Gluten Free Ordering

I am not high maintenance, rude of even critical
I trust those around me to do the best job that they can
But I also recognize people only tell you what they know
So I ask the same type of questions to strangers, friends or foes

Do you know if this dish is made with gluten or wheat?
Do you know if there is soy sauce in this dish?
Are there fillers in this soup, dressing, or sauce?
Failure to ask such questions will result in my personal loss

A loss of joy, feeling well, and being in control
My tummy would be as unpredictable as a volcano
A moment of passiveness could lead to a setback
And for a few days energy and wellness I would lack

I have learned it is not worth it to silently suffer
Many are eager to help if you are honest
And in the end the matter comes down to service
The effects of gluten and wheat are things I do not miss

The essence of gluten free is curiosity and education
Educating yourself on how to read food labels
And a curiosity to find safe recipes, restaurants, and stores
Realizing your health is worth that and so much more
