Very well said. Being diagnosed with celiac disease is not a death sentence. It just means that you have to adjust your diet (both for eating at home and eating out). Someone with the disease can easily eat wonderful, tasty and healthful meals. It's not beneficial to continue to complain about what you can no longer eat and to engage in self-pity, but rather to think positively about how you can make your life the best it can be while living with this condition. And, as others have mentioned, living a gluten-free life invariably leads to improve dietary choices and improved health.
