It's good to be cautious about the diet, but there are things you can eat. For example, "autolyzed yeast extract" shows up in so many processed foods. It's not necessarily something that must be avoided at all costs. Really the yeast extracts that need to be avoided are the vegemites/marmites type things, not the spice binding additive that is autolyzed yeast extract is.
Similarly, soy products are not all bad. You want to avoid fermented or aged soybean products. Items that are listed as one of the last ingredients are usually smaller quantities than if the item is listed as a main component/ingredient.
Eating out can be tricky. I printed out a business card sized card listing the no-no's, and I would give it to the wait staff when I ordered for them to check with the cook. This almost always worked out well.
Good luck!
