In a sometimes unfair and cruel world, a slice of pizza and an ice cold beer can make it all seem a little better. On a catastrophic morning, a warm cinnamon roll gives you strength to conquer the day. But if you’re having a crummy day and happen to be sensitive to gluten, or worse suffer from celiac disease, you can eat strangely dense and cardboard-like muffins and accept that the world is perhaps more unfair and cruel than you once thought.Never mind the gluten-free diet fad. Some of us are left with no choice but to cut out gluten, an evil and sneaky protein found in wheat, rye and barley, because our bodies reject it in the foulest way possible; in the instance of celiac disease, consuming gluten makes one more vulnerable to several different types of cancer. Eating out sans gluten can be traumatic and seemingly impossible. Not only are you the only person at the table with specific questions and requests, which is often met with eye rolls and annoyance (you guys gotta stop doing that to gluten-free people!), you’re also likely to spend more money than your friends on something arguably edible. Luckily Albuquerque restaurants have caught on and are starting to offer gluten-free alternatives to menu items, and a few of those restaurants are getting it right every time.
