My wife is recently diagnosed with celiac disease and must eat gluten free. We are having a hard time find food/recipes she can have. Any tips?
Thanks

Check out ethic recipes Lots of Asian food is naturally gluten free and delicious. Steer clear of gluten free products marketed to people who want traditionally glutinous stuff.. like bread and pasta. It's processed as frick. Better to just do without. Going paleo would be a good jumping off point.

Many restaurants offer gluten-free dishes. (BJ's even has gluten-free pizza .)
Check out some menus or ask when you go in. The chefs are generally good about providing options for you.

My wife has celiac so I feel your pain. One of the biggest things is to always check the ingredients on the back of everything. You'll be surprised with how many products contain wheat. Most soy sauce contains wheat so Asian food would be good if it doesn't contain soy sauce. I don't know if much that doesn't contain it. Gluten free pasta just uses rice or corn instead of wheat and is made just like regular pasta. Your wife will have to be careful with gluten free pizza because of cross contamination. I'm not sure how sensitive she is.
If we go out to eat, I'll make reservations and inform the restaurant that my wife has a wheat allergy. Most nice places are very accommodating. We do a lot of meat and vegetables at home.

Look at recipes with almond, coconut or rice flour. Not perfect but depending on the recipe they are decent substitutes.
Also like the poster above me said, check ingredients even on items marked gluten free in the stores. Labeling them GF only requires a certain low level of wheat for the most part, so if she is extra sensitive it may not work for her.
I ate Paleo for a little while and it is a good place to start as someone else said. I found cauliflower to be a decent way to get things like pizza crust (that and almond flour) or "grits" or something like that.

I used to grow buckwheat and I think I remember it was gluten free. Makes excellent pancakes.

If either of you likes to bake, Peter Reinhart (baking instructor and cookbook author par excellence) has a great gluten free cookbook: LINK
