Vegan/Vegi vs Coeliac

    Why is it that most resteraunts will suit their menus to suit a vegan/vegitarian diet, but will have nothing to suit a gluten free diet? Statistically, as far as I know and have been told, there are more people who are coeliac than there are vegans in the UK and Ireland. Considering coeliac is a disease, where as veganism is a choice, it would have made more sense to include gluten free menu choices. It's always boggled my mind.

    I agree. It can be so hard to eat out sometimes, especially when you're out with a large group who want to go to a pizza/pasta joint.

    I was at a Xmas meal in Luigi Malones and I had salad for starters and main course. They could at least use gluten-free flour and let me have a pizza.

    It's a rarity to come across a restaurant that fully takes coeliacs into consideration.

    As far as I know, there's a gluten free resteraunt at the top of the Dundrum shopping center if you're ever there. Apparently it's been realy successful.
