Eating Out in Panama - and Getting Glutened.

"I can't eat there, it makes my tummy hurt." He said as he pointed to the steam bar at the local Comida Cerola restaurant. It's Panama's equivalent of fast food. Heaping, mounds of rice, meats, and salads on a steam bar. It's quick and cheap so it's lunch sometimes.

But not any longer.

It took one little bite of, what appeared to be, grilled chicken and yes, you guess it, glutened. So what's the mother to a Celiac three-year old suppose to feed her son in a country that does not understand Celiac Disease.
