I am only recently diagnosed with GP. 58 yrs trying to find out what works in a diet and what doesn't. Unfortunately the only way to find out what is tolerated is by trying it an seeing what happens as far as symptom's. I wondering why go dairy free ? is it because of bloating, gas what symptoms were you having. The biggest issues I face so far are terrible heartburn with mild bloating and feeling of fullness. I would be curious if you had tried lactose free dairy? I try to eat some greens, like spinach but cooked. Do you find that salads wont digest ? or is the gas that is produces painful symptoms and thats why you avoid them ? My doctor has me on domperidone 10mg 3 times daily. That seems to help with digestion and walking yes I would agree that does help a lot. One of my challenges is not to eat to much bread.

I have GP and one thing for sure that you cannot eat salad nor can you eat any raw veggies or fruit. You can eat bananas, peeled apples, canned peaches made into a smoothie. No wheat, rye or any breads other than white bread. You can have smooth creamy peanut butter (if you make your smoothie, throw in a big spoon of creamy peanut butter to give you more protein. You can have plant butter, almond milk and ice creams that are non dairy. No dairy products.
Baked fish and chicken. Nothing fried unless you coat it in gluten free flour or meal and cook in plant butter. Put a lid on if you fry in this method, add a bit of water and let it steam until soft.
When your symptoms lessen, you can try gluten. I have also been sugar free for 3 years, using only Stevia.
You can have baked white potatoes with plant butter and baked sweet potatoes with plant butter, Truvia (Stevia’s name for brown sugar) and some cinnamon.
Eat French style green beans ( no bean in it) canned carrots, canned peaches in light syrup and canned apples as long as no peeling on them. Do this for a year and you should have much less pain.
