Wheat free but not GF

My daughter (now 29yo) is exactly the same. She can't eat wheat, but gluten is fine. What we've found with her diet is that the only thing that really works well is rye. We make a 100% rye loaf that she eats without any problem at all. Pretty sure the recipe we use is that of Mini Oven, perhaps with a few modifications...

It's not an "super easy" loaf to make, but she finds it better in taste and texture than most GF breads she's tried.
As for other flour types, we've tried many. Most of the nut flours are fine (example: Almond flour), corn flour is fine, other GF flours are fine (example: Tapioca flour), but other than rye most of the grain flours don't work (example: Spelt didn't work).
It's not an easy road, but it can be traveled. :) Good luck!
My mother in-law is similar. Sourdough spelt works for a day or 2, but Rye has always been fine. Not tried her on the older wheats like Korasin, Einkorn, etc. yet...

My husband just cannot eat wheat - everything else if fine, such as barley, rye, oats, you name it. Anyone have some good bread recipes? Thanks! Jennifer
