It is insult to injury that the charity Coeliac UK is completely unwilling to assist those who are 'only' gluten intolerant, that is, those for whom the blood test comes back negative. At least here in Britain, the general attitude towards allergies and intorlerances has improved, but the majority of establishments still have no gluten-free menu, let alone an isolated coeliac-safe kitchen.

It's the same in Canada (Montreal, specifically)—if not worse. It's getting better, but oh man, the amount of "gluten friendly" restaurants dripping in cross contamination is horrid. The amount of trust I have for most restaurants, even "gluten free" ones, is pretty much at zero.

Same goes for vegan / veg restaurants.

Always avoid supporting them. Always joke about their incompetence and rudely ask any of their members asking donations to leave. Do it frequently enough they will soften their stance.
