Celiac Form

A form for determining what restaurants are celiac safe.

I get asked a lot where I can eat, and the answer to pretty much every restaurant is “probably not”.

I made this form so others can use the process I follow to determine if a restaurant is celiac safe.

I hacked this together in less than an hour, so please ask anyways.

Notes:

• Mexican food is often corn based, instead of wheat based so they tend to be pretty safe.
• Korean places use soy sauce and wheat everywhere, I haven’t seen a safe one yet
• Buffets have lots of opportunities for cross contamintion, keeping cross contamination away in the kitchen is hard enough.
• Pizza is mixed. Some places can, some can’t. But pizza is generally better than average
• Italians take celiac very seriously, just like mexican the more authentic the better

Algorithm:

function isCeliacSafe(resMap) {
     if(resMap.DEDICATED || resMap.FiveStars){
         return YES
     }
     if(resMap.Korean || resMap.Buffet) {
         return NO
     }

     if(resMap.MEXICAN || resMap.PHO|| resMap.ITALY) {
         return PROBABLY
     }
     if(resMap.PIZZA) {
         return MAYBE
     }
     return LESSPROBABLY
 }
