    Every week, it seems I see another restaurant chain add or expand their gluten-free menu, another new bakery sensitive to food allergies open, or another consumer products company add gluten-free versions of their popular foods.  Rarely do I recall a company “backtracking” on food allergies or gluten-free. So I was quite surprised when I saw Texas Roadhouse [...]

[The main part of this AllergyEats Blog post submitted by community member Linda Brown]     Many of you read my 7-day AllergyEats Blog posts entitled The Disney Chronicles: Dining out with 3 food-allergic children.  (The first one is linked here, and all can be found by clicking on “March 2011″ in this blog.)  In [...]

[The first part of the following blog entry was submitted by South Austin Mom and is published on her blog here]   Homeslice Dairy-Free Pizza (by South Austin Mom, whose son is allergic to dairy and nuts) I finally mustered up the courage to have the kids try take-out pizza a couple of weeks ago.
