\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s finally becoming easier for those with gluten<\/a><\/strong> sensitivities and Celiac disease to eat with the rest of the world. More and more products are clearly labeling if they\u2019re gluten-free and many restaurants are offering a gluten-free menu. Add to that growing list the popular chicken sandwich chain, Chick-fil-A<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Chick-fil-A website has provided a gluten-free menu listing all the menu options that are acceptable for those on a gluten-free diet.
\nMany of the entree choices are limited as many of the menu items are based around sandwiches on wheat buns and chicken breaded with wheat flour. However, Chick-fil-A has taken the extra steps and listed all the sauces and dressing that are safe for a gluten-free diet. Many restaurants do not go to this extent and consumers may end up eating gluten and not know it.<\/p>\n

Some of the items on the gluten-free menu include the chargrilled chicken filet (no bun), the chargrilled chicken garden salad, and the chargrilled chicken and fruit salad. A few signature sides such as the cole slaw, carrot and raisin salad, and the waffle potato fries are on the menu as well. These additions to the gluten-free menu are much wider than most fast food<\/a><\/strong> chains, and the fact that they can offer fries indicates that they have taken the care to have a dedicated fryer that is not also used for breaded chicken products.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As gluten sensitivity and Celiac disease<\/a><\/strong> are being discovered to have been widely overlooked and under diagnosed in the past, the need for gluten-free menus is beginning to grow rapidly. Families are needing more options that provide for the dietary needs of all members. It\u2019s always refreshing to see more products and companies being sensitive to this growing need.<\/p>\n
