Do you like rice? I am a big paella fan. I also like rice and beans and arroz con pollo (chicken with rice and vegetables). (No, I am not latino!)

I am, however, part Irish and love potatoes! I like them baked, boiled and fried. You can mash them substituting warm chicken broth for milk. If you bake or boil them, substitute extra-virgin olive oil for butter.

I am on a strict diet myself as I am both glucose and lactose intolerant, and suffer from IBS as well. You can have fruit and juice. I can't.

With your allergies, it sounds like breakfast may be your most frustrating meal. I often have baked potatoes for breakfast with spices and olive oil. Sometimes, on weekends, I'll have white rice and spicey black beans. Learn to like veggies and salads. They are delicious if prepared correctly.

Since you are allergic to flour, please advise if this is a gluten or a wheat allergy.

I think one of the ways of dealing with a limited diet that forces you to give up a lot of appealing foods is to treat yourself to foods you like. Treat yourself to shrimp and steaks as long as they aren't breaded. Oriental restaurants often have meals without milk products and have rice on the side. (Avoid fried rice as it usually has scrambled eggs.) Shop at health food stores for bread and pasta products that are made without wheat products. I know what it's like to have to read the ingredient list of all the products I buy and I sure you are acquainted with doing that too. Hang in there, things will get better.
