<\/a>After I discovered my underlying gut problem I spent years being so afraid of food that I refused to eat out at any restaurant in fear of eating something that would trigger my symptoms. Living in fear of food is not living at all and I don\u2019t want you to follow that same path.<\/p>\n You can still enjoy getting out of the house and eating at restaurants. You just have to be a little more careful about what you order. It isn\u2019t that hard, it just takes a little getting used to.<\/p>\n Follow these simple rules and you won\u2019t have worry about or wonder what you\u2019re eating and whether or not it will impact your chronic symptoms.<\/p>\n Leaky Gut Diet Restaurant Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Stick to Meat and Vegetables<\/strong><\/p>\n Meat and vegetables should make up the bulk of your leaky gut diet so it is best to stick with them when eating at a restaurant as well. Look for fish, chicken, turkey, beef, and lamb menu items. These menu items typically served with vegetables. Make sure you are getting an adequate amount of protein. Try to stick to less starchy vegetables like ordering a sweet potato instead of a white potato.<\/p>\n 2. Get it Grilled, Poached, or Saut\u00e9ed<\/strong><\/p>\n When ordering your meat it is best to order it grilled, poached, or saut\u00e9ed. Many restaurants fry their foods in trans-fats and\/or vegetable oil which cause massive amounts of inflammation and should be avoided at all costs.<\/p>\n 3. Forget the Bread and Pastas<\/strong><\/p>\n Our culture has become very accustomed to bread and pasta with every meal. Restaurants love to give them to you because they are cheap filler foods with no real nutritional value. When avoiding gluten, these foods should be avoided. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask the waiter\/waitress to not bring the complimentary bread basket so it doesn\u2019t become tempting.<\/p>\n 4. Don\u2019t be Afraid to Ask or Order Off Menu<\/strong><\/p>\n If you aren\u2019t sure how a particular dish is prepared, then ask the waiter\/waitress. Food allergies are a big issue and liability for restaurants so if they don\u2019t know, they should go to the kitchen and get the answers for you. Also, don\u2019t be afraid to order something that isn\u2019t on the menu. If you want something simple like a grilled chicken breast with vegetables, almost any restaurant will accommodate you.<\/p>\n 5. Watch Out for Hidden Gluten<\/strong><\/p>\n Hidden flours are in many menu items. They are typically used as a thickening agent for sauces and flavorings. Stay away from thick, creamy, and cheese sauces as much as possible.<\/p>\n 6. Nicer Restaurants = Better Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n Nicer restaurants know that better and fresher ingredients taste better. They typically use organic ingredients as much as possible. They also typically cook in healthier oils that don\u2019t go rancid. Nice restaurants will never sacrifice quality for price.<\/p>\n 7. Pass on the Alcohol<\/strong><\/p>\n Alcohol is one of the driving factors behind intestinal permeability. Because of this, it should be avoided entirely on your leaky gut diet. You should love yourself enough to not give into the peer pressure. Odds are if you are out with others who are heavy drinkers, there is a good chance that they are suffering from chronic symptoms as well but they just aren\u2019t ready or willing to deal with them yet.<\/p>\n Now that you have your leaky gut diet restaurant tips in hand you can enjoy a night out on the town without having to sacrifice your health or gut healing process.<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t already, be sure to check out these leaky gut diet<\/a> tips to help you kick start the gut healing process.<\/p>\n by Just because you need to stick to your leaky gut diet plan doesn\u2019t mean that you have to lock yourself in your home in fear of eating the wrong the thing.
