    Navigating a Super Bowl Celebration When Gluten-Free

    If you're gluten-free, attending a Super Bowl party can be a little tricky, but with a few tips, you can ensure you still have a great time and enjoy delicious food. Here are a few suggestions to help you out:

    1. Offer to bring a dish: Bring a dish that you know is gluten-free, so you have something to eat and can share it with others. Consider bringing a pasta salad, a dip, or some gluten-free appetizers.
    2. Communicate with the host: Let the host know about your dietary restrictions and ask if they can accommodate your needs. They may have some gluten-free options or be willing to prepare something special for you.
    3. Try to go first in line and avoid seconds: Food can easily succumb to gluten cross-contact to be mindful of this if food is on a buffet.
    4. Read labels carefully: If you're unsure if a food item is gluten-free, check the label or ingredients list. Be mindful of hidden sources of gluten, such as soy sauce, malt vinegar, and seasonings.
    5. Bring your own snacks: It's always a good idea to have a backup plan, so bring some gluten-free snacks with you, just in case.
    6. Have a drink: Many alcoholic drinks, such as beer, contain gluten, so opt for gluten-free alternatives, such as wine, spirits, or gluten-free beer.

    With these tips, you'll be able to enjoy the Super Bowl festivities while still sticking to your gluten-free diet and avoiding getting sick.
