I don't eat dairy either, but like I said in my post before, the cookbooks usually have several chapters to help you choose the right foods, and give you some ideas better than I can. What it comes down to is having to read the ingredient list on every item you buy. And also doing more food preparation at home. That way you have total control over the ingredients.

Most prepared foods have all the "added ingredients" that might contain gluten, so you'll have to find gluten-free substitutes that are similar. I don't know what your triggers are, but I like Blue Diamond Nut-Thins (crackers), I make a lot of soups that are easy to pack and reheat, there's plain sauteed chicken breasts, canned tuna, salad mixes, things like that. I stock up on Almond milk (chocolate flavor is good) and Rice Milk.
I stir-fry lots of veggies and rice--also tasty for lunches.

I bought "The Gluten Free Gourmet" by Bette Hagman--has mostly recipes for breads, cakes, cookies, etc---all the stuff you miss.
