International Study on Special Diets Published

Last year, many websites that promote a gluten-free or allergy-sensitive diet encourages their readers to take part in a survey of experiences while eating out or traveling.

The final study, titled Understanding Gluten and Allergen-Free Experiences of Guests & Hospitality Worldwide, summarizes the findings from over 2700 customers and businesses in 35 countries.

The reports states, not surprisingly, that 80% of of those with food allergies or celiac disease eat out less because of concerns with foods they haven't prepared or vetted themselves.

The full report will cost you $380. However you can get a free executive summary at www.allergyfreepassport.com or at www.glutenfreepassport.com. A related site, www.glutenfreeonthego.com, provides access to "the world's largest directory of gluten-free establishments."
