This puts you in a bad situation!

These are a couple of pointers:

  1. Stash a few gluten free protein bars in your car or bag in case.
  2. Take a few minutes to research the area. Come up with a few Gluten Free dining options.
  3. If you’ve never been to a Gluten Free dining in Altoona , then stick to foods that are likely gluten free – meats, salads, fruits that sort of thing. It is probably not the best time to test gluten-free pasta or cake – if you’ve never been there !
