This week’s Y&H column on beer lovers who discover they have celiac disease or are gluten intolerant put me in a somewhat existential mood. I’ve had two friends discover they are gluten intolerant in the past six months, and as I watch them abandon beer and begin experimenting with cider, wine, and cocktails, I try not to imagine myself having to go through the same ordeal. I’m not sure I could handle it, especially not without a comforting slice of pizza at my side.

Seeing it’s advice week here on Y&H, I have a question for you readers. If you have gluten intolerance or celiac, how do you eat differently? If you don’t have the disease, how do you imagine you’d cope?
