Raw, vegan, gluten free, veggi, organic - what about intuition?

I am in turmoil about our diets as there are so many factors to consider, energy, health, happiness etc.  I was veggi for 15 years then started eating meat again, then diagnosed celiac 8 yrs ago, now have immune disorder.  The boy has Asthma and Eczema.  I have spent months reading, researching and absorbing info on diet and how to protect your immune system and have now made a decision.

We will eat an intuitive diet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not one with a name or a title, just one that feels right.  Broadly speaking it is veggi / vegan but more importantly always wholseome and fresh, local and flavoursome, home grown and seasonal whenever possible.

INTUITION - meaning right for us and how we are feeling and what are we feel we need

Full of fresh flavours and textures, sometimes lightly cooked 
Freshly baked bread - for those who eat it in the family
Lots of soups and dips
Lots of salads and Fruits
No gluten or dairy for me but a little cheese for the other guys
Lots of lovely olive oil
Food made with thought and love
Very little sugar
A few rare meaty treats for the carnivores in the home 
Freezer jam (no sugar)
Lots of whole foods inc: Chestnut and Chickpea Flour
Sprouting beans and pulses

NO - limitations, just common sense, intuition, a sense of wellbeing, experimental cooking and lots of fun

Tonight - Homemade gluten free garlic mushroom pizza, avocado salad and fruit
Tomorrow - the great cereal bar experiement!

A little background - I spent 15 years as a vegi with occasional bacon splurdges when on a student night out but mostly totally vegi. In 2001 I weighed under 7 stone and felt really ill, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease so then altered by diet to exclude all gluten and wheat related products, then I got bored and started eating meat again - fickle but true. Swiftly my weight returned to normal and my health got better but the bulge kept coming and at my heaviest I have weighed about 10.5 stone and felt bloated and lethargic (I am only 5.2ft). Now on a very rocky middle ground I weigh 9.2 and still feel horrible but alot lighter so I am intending to alter my diet as follows:


Vegan and inlcuding as much raw as possible
Limit all caffiene and booze(my downfall is red wine)
I will buy fresh meat for my family and cheeses
Switch everyone to soy/rice milk and yoghurts
Include more nuts and grains in our diet
Water, Water, fresh juices - although am sensitive to oranges
Try new recipe ideas every week
Smoothies - learn 3 staple recipes
Learn to use gluten free flours better and carob


Does anyone have any advice? I am trawling blogs for ideas and found this great one. http://glutenfreeveganfam.blogspot.com/


My intentions are to:
Feel healthier and more energetic

Make my periods more bearable
Become calmer and more clear thinking
Get clearer skin
Improve the health of my family
