My mother was recently diagnosed with celiac, so I have some
familiarity with this. Rye is on her forbidden list. Oats are, unless
they come from a manufacturer who only does oats. She can eat those
cans of expensive steel cut Scottish oats, but the less expensive oats
tend to be cross contaminated with wheat, so they are no allowed.

According to http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/celiac/
" People who have celiac disease cannot tolerate a protein called
gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, and barley."

There are a number of grains that she can eat, but she can only
purchase those pricey pre-packaged bags that tend to come only in tiny
amounts. Bulk grains tend to end up being contaminated with the
forbidden grains when people switch scoops around.

Karen,

Perhaps a co-operative buying venture would allow her to obtain
bulk grain cheaply that has not been repackaged. The link below has
information on food buying clubs and food distributors who support them.

You might even be able to eat spelt and kamut--they're different
enough from regular wheat that some allergic people can eat them.

In my experience, spelt rises much better than kamut, so I would try the
spelt first. As far as I can tell, whole spelt flour can be substituted
for whole wheat flour in any recipe.
