Good for you on the vegetarianism, Josie! I have cut almost all meat out of my diet as well (I still eat chicken sometimes) I'm not sure what you can have with your allergies, but there are some good soy 'meats' out there, and chickpeas are also a great substitute (plus they taste delicious) Just make sure you are getting enough iron and protein from other sources!

Aww, that sucks. I just checked my Schneiders Au Naturel products and they have gluten as one of the top ingredients! Too bad because they are the best I've tried so far. I've been having a hard time finding veggie choices when I go out to restaurants, I can't even imagine that with an allergy on top of it.

We just never eat at restaurants any more. It's impossible. There are two in the city that haven't glutened us (and many more that claim to be Celiac friendly but *so* aren't). One of those is a chicken restaurant, so Josie has no options there (I still eat chicken a little - that's the only meat I'll eat these days). The other one is just so expensive we can't really afford to go there more than once a year.
And yeah, wheat gluten or seitan is the first ingredient in most of those meat substitutes. Apparently there's one called Sunshine Burgers that is gluten free, but I've not seen it here.
