I have noticed that there is a huge difference in the response you get from people when you tell them "I am allergic to gluten" vs "I don't eat wheat." The first garners sympathy...how hard life must be for you! Nobody would willingly give up wheat so it makes sense that you are doing it because your body physically can't handle it!
You don't eat wheat because you CHOOSE not to? You are crazy. Crazy, crazy, and probably a hippie.
Anyway telling people about my gluten allergy/ lactose intolerance (which I think I actually have) has worked really well for me when I am constantly surrounded by free cake and cookies.
"Oh, sorry!" they'll say "You can't eat this, can you?"
"Nope." I reply with a slight pout. "Well, I could but I'll be sad later."
They nod as we turn away from the devil's temptation that are donuts and continue on our merry way. crisis averted.
