A good friend of mine just learned she has celiac disease. We live hours away from anything but the most basic groceries and she's just generally feeling depressed. She eats meat, but she's lactose intolerant and very open to vegan food. I'd like to get her some kind of gift basket on-line. Do you guys know where I can find that sort of thing for her? Or one you'd recommend?

You could make your own, if you do a search on Pangea for Gluten Free, if you don't find a premade giftie basket. You get some good things, like baking mixes, savory snacks etc and they'd come as a package. http://www.veganstore.com/category/s?ke ... luten+free

I have and love Gluten Free Vegan, fwiw.

Love the self made gift basket idea.

This place is killer, if you are looking for items to send her:

Also maybe you could include a book on gluten free recipes or gather a few great gluten free recipes of some of her favorites. There is a gluten free alternative to almost anything these days. She can see it as a great loss or a great new adventure. I haven't been able to eat gluten in over 3 years, I really don't miss it or how it made me feel. It may be tricky at first, but it can be a really wonderful change in her life. You are a good friend for supporting her, FYI. You get a a gold star, in the friend column!
