Alinus-great advice for social situations. I have been struggling with this for weeks. I'm definately going to try eating first then bring almond/craisin mix. I have found that others feel worse for us than we do for ourselves when we don't eat what they are. I was gluten-free for 2 years before being diagnosed AS (my daughter has severe wheat allergy). We would pass when offered doughnuts at gatherings and others would say "I'm so sorry you can't have it." For us, after a while, it was no big deal.
