My aunt has Celiac disease. My kids just have wheat allergy which you know isn't as bad but we buy a lot of gluten-free foods because other foods have hidden wheat in them (even hot dogs). And they are allergic to dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, citrus, chocolate, coconut and so on and so on...
It's really hard when feeding one to three-year-olds but once you get used to it, not so bad. Like you said, there are more foods coming out to cater to these special food needs. (Birthdays are just tough without the cake and ice cream :p)
