Use Open Table to book a reservation. You can type your concerns into your reservation and list allergies. This helps take the talking out of it.
Make a reservation and tell them you need an experienced waiter. (More likely to know the menu better)/, handle recipe questions.)
Don’t let the waiter leave until you know everything that will arrive on the plate. Everything.
Ask if the restaurant has an allergy protocol. (Big chains are more likely to have one.)
Allergy protocols can save horrible mistakes from happening to you.
Use simplified list to remove the worst FODMAP:
Grains:Wheat and rye-based products
Vegetables:Onion, garlic, leek, cauliflower and mushrooms
Fruit:Apple, pear, dried fruit, stone fruit, watermelon

We have taken our previous post and created a permanent page in our resource section for a more complete guidance of how to navigate a restaurant with low FODMAP complete advice.
