Two of my faves, both of which are great for lunches: Vegan Enchiladas with Cilantro Avocado Cream Sauce ? Oh She Glows
Vegan Lasagna with Basil Cashew Cheeze ? Oh She Glows
Kipper, these breakfast cookies are also vegan and gluten free. Would be perfect for a take-along breakfast:

Over here the most common substitutes for flour in gluten free bread used to be corn flour or potato flour sometimes in combination with rice flour. Both should be fine for you. Milk in baking can often be substituted by water or 5 to 1 water and canola oil if the fat in milk is needed for the recipe. If you can't do almond milk there is soy and coconut and rice milk. Soy milk products are usually completely dairy free but it pays to read the ingredients especially as the most absurd products sometimes contain gluten. Like my favorite Ketchup.
If protein is an issue there are dairy free protein powders and shakes on soy and pea protein basis. Not sure if they are gluten free though
Gluten free bread can taste horrible but you can bake your own. We used to eat the most delicious gluten free corn flower white Bread
I'm not sure if it works but I would check what vegan recipes use as substitutes to your favorite dairy products and check if you can use those in recipes.
My knowledge is a few years out of date as my best friend had been erroneously diagnosed with a gluten, dairy and egg allergy. Plus a peanut allergy and she used to be vegetarian until then
So when we went on a long camping trip in a different country it was quite an education

Anything from Oh She Glows is a winner. It is my absolute favorite cookbook. All vegan and a lot of gluten free. Vegan Recipes ? Oh She Glows

We stopped at Wegmans tonight, and I found oatmilk that I'm going to try, along with three different nogurts as Mr. Kipper is calling them. They had others, but the problem with So Delicious and Silk is cross-contamination. Unfortunately, those are the two that I think are readily available at our local grocery store.

On tortillas, you have to be very careful. There are many corn tortillas which are gluten free but the majority of tortillas contain flour and are therefore off the menu. In particular, nearly all soft tortillas contain gluten.

I didn't think about that, as I figured corn tortillas would be fine.

My son is experiencing numerous food allergies, gluten and dairy being 2 of many. Coconut milk is a great option and actually doesn't taste like dirt. Also, many things that contain egg have dairy as well, so be observant of ingredients on premade microwave foods or fast foods. Ezekiel makes a great line of dairy and gluten free bakery products and vans brand has good frozen options as well.

There's no substitute for reading the list of ingredients. Whilst labelling law in the US is fairly lax - there's no need to highlight allergens - it will at least show you what's in the food. And, if we are talking the USA here, it will also serve to remind you why you should rarely buy packaged food as it seems that the majority of the ingredients are unpronounceable mystery chemicals.
The real problems come when you eat out. There's no requirement in the US for restaurants or food outlets to advise of allergens or to receive proper training in the area. Whereas in the UK all restaurants will have a full allergen listing by law, and nearly all restaurants will have menus showing what you can and can't eat, and all waiting staff are required to be trained in this area, none of that applies in the US, where I end up relying on what the waitstaff say, some of which appears to be made up since some don't even understand the question.

I tried Good Karma "nogurt" this morning. I ate one spoonful and my trash can didn't even enjoy the rest of the container. Good Karma is apparently good karma for weight loss. One bite and you lose your appetite.

I only worry about lactose, but when I’m on a Whole30 I’m avoiding alll grains as well. Being an early riser, I have no problem making breakfast at the stove and still being at work by 7:00. But I have a stash in my office for those days when life doesn’t work like that.

You are kidding right? There are so many wonderful vegan breakfasts - chia pudding, oatmeal, tofu scramble among so many other wonderful meals which do not use nuts, eggs, gluten or diary. Just sub rice milk or hemp milk instead of nut based milk
I also have no idea how I'll eat there, other than meat.

LOL. When I’m back on my feet, I’ll check the local Luckys which carries at least one brand of nogurt that I have found nowhere else. There’s also an extensive selection of “food bars” - for lack of a better term - some of which are entirely fruit.

I can eat eggs, but not nuts, gluten, and dairy. I just don't want to cook eggs every day, in part because that will get boring after a bit. The other reason is that I don't want to cook every morning for breakfast, then cook for dinner too.

The recipes are tagged so you can easily see what is nut-free, gluten-free, dairy-free (vegan). Although many do have nuts.
