I promise, I promise, the idea of eating gluten-free gets easier. I've done it twice now (once while under extended Celiac testing; the results came out negative) and the first few months are really difficult, but eventually, it stops being so frustrating and daunting.
I know that it's not exactly the same (you kind of have to think of it as different, but still delicious), but alternatives are out there to a lot of the foods you listed; pasta and bread and cookies and brownies and even breaded chicken, though you might have the make the last yourself. If you come back allergy-free then you're miles ahead of the game and even if you don't, then there's nearly always a way. (I've baked gluten, dairy, soy, rice, egg, and sugar free, all in the same recipe, and "normal" eaters have snapped it up.)
Some stuff just has to be got used to, though, like the candy :/ I've always found that being made sick by a particular food makes me a lot less inclined to want to eat it, though.
Don't worry, you're not expressing a truly unpopular opinion until you start claiming to love Cortese's Ruby :P And honestly, I think they wrote Cassidy's Ruby a lot more ambiguously; the demon who said "Fine, go and get yourself killed, I'm not going to stay to watch" and left the besieged police station is not entirely the same character as season four Ruby, who would never have left, not if Heaven and Hell is anything to go by. I have a hard time reconciling them as the same character, sometimes, short of Ruby receiving a certain re-education between seasons three and four.
