sorry to hear the diagnosis, but it can be dealt with. She is careful about her diet, obviously, but has no problem finding things she likes to eat. She is now 75 and in great health. Still skis, plays tennis and travels all over the world.
It will take you a while to get used to watching for all things gluten, but once you get the hang of it, it's very doable. There are more and more gluten free foods being produced, and lots of resources available.
We just did an 8 day cruise with her. She explained her allergy to the waiter in the dining room the first day. They were familiar with the situation (it's not as uncommon as you might think) and all week, she had great meals, all gluten free.
I know this sucks, but (as opposed to some of the other conditions you mentioned) this one doesn't have to be debilitating or life shortening at all!
All the best,
