I have a friend whose whole family has celiac disease (Scottish ancestry). They can eat corn products, potatoes, nuts and nut butters, rice, non-grain "grains" (e.g. quinoa), otherwise stick to veggies, fruits fish, meats etc. as noted above. Some types of oat products are apparently OK.

The big issue is that in this country many products that you might think do not contain gluten actually do. For example, the grilled chicken (non-breaded) at McDonald's contains wheat gluten as a binder as it is a processed chicken product.

I noted in my last visit to the UK -- where a lot of folks have celiac disease, as it is most common in folks of Celtic origin -- whole grocery store aisles are stocked with "gluten-free" products. Not here -- yet.

Sometimes taste returns slowly -- you may wish to experiment with strong-flavored products. For some reason, seafood can often be tasted by those who otherwse have problems with flavors. It may be the strong odor (odor contributes a great deal to taste) as well as the saltiness. Maybe try a creamed crab or clam soup -- my husband liked these when he was in treatment.
