Most stores that sell vegan foods also sell gluten-free foods. Many brands even mix the two.

I think my personal ideal is a low-ish carb, mostly raw, vegan diet. I would drop the grains, eat LOTS of greens (kale, baby greens, spinach, lettuce), and an insane amount of fresh fruit salad. I'm talking several pounds a day, which would require lots of liquefaction. I don't have the patience to chew through so many leaves like a mountain gorilla.
Also, a substantial amount of nuts, avocado and coconut for calories and satiety. My first vegan experiment blew up because I was hungry all the time from eating low fat.
It would be logistically challenging and a bit hard to adapt my taste buds, but I think it would be the healthiest choice, at least for me.
And coincidentally it would be gluten free.
