Celiac Disease Support Group
Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder of the digestive system that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals. It is characterised by damage or flattening to all or part of the villi lining the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients. This damage is caused by eating anything with gluten (gliadin), a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley...
Chipotle (if u live on west coast) has burrito bowls
Wendy's has a mandarin chicken salad that is really good
iv'e had celiac disease since this march so i'm pretty new 2. It sucks. i just yesterday, some chicken which i thought was ok-- but my stomach hurts worse then ever now :(
Be VERY careful
Check otu PF changs and Out Back Steak house which have specific gluten free menus.
At pizza picaso (again depending on where u live) has a gluten free pizza and IHOP has corn pancakes.
Good eating-

Found this on Taco Bell site. We can have their Nacho cheese but not their chips. Maybe we could sneak in our own GF chips. Ha Ha.
Just remember to take your own bread or tortillas and build it yourself at the table. Contamination is a problem - you can't just take the top off the pizza or the meat off reg. bread, or pick croutons out. Your food can NOT have touched any crumbs of wheat at all!
Also, Burger king's beef and chicken is gluten free if you bring your own bun.
French fries - the only safe ones I've found are at Wendy's, Chick-Fil-A. If they are gluten free, they have to be fried in their own fryers only - never in the same as breaded stuff. Bring tortilla chips, too if you need!
As for IHOP - I would question the corn pancakes. They probably have wheat flour as well, or are fried on the same griddle as the wheat ones. Plus their omelets are not GF - they put pancake batter in them!
