Diagnosed with celiac (can't eat wheat)

[tattiefritter]

I don't have coeliac (my aunt had something similar as a child but outgrew it apparently) and the advice given above is what would immediately spring to mind anyway. As she couldn't eat wheat she used to get a lot of wheat free stuff on prescription (free I think). She absolutely hated the bread with a passion, my mother on the other hand (not wheat intolerant) loved it.

I have a breadmaker as I think shop brought bread is crap (and full of god knows what) and it has a setting to make gluten free bread. It mentions some gluten free breadmixes that you can buy (at least in the UK) though I have never tried them. A friend of mine was avoiding wheat for quite a while and I'm sure she used to eat rye bread and was investigating using spelt flour to make bread. Both rye and spelt flours seem to be easily available in large supermarkets in the UK.

Edit: was in supermarket at lunchtime to pick a few things up and looked at the various flours on offer. Spelt is made from an ancient wheat variety, didn't say anything about gluten levels (the rye is apparently low gluten). I'm quite shocked at that as my wheat avoiding friend was going on about it. They had gram flour which was wheat free but not sure what you could do with it.
