I feel ya, Rodimus. Past few years my body has pretty much rejected the idea I can enjoy food and a growing set of allergies and other issues just blitzed all my favorite foods off the menu
- No yeast. So that means no bread, no Marmite, nothing with yeast extract in
- Nothing malted. So most cereals now out of the question.
- No mushrooms. They *were* one of my favorite foods. 
- No pulses. So no more baked beans or lentils... or Soya
- Nothing with alcohol\ethanol in it, either.
- Got a fatty liver disease, so all my fats are massively controlled.
On the plus side - I now eat pretty healthily and lost loads of weight, so I'm not entirely unhappy about it. 
Poached Eggs on "Irish Bread" (its made with Soda, not Yeast and tastes more like thick cake) with ketchup is now my go-to when I want quick yummies.
No mushrooms?!
I LOVE mushrooms! And not to rub it in, but I can still eat them.
Anyway, I know the feeling of having your options reduced, I found it the same way. 20 years ago, when I was in my teens, I had a cast iron stomach, I could eat most anything. Then about 10 years ago I noticed that some things were starting to make me ill, so I had to stop eating them. I didn't even put together the connection between the type of foods and acid reflux until a couple of years later. And the sad thing is, antacids don't work for me.
However, you're also right about the reduction of options making my diet healthier. I eat a lot less junk food, and I actually have to pay close attention to what's in my food before I eat it. Unfortunately for me it hasn't resulted in weight loss (not that I'm fat, but I could stand to lose about 25 lbs) but I do feel better generally.
Somewhat related: I just tried Subway's new BBQ rib sub. Not bad, but I wasn't impressed.

So, how're you? What do you do for fun?
