It does suck when you have cravings that cannot be fulfilled, but I try my best just to substitute like mad. I had sorta-pizza with soy, rice flour, and watered-down tomato sauce and though it doesn't feel the same, I get some sanity back 
Personally, I can't take the smell of most fast-food products as the saturated grease in the air makes my innards react. This helps me from missing fries and such, but I just encourage my man to eat fried food at work so I can't smell or miss it. What I can't see won't hurt me, right?
I get the most flack for IBS and the rest of my inflammation problems from my friends, though. They're usually the ones that think since a year's almost gone by that I'm somehow cured. I bring my own food half the time, and since I'm the only one who has special medical needs it's hard to be assertive. Sometimes I just eat beforehand and bring gluten-free animal crackers to snack on.
Strangely, one of my girlfriends commented that she wished she could go on my restricted diet to lose some weight. I laughed at her for five minutes before explaining the pages-long side effects as though we were in a pill commercial.
