I spent a Sunday afternoon roaming around the Celiac Foundation's Gluten-Free Expo and learning about products available for specialized diets. There's a roundup of the day on their website here including a list of all the vendors present and lots more photos.
In addition to a whole list of books (mostly cookbooks) that I want to add to my wish list, there were wonderful samples from companies I wasn't familiar with. My favorites were grain-free crackers, falafel chips, parmesan crisps, and gluten-free bread. There were some tasty desserts, as well as lots of baking mixes and even gluten-free mac and cheese.
I met several nutritionists that I hope to keep in contact with and learn from. If I practice as a health coach or nutritionist, I know that I will encounter many people who are looking to eliminate gluten from their diet, so I'm really glad to learn more about this circumstance. I'm already preparing for a future career.
