Coping with Celiac: Tips and Tricks

The best advice I can give for temptation is to have replacement foods around that are safe for you. For example, knowing I'm going to a birthday party where there will be cake, I always bring a cupcake or cookie or brownie so that I still have something sweet. I personally live in an area that doesn't have much available in the way of gluten free foods so I regularly keep safe snacks in my bag/car so that I'm not tempted to run through a drive thru and grab a burger. At the end of the day, you have to decide that the temporary enjoyment of something with gluten isn't worth hurting your body in the long term.
