I highly recommend checking out Triumph Dining. By using their guides, you can take the guesswork out of what foods to buy at the grocery store and what restaurants you can eat at. I don't yet own a guide myself, so the information below is taken directly from the Triumph Dining website. They also show great sample pages of the guides!
Grocery Guide: A comprehensive guide of over 20,000 products. It's organized like a real grocery store, listing gluten free brands and products by category. There are also neat little symbols by the foods that tell whether the products could have been cross contaminated or if there's something else you may need to know. $20.95
Restaurant Guide: A state-by-state guide of restaurants that offer gluten free menus and options or are willing to accomodate a gluten free diet. It also gives a dozen strategies for eating out safely. $23.95
Dining Cards: These cards are a handy thing to give the staff of a restaurant...particularly the chef. They go far beyond "no wheat, rye, barley, or oats" and list foods that gluten may be hidden in, such as soy sauce and fish sauce. There are 10 available--with a different ethnic quisine per card--including American, Chinese, French, Greek, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Mexican, Thai and Vietnamese. They are folded to be wallet-sized and laminated to be durable.A single card is $2.50 or all 10 are $18.95.
