    Gluten is a protein that is found in wheat (and similar proteins of the tribe Triticeae which includes other cultivars such as barley and rye). When someone is allergic to gluten the only effective treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet.
    Here is a link to a website with ideas for cooking without gluten:
