    In this episode of the Healthy Celiac Podcast, host Belinda Whelan delves into the controversial topic of extra charges imposed on gluten-free options at restaurants and cafes. She discusses recent lawsuits against Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts for charging extra for lactose-free milk, and how this could be considered discrimination. The conversation then shifts to the potential class action lawsuit against Chick-fil-A in the USA for charging extra for gluten-free buns.

    Belinda explores the potential outcomes of these lawsuits, the impact on the gluten-free community, and the broader implications for businesses globally. She shares her personal experiences and invites listeners to join the conversation about whether businesses should be held accountable for these extra charges.

    Belinda also reminds listeners that celiac disease is covered under the Disability Act in several countries, including Australia, the USA, Canada, and the UK. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the challenges of dining out with dietary restrictions. Tune in for more insights on living well with celiac disease.

    In this episode, we’re going to tackle the tricky terrain of ‘may contain gluten’ labels - a real headache for those of us living with celiac disease. We’re going to get real about the struggle, advocating for a no-gluten policy. I’ll share about my own dedication to health, shaped by personal journeys and a strict discipline that has kept me safe from gluten.

    If you find yourself caught between the appeal of easy options and the necessity of strict dietary compliance, this conversation offers insights that could transform your approach to managing celiac disease. You’ll hear me share the hard truths and my thought process on why ‘may contain gluten’ is a label best left untouched on the supermarket shelf. With plenty of safer choices out there, opting for products with this warning feels like an unnecessary risk to our health.
