Pro tips and a quick summary of everything gluten free at Life Alive
- When you order at the restaurant or online/in the app for delivery/pickup, tell them you have an allergy or Celiac Disease so they take precautions with your food.
- Life Alive has a massive amount of gluten free options with their entire menu showing labels for GF (gluten free), DF (dairy free), and more!

- Personal experiences here are ok! I have only been to Life Alive once, and I am pretty sure I got glutened.
