Certain supermarkets cater for celiacs and they are doing this more and more now. Gluten free sausages, gluten free biscuits and gluten free bread etc. The gluten free bread used to be pretty awful but it has improved a lot over the last ten years. Once you eliminate all the gluten you will feel so much better.
Pegasus, thanks for your advice-
I'm in the US. We don't have as much awareness of celiac disease here as I've heard there is in the UK and Europe. There is one area store that has a pretty good selection-but the food itself is more expensive. I do have one of the books that tells all the edible foods and it helps a lot, especially when I was first getting started. I think it is one of the things that made me not go crazy when I was first trying to eliminate gluten.

I have eliminated it from my all my usual foods, but I still find myself occasionally getting glutened when I'm eating out. I have decided to give up soda dispensers because I think they caused my last two glutenings.
Thanks for this!
