Answer 1

This website is a pretty comprehensive website and I think is a pretty good starting point.

http://www.celiac.com/index.html

Also, there's a lot of info on the web... some of it homeopathic hocus-pocus and some grounded with scientific data, but read as much as you can and you'll be able to differentiate between the quacks trying to sell stuff and people with real info.

Answer 2

I know several individuals who have this disease including my dad. Just cut out the wheat products with gluten free products. Also, focus on eating more vegetables with protiens. There are alot of resources on "lifestyle changes" discussing the best foods to eat and plans for healthy eating. Check out Borders or any bookstore.

Answer 3

You should visit your local health food store/grocery and check out all the Wheat Free products they sell. You can make a list of what meals you can make for yourself at home using those products. This might be a good way to ease yourself into changing your eating. Once you're in the habit of buying wheat free it will be safe to shop at non-healthfood stores because you know what you can and cannot eat.
