Crystal commented on the article |I too am a thin celiac (not officially diagnosed) with lactose intolerance. i'm not diabetic but i think i eat a pretty diabetic friendly diet. it's definetely more difficult to go vegan if you're gluten free but it's far from impossible. my suggestion is to eat a lot of beans & legumes and try an experiment with grains like amaranth and buckwheat. you won't like many of them but it will add needed variety into your diet.
another thing i'd suggest is learning how to cook decently. it really improves your options and there are a million recipes out there you can easily veganise or de-glutinify. you can either make or find some kind of bread/tortilla substitute that youc an use for sandwiches or wraps and there are a million and one ways to use tofu to emulate so many foods or just taste fantastic on its own.
amy's bistro burgers are the best gluten free & vegan veggie burgers out there in my opinion. but there are a few other brands (sunshine is one i think).
my recipe tip would be for pastries look up gluten free recipes and make them vegan by swapping out applesauce for eggs and non-dairy milk for dairy milk. for other things just make reasonable switches. gluten free soy sauce for regular, tofu of tempeh for seitan, garbanzo bean flour for wheat flour.
if i remember correctly there's a whole cookbook for gluten free vegetarian food but it wasn't that vegan.
you really don't need to eat that processed gluten stuff to be vegan, you're much better of eating whole foods.
good luck.
