I know exactly how you feel as whenever there is a birthday in our
office we have a morning tea and everyone is expected to bring a
plate. I have been teaching them over the years to go for the
healthier food like cheese and fruit in particular but this now
includes nuts lollies  and choocolate etc.

I still am unable to eat ususally 75% of the offered 'plates' but at
least there has been an improvement. At the same time they have
learned to accept my  need for the diet and have learned  about CD
in general. The fact that I have not had to go to a doctor in years
now, which I put down to the diet,  also helps show the positive
reasons for the rather restrictive diet I follow and has certainly
led some of them to review their own eating habits.

Hope this is of a little help,
