Celiac disease. Ouch! One of my best friends have that, so I know a bit about it and how limiting it can be. By the way, did you know there are special gluten-free breads amd stuff (they use corn or rice flour instead), though they are expensive. Oh, and in case you didn't know: they put wheat flour in sausages, so u can't eat sausages either, but I assume they gave you a list of what you can't eat (they did to my mate). I'd also advise looking at the ingredients part of the labels for food really carefully, because you'd be surprised with some of the things they put wheat flour or even pure gluten in.

By the way? Do you know what they actually use gluten for? As a binding agent. The alternatives like corn flour (the most common one) don't bind very well well. There is one that binds as well as gluten, but it's very expensive.

So since I know what it's like for my mate, I feel sorry for you.
