How do you eat wheat, gluten and dairy free at a wedding?

Gluten, wheat, and dairy allergy?

• So what exactly can I eat now? I go to a university and eat in a cafeteria..I seriously like to eat a lot too, and I don't want to be hungry all the time. What kinds of foods can I eat?

• Answer:

  You can't eat in the cafeteria. Especially with a dairy allergy-it's extremely dangerous. I couldn't go into residence at university because I have celiac disease. As for the gluten and wheat allergies, you need to learn about something called cross-contamination, which is when something seems gluten-free (let's say steak and potatoes) but it gets gluten (say the steak is grilled on a grill that had marinated chicken wings. Most BBQ sauces contain wheat. Therefore you can end up with gluten in your system). A good place to start would be to go to the bookstore and buy a gluten and dairy free cookbook. They contain a wealth of information on shopping, etc. Also the g free diet by Elizabeth Hasselbeck is a good source. The canadian celiac association main website is also a good source for looking at gluten-free foods and what you cannot eat. Honestly, your lifestyle is in for a huge overhaul. And it won't be easy. It took me six months to adjust. Message me if you need more help. It's an extremely strict diet, but it gets easier with time. *Also go to www.livingwithout.com.
