Check out these Peoria restaurants with gluten-free menu items
Deciding where to go out to eat can be a difficult task for anybody, but for people with dietary restrictions, finding the right restaurant becomes even more challenging.
That is why websites like Find Me Gluten Free were created: to help gluten-free individuals find restaurants.
No Peoria restaurant was listed as a "dedicated gluten-free" establishment, which should be considered by those living with celiac disease, but there are many local establishments with gluten-free options available.
With the help of Find Me Gluten Free, here is a list of some of those restaurants in the Peoria area.
