I want to echo what Art Raiche wrote recently:
<snip>
Being a celiac means that your life is opened up to a terrific variety
of pastas and breads made from lupin, soy, rice, buckwheat etc flours.
It means that you now have an automatic brake on eating junk food.
It means that you tend to buy higher quality food and put more time
into preparation. <snip>
I have also started investigating foods from other cultures where
wheat is not the core of the cuisine. This has been great fun. A
Portugese friend just lent me a cookbook with some really terrific
recipes for all kinds of foods -- soup through dessert. We're
planning to have Green Soup tonight for dinner! My brother's family
gave me 2 Indian cookbooks for Christmas last year (one Asian and one
Native North American). They have given me some super ideas to make
the extra effort a little more fun and interesting.
Yes, the "fast food" options are more limited, but with a little
creativity and planning, we can eat pretty well almost anywhere.
BTW -- the hint to always carry a fork and spoon is a good one! Also
some kind of pre-moistened towelette for cleaning-up when you have to
leave behind the bread on a messy sandwich.
