A List of Fast Food Restaurants That Offer Gluten-Free Foods

According to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, two million people in America are afflicted with celiac disease. Those that have this disease cannot digest gluten, which is an element found in wheat, rye and barley. In order to combat the negative effects of this disease such as diarrhea, fatigue and anemia, people with celiac disease must adopt a gluten-free diet. Some fast food places have added gluten-free items to their menus for people following this diet.
