On Friday, May 25th, join various Arizona Celiac Disease Foundation support groups for Celiac Awareness Night at Chase Field. Enjoy a beautiful night watching the Arizona Diamondbacks take on the Milwaukee Brewers at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona.

On this special night you’ll get to:

• eat gluten free food available at a specified concession stand on the main concourse, including hot dogs, nachos (available all season) and gluten-free pizza from Streets of New York (just for this special night)
• check out the Celiac Awareness table
• watch the FIREWORKS show after the game! (weather permitting)

Click here to get your tickets.  Sounds like a wonderful night for baseball lovers and raising awareness for celiac disease.

Gluten free resources and information are a dime a dozen these days.  And then there are the resources that separate the wheat from the chaff (pardon the pun, but I just had to go there).

Triumph Dining has two excellent, well researched and documented resources that give you all the information you need on the topic at hand. One I’ll cover today and the second in a post later this month.

The Essential Gluten-Free Restaurant Guide thoroughly details the gluten free offerings at 6,500 restaurants nationwide, listing them by restaurant name by state.  This guide also provides menus for 120 national and regional chains, making it a must-have book for the house and when traveling.  Having used the guide many times to find local neighborhood restaurants as well as while traveling, I can tell you that the information it provides is accurate and highly reliable

It’s also a thoughtful gift for a friend or family member that has to live gluten free.

So, for Celiac Awareness Month I am doing a giveaway.  All you have to do is provide a comment below about why the restaurant guide is essential for yourself or a great gift for someone you know.

For those who don’t win, you can purchase the restaurant guide by clicking here.
