I did come in here to share my success with going gluten free (though I still have a LOOOONG way to go) and give a second vote for Daiya for cheese.
FWIW - my diet runs as gluten free, dairy free, low soy, and nothing fried nor greasy (I feel for the poster having issues with gall bladder -my attacks were misdiagnosed and it wasn't until it was almost too late that they figured out what was wrong - ended up now I can't tolerate any heavy fats).
AND I have trouble with my teeth, so I frequently have to switch to a liquid, easy to chew set of meals.
Add the NO energy and as much as I'd love to eat whole foods and nothing but yummy home cooked meats and home grown and cooked veggies? It doesn't happen when you are ill, a single mom and working full time. If I couldn't have any convenience food? My son and I would starve or go broke trying to eat at restaraunts.
We do juicing a lot.
We do nutricion shakes with some of our supplements.
Udi's has AMAZING gf frozen muffins if you need 'something' that has that 'chew' that bread, other baked goods need (no idea of it's DF, but it doesn't trigger my overly sensitive dairy trigger - so it's close enough for us).
Soft Baked cookies are my other 'treat splurge'
Bob's Red Mills are my favorite mixes for baking
Daiya cheese was the only cheese I could tolerate and actually like
My alternative for pizza is to take hamburger, mushrooms, onions, toss them into a baking dish, top with pizza sauce & daiya mozzarella shredds and roast for five minutes in my toaster oven. No crust, lots of meats and veggies, drowned in sauce & "cheese" ... and it 'cuts the craving'.
I have increased my whole grain brown rice intake, but I have it like three times a week... so it should still be low enough to manage. Legumes - in my chili and chicken tortilla soup are good for filling up some of the gluten cravings. As well as potatoes... At least once a week, sometimes two - I have a big backed potato stuffed with chili.
Now, if I could only find a decent cracker - I don't like most of the nut-based ones... but got 7 Ancient Grains the other day on a recommendation. Haven't tried it yet.
Oh, and a decent gf pasta that I like AND that reheats well. I don't like quinoa nor corn-based pastas. And the rice based pasta turns to mush.
