hugs to all....Eat well and be happy:)
