Many people do not tolerate the wheat protein gluten - they have a so-called celiac disease. Everything that is baked with normal flour, they must not eat. Meanwhile, there is a large supply of good tasting alternatives. Beware: Gluten-free flours can not replace wheat flour in recipes 1: 1 unfortunately. Please always follow the instructions on the packaging!

For example, Teffmehl from Bauckhof is available online - for around 4 euros via amazon.de.
