You may not be able to manufacture anything vaguely like 'bread'. There
are for sure some fluffy-looking baked goods with browned exteriors out
there for people with diverse sensitivities, but i hear the texture and
flavor leave everything to be desired. You may as well be eating foam
rubber.

Also, there are a few different ways that a person can end up advised
not to consume wheat, and depending on which you're looking at, that may
disqualify some alternative grains.

I agree with Wayne - we're just a peanut gallery of disinterested
individuals, what you need is a professional nutritionist who specializes
in this sort of thing.
