Hello Sheri
I hope this advice helps you out... Firstly, the weather at the moment is just awful, bring an umbrella and warm jumpers! You never know, it could improve--- fingers crossed.
Tesco's and Sainsburys both now stock quite a few foods for people with intolerances. I've found Tesco's to be the store with more variety. Both stores stack a range of foods called 'free from' which has wheat and dairy free products. Each store also does their own brand of soya milk and has their own bakery full of french bread plus organic choices. Sainsburys has a ready made meal section called 'Be Good to Yourself' (low fat meals) and there is quite a good choice for us - the Mango Chicken is lovely. If you like ice cream, Tesco stocks 'Swedish Glace' which is a non-dairy ice-cream. I've tried the chocolate and vanilla and it was great! I think strawberry is available too. Tesco also stocks 'Vege Mince' which is very versatile and easy to cook!
I'm not sure where you are headed, but most places have health food shops. The prices are more expensive than the same brands in the supermarket. A popular store is Holland & Barrett and you can get dairy free cheese there - that's something I've never been able to find in the supermarket. Clare James is another good shop.
For quick lunches most food stores, Marks & Spencer, Sainsburys and Tesco, sell sushi lunch boxes. There are quite a few deli bars that makes sandwiches/baguettes etc.. to order so you can control the fats that go in - most shopping malls have them.
For eating out - Italian is normally a safe bet ie melon and parma ham starter, grilled chicken and jus sauce with veggies for main etc.. For Indian foods - eat in or take away, I would suggest tikka and tandoori dishes as they cooked without dairy and dry baked so the fat is less than in other dishes.
Hope this helps, feel free to e-mail me if you have any specific stuff you want more info on - I'd be glad to help.
Regards
Alli
