I suggest that if you have time you join one of the groups at
yahoogroups like glutenfreekitchen or GFCFrecipes.  There is a wealth of
information in the archives of both.  I might also suggest you look at
places like www.newdiet.com which has some awesome recipes (mine
included - grin).

If you are wondering what you can eat out, I suggest you have some
business size cards made which outline your dietary restrictions and
them have your server show them to the cook at the restaurant.  That
will help them understand the need for strict portion sizes as well as
no gluten in your meals.  We made our own at home.

Some thoughts though, if you can order a la carte:

Side salad with low fat dressing (about 2 cups if made from "free"
   vegetables)
1/2 cup brown/wild rice mixture (like pilaf)
2 - 3 oz of broiled chicken breast, skin removed, no breading=20
1/2 c of peas, beans, carrots, beats or other "sweet vegetable"
dairy products if you take them or save them for afternoon snack, like
   small yogurt with a small fruit sliced into it.

A chicken wrap  (made with a corn tortilla) with a side salad as above.
Make sure the wrap is the smaller kind, not the largest one, and that
the meat is limited to the 2 - 3 oz you should take at your meal.  Load
the wrap with free vegetables like green and red pepper, onion, a few
black or green olives, raw tomato, cucumber and sprouts.

Taco in a hard shell corn taco with a restricted serving of meat,
correct amount of cheese, lots of lettuce (romaine has more nutrients
than iceberg) and a small bit of salsa if you like.  Free vegetables in
the form of salad is always good as a side dish to give extra fibre and
to make you feel fuller.

Gluten-free soups with a side salad, a chicken breast (2 - 3 oz) or a
meat patty (make sure it is pure beef with no wheat crumbs added as
filler) or a small steak.

Occassionally a Happy Meal at McD's, skip the bun and cheese on the
burger.  See if they will give you lettuce and tomato instead.  Make
sure though, that they have a dedicated fryer for their french fries.
McD's is a major sponsor of the Canadian Celiac Society so they are
supposed to be knowledgable about some of the needs of the Celiac.
Company policy is to have separate fryers for french fries than what
they use for breaded products.
