Dairy AND soya free - help!

I have various health issues, mainly due to/ following the birth of my DD 6 months ago, including achiness, constipation and PND.

I have just been for an acupuncture session out of desperation and she has asked me to cut out dairy, soya, spicy food and garlic from my diet. She said everything should be organic/ fresh/ no processed ingredients where possible (eg Hellmans mayo is out even though it's DF), she's suggested olive oil on toast/ jacket potatoes and that I have porridge every day. I know I can have rice milk but does anyone have any suggestions please as to what I can eat?

I'm BFing so need to keep the calories up. I've already been DF for 2 months to help my daughters reflux but I've been using soya products A LOT. I was veggie but I started eating fish when I became pregnant and still do. Oh and I'm not keen on most vegetables, especially bell peppers/ courgettes/ aubergines. I lived on quorn but that's out for the same reason as the mayo.

I don't get time to do much cooking/ baking as DD is pretty high-maintenance.
Anyone got any ideas??

It is 26 May Cuppachar. Thanks. I've been on it for 8 days now, I weighed myself yesterday thinking I must've lost loads of weight eating so healthily and I've only lost 2lb I suppose that is good as it shows it's not too drastic.
