I too suffer from Celiac Sprue (2yrs) NOT FUN!!!! BUT..there is a normal life that can be lead, it just takes time, planning and research. Please start with contacting Celiac Sprue Assoc, P.O. box 31700,NE 68131-0700. They publish a booklet that gives you O.K. foods to purchase. Also try...Tri-County Celiac Sprue Support Group, (TCCSSG) 34638 Beechwood St, Farmington Hills, MI 48335. Used to be $10.00. Fantastic!!!!!!! Another neat item that I purchased and find very useful is restauarant packet $2.50, restaurant survival tips, and The identification Card. These items help you when you go out to eat and also list in small print, items to look for in store purchased foods. Get a copy of Betty Hagman's lastest books Her books are cooking books, but down to earth and believe or not great! Get on the internet and look for Celiac Mall and you can order all types of Wheat/gluten free foods. One more thing, you might want to try to find "Quinoa" pasta, the best I have found. Did not like those rice pasta nasty! Good luck. Please contact me anytime. These days I don't get on the computer like I did, but I will e-mail you back. Please let me know if the info. I gave you is still valid. Good luck Betty
