Ok you are getting lots of gluten filled answers!!
I use gluten free pastas a lot, my faves are Tinkyada and Ener-G both are found in health food stores and online.
Also Lundberg Farms makes a YUMMY risotto that's gluetn free and low fat! Its Delicious!!
Try jazzing up the potatos, bake in the oven, make home made fries, sautee with spices.
Try various rices, jasmine, risotto, etc.
Really you dont want a ton of carbs anyway! But if you like to cook or bake, there are TONS of gluten free versions of breads, bagels, muffins, rolls, cakes, cookies, etc.
I'll list a few and if u need any further info let me know!!

Pasta
Plantains, fresh roasted Chestnuts. Not store bought, roast them yourself they taste just like potatos
Pasta?
Bread
sugar
pasta
Wheat pasta, wheat bread, kidney beans, fruit
breads, cereals, pastas also high in carbs...don't know about the gluten thing, though?
Bread and Beer...
all kinds of grains: oats, barley, etc. Go to your local health food store (Whole Foods?) and check out the bulk grains section.
Ice Cream, Chips,Pretzels, Peanuts, Peas
If you look in the health food section of your local supermarket they will have a range of gluten free pasta etc which will add variety to your diet.
Couscous is easy to make and you can flavor it a million different ways.
Carrots, Bananas, CousCous, Onions, Turnips, Apple, Kiwi, Nectranines, Oranges, Pears, Pineapples.
My daughter is gluten sensitive. Initially, the choices seemed depressing, but our local grocery store recently added a whole gluten free section. Check around! If you buy your own bread maker, and use allowed flour (corn, potato, rice, etc), and your imagination, the sky is the limit; you CAN have bread and pasta, it just needs to be made from the right kind of flour. Good luck!!!
