Diet Craze: Would You Go Vegan For Love?

We got this post from our friends at YourTango, and thought you might like it. Let us know in the comments section if you’d radically change your diet to start or save a relationship.

Candlelight, red wine, freshly made pasta. Flirting at a small table in a corner infrequently visited by the waiter. Such are the makings of a great date.

But not if you can’t eat what they’re serving. What if you must start with a ten-minute interrogation: Can the scallopine be prepared without a dusting of flour? Can I forgo the bed of pasta and just have the red pepper salmon? Does the chef use anything to thicken the risotto? Embarrassing. Your waiter takes a few trips to the kitchen to speak with the chef, and your date progresses in fits in starts. And — let’s be honest — you might seem a little high-maintenance (think Sally Albright, the picky heroine who ordered everything on the side in the romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally).

However, if you have Celiac Disease – a condition where the immune system reacts negatively to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye – your questions aren’t a matter of preference. You must avoid the flour and pasta! Even if you aren’t a vegetarian or vegan or suffer from an intolerance or allergy, chances are at some point you’ll dine out with someone who is. In these situations, how do relationships fare?
