Gluten Free and Allergen Free Expo to be Held in Chicago

Living Without, a magazine for people with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity and food allergies, has become the title sponsor of the 4th annual Gluten & Allergen Free Expo, to be held April 29 - May 1 in Chicago.

Editor of Living Without, Alicia Woodward says “This Expo features a variety of experts, valuable information about great tasting specialty products, cooking and baking tips, recipes, and much more.”



More than 70 vendors will showcase their products.  Attendees can sit in on cooking and baking classes taught by well-respected chefs, nutritionists and cookbook authors to learn tips for preparing gluten free/allergen free meals and snacks.  Participants will enjoy lively presentations, taste recipes and have the opportunity to ask questions and interact with experts.

The Expo also features a designated nut-free area, kids’ activities and performers, and a special allergen-friendly cooking class for children.

For registration information, hotel deals and to sign up for e-mail notices, visit the Gluten and Allergen Free Expo site.

Food Allergy Friendly Restaurant: PF Changs

How great is this announcement? To recognize National Celiac Disease Awareness Day, PF Changs introduces another gluten free menu item- Triple Chocolate Mousse Mini-Dessert. This makes 29 gluten- free items in all. Check out the Gluten Free portion of their menu to find other great choices.

Plus, the very first sentence in PF Chang's "Nutritional Information" section states,
"Before placing your order, please inform a manager if a person in your party has a food allergy. Additionally, if a person in your party has a special dietary need (e.g., gluten intolerance), please inform your manager at the beginning of your visit. We will do our best to accommodate your needs."
I like it and hope other restaurants follow with similar accomodations. Have you had expereince eating at PF Changs with food allergy? Please share!
