You’ve been invited to dinner… and your stomach drops.
Not because you don’t want to go—but because you know you’ll be the only one there who’s gluten free.
Will there be anything safe to eat? Will the host understand cross-contamination? Will people think you’re being picky or rude?
In today’s episode, we’re tackling the stress of being the only gluten-free person at the table—and how to handle it with confidence, safety, and grace.
