I, too, thought I might have celiac disease so completely eliminated wheat and gluten from my diet.
There are different breads and cereals that you can find that are wheat and/or gluten free. I'm sorry I don't remember the brand names, but you can find them in the refrigerated or freezer sections of health food stores or natural food stores (i.e., Whole Foods). The breads are good..especially after you get used to them. However, I found the texture to be different...very dense and sort of crumbly. If you keep the breads in the refrig or freezer, and toast them before you eat them they don't fall apart as easily.
Once I got used to the different texture, I really liked the breads. The cereals are good too, although I don't care for corn cereals so I had to get used to them.
Also, Whole Foods (do you have that store in your area?) had quite an extensive list of foods that they carry that are all wheat and/or gluten free which REALLY helped when shopping. Absent that, read labels carefully and you can find all sorts of good food that you'll be able to eat.
Hope that helps!
