As a coeliac diagnosed at 36, I'd urge you to get tested - as TFA documents, coeliac disease's symptoms can present in other conditions too, and CD is a risk factor for other conditions like schizophrenia.

I do miss pizza, beer & bread. And I really miss just being able to order anything from a menu when I'm out with friends. But having to avoid gluten has opened up a tonne of new foods to me, and I've gotten pretty good at cooking (by necessity!) too.

These days there are actually a ton of really good ciders (which are naturally GF). There are a number of GF beers, but they're mostly not that good.

I can also recommend Udi's GF bread, a bit pricy and you keep it frozen, but it defrosts in the toaster easily and is actually pretty decent.

I'm afraid you're out of luck for GF Pizza, of most of the frozen ones the cardboard packaging tastes better.

I was gluten free for a few years due to intestinal problems until I got tested (was negative) and I found that the restrictions made me more creative and resourceful when it comes to cooking.
