My wife and kids are allergic to wheat and dairy. One of my kids is also allergic to gluten, which is sad since he loves oats.

It's amazing where you find wheat. It's in tomato soup as a thickener.

And then, finding breads of any type. *sigh*.

We have found that Spelt flour works well for us. It's technically a type of wheat, but doesn't trigger most wheat allergies.

I don't know how much you're experimenting, but if there is variance in reaction between wheat and oats (both high in gluten), then you MIGHT want to see if spelt affects you the same way. If not, it works just like regular wheat, though it's usually a little less overrefined.

We make pancakes, regular sandwich bread, cakes, and all sorts of other goodies with it.

If it's truly, purely the gluten and nothing else, then I wish you all sorts of luck. Not only is it hard to find commercial foods without it, it's hard to simulate/replace in homemade foods.
