same here. i do the shopping, usually with my SO in tow. if he wants gluten
goodies, he puts them in the cart, and pays for them.

on thursday, we had a giagantic potluck at work. of course, i could only
eat about half of what was on the table. most of my co-workers know by now
i have nasty food allergies. so do most of my friends, with whom we have
restaurant dinners about once a month.
sometimes my co-workers and occasionally my firneds try and feel sorry for
me, particularly because at our favourite restaurant the GF desserts have
eggs and i still can't eat them. i'm gradualy learning to resist
temptation. when people say "oh, you can't eat wheat or eggs, that's
horrible" i usually respond "being anemic, underweight, and having dizzy
spells and irrational temper tantrums is worse" they get the point. the
box of timbits gets passed around the office, and i pass. the person
holding the box says "oh, i forgot, sorry" and i say "don't apologize, it's
the thought that counts" (ie they didn't ignore me - i have a problem with
being ignored)
