Yes, we have many gluten-free Vegans who are members of this forum.  As with any diet, make sure you are getting adequate nutrition.  My kid’s Vegan friend seems to live on Skittles and chips.  Not exactly healthy in my opinion.

I used to only eat small amounts of meat on rare occasions, and recently lost my ability to digest any meats or animal fats. I now only eat egg whites in the morning using plant sources for lunch and dinner.

You need to find replacements for protein, such has high protein plant sources, vegan protein bars, protein chips (Protes Chips), Protein Powders (I live off of these almost) I recently found HPN Blends of plant proteins which are great, Julian Bakery Pegan blends or hte plain sacha inchi taste like a do se do girl scout cookie, I rotate my proteins also from those and Jarrow Pumpkin, Naked Pea or Growing Naturals Pea protein, etc in shakes. I get most my fats from nut butters, and my baked goods made with nut flours, along with avocados so I even eat low carb this way.
You can take most gluten-free baking mixes and sub in a Flax Egg for eggs in them, my bakery does this with our paleo muffins to make them vegan.
You can also find vegan meats like Beyond Meat Crumbles, Burger Patties, Sausage, and Brats. OR do what I do and make your own, I use Naked Jackfruit company bulk bags to make batches of vegan meat products IE, Mix in to instructions for meat of sausage and Chorizo seasoning from The Spice Company, mix it up let it marinade over night and run it through a meat grinder to make vegan sausage or chorizo.
I also take the same jackfruit, mix it with BBQ sauce ans put it in crock pot for a hour or two for a knock off Pulled Pork that most people can not even tell.

hahahahaha skittles ? omg I would likely take off like a rocket :) I forgot those existed! Yes adequate nutrition is key, I am only eating food I prepare and trying to rotate my food too. I need another fridge!

Anything you can make in a big bowl.  Divide it up!

      @terrymouse, I agree that you may be suffering from nutritional deficiencies already.  Get tested for nutritional deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise the vitamins you're taking can mask a deficiency.   Symptoms that you have are similar to what I experienced with malabsorption of Celiac Disease.  I would lose my appetite; if I did eat, I got full quickly, and had nausea, dizziness, trouble digesting fats, abdominal pain, and heart palpitations.  I had unintentional weight loss.  I also had my gallbladder removed.  I was deficient in the essential nutrients, especially Thiamine and the other B vitamins. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms may appear first because our body can't store it for more than three weeks and our metabolic needs for Thiamine increase when we're physically sick or emotionally stressed, so we can become depleted quickly.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms include gallbladder problems and all the ones list above.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins are needed to digest our food and turn it into energy for our body to function.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is frequently overlooked by doctors.   Ask for a DNA test to check for any known genes for Celiac Disease.  You have to have at least one gene for celiac disease to develop.  You don't have to be eating gluten for a DNA test.  Your genes don't change.  If you don't have any celiac disease genes, you can focus on other reasons for your illness.  If you do have celiac disease genes, with your positive blood test results, you, your doctors and nutritionist can focus on correcting nutritional deficiencies which will help you heal and feel better.

      @Alibu, There may not be textbook intestinal damage in the early stage of Celiac Disease!!! Keep in mind that the endoscope used can only reach about a foot past the stomach, while the small intestines are twenty-two feet long!  Damage can be patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Early celiac disease may not show damage at all. Don't compare your tTg IgA numbers with others.  Every lab uses their own range values.  Tests from different labs are not using the same scale and shouldn't be compared with other people's numbers from a different lab.   You've got the Celiac genes and the positive antibody test and the EMA test.  Next step is a Gluten Free diet trial and look for improvement.  Celiac Disease can be diagnosed using genetic testing and response to a gluten free diet!  I'm seronegative, but DQ 2.5.  My doctors were clueless.  They didn't see any classic textbook damage, so didn't bother to biopsy.  Ack!    This study followed people who showed no or little damage at first....they accrued more damage. Outcomes of Seropositive Patients with Marsh 1 Histology in Clinical Practice https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4980207/ There's a move to be less reliant on endoscopy for diagnosis.

      I was introduced to a new-to-me alcoholic beverage yesterday, a grapefruit radler. The bartender said it was sugar- and gluten-free and I trusted him. After I ordered a second drink, I had the good sense to look it up: it’s half beer! Usually wheat beer. BUT it gave me no symptoms—no bloating, fatigue, stool issues. Anyone else have this experience?

      are these gluten free, I know that they don't devote space and there could be cross contamination but can they be eaten by celiac person?

      knitty kitty brought up something that also occurred to me. Namely, the reason you don't like bread and pasta may be that your body has been instinctively telling you, "this is harming me" and so you avoid it. Cake, on the other hand, has less gluten and lots of other goodies like sugar and butter and chocolate that mask what gluten there is.
