Lots of soups are gluten free and very healing, especially, bone broth from meat or chicken. Add lots of veggies and glten free pasta and you have a great meal.

Think of all the whole foods that you like and also try some new ones.
Then think of ways to use these foods in recipes such as soups, like Gael mentioned.
Go to the grocery store and spend a lot of time in the fresh produce aisle getting things like fresh sweet potatoes, broccoli, asparagus, etc.
Also, quinoa, and nuts such as almonds and walnuts that are not roasted in oils.

Messa.. I buy organic brazil nuts and walnuts from the health food store. You may find them online too. I use the NOW brand.
I love quinoa and I saute onions, carrots, and celery (all organic) then fix the quinoa in a pan and add to the vegetables. Very delicious and you can even eat it cold on top of a salad. You don't even need salad dressing then!

- Most foods at Farmers' Markets.
Get to know garden herbs and all the spices of the world, too. These are life enrichers. -

I eat this diet with some plain greek yogurt. I know you can't do the yogurt, but here are some things I eat.
Stir fried cabbage and browned hamburger mixed together.
Grilled fish on the BBQ and a salad with lemon juice
Sauteed carrots in olive oil and BBQ hamburger on the grill
Blended cooked cauliflower mixed with browned hamburger
Roasted chicken with green beans that have onions and a bit of bacon cooked with it
Scrambled eggs and whatever veggies I want with it
Homemade guacamole eaten with diagonal sliced carrots
Coconut custard made with coconut milk and eggs, stevia, cinnamon.
Almond butter and celery
Roasted turkey leg with broccoli
Roasted brussel sprouts cooked in olive oil and salt, plus some type of meat
Salmon on the grill with lemon sprinkled on it and a salad and veggie
Wish others would post meals too. I run out of ideas to rotate so fall in the rut of eating basically the same things.

That is quite a list. But it basically is what we have to avoid in our house.
Do you cook from scratch? That is what is needed when we have so many allergies.
When I shop the grocery store I basically stick to the outside isle, the circumference. There you will find fruits, vegetables, meats. The inside isles have all of the allergen rich foods.
So as not to get bored with our meals, I do a lot of perusing online looking at blogs and forums for specific food allergies. Paleo diet blogs tend to be gluten-free, dairy free.
I recently bought Dr. Mark Hyman's new book, The Blood Sugar Solution. His recipes have lots of flavor and easy to make (relatively) and don't have a lot of ingredients that are contaminated with allergens.
I always ask my local library to obtain a cookbook through their inter-library loan program. That way I can look at it before I buy.
When it comes to food allergies it requires a lot of label reading. Recently corn-free has become a little easier and you can actually see "No High Fructose Corn Syrup" right on the label. But you still need to make sure there is no corn starch used in the product.
One of the hardest will be soy. I can find a product that is corn-free, gluten-free but will have soy in it.
This forum has a lot of people who are allergic to corn but also have other allergies. You may find it helpful:
