Because of possible cross-contamination, some grains (such as oats) are questionable and may or may not exacerbate your condition. You may have to experiment a little with oats before you know what your tolerance is for them.

The trick with cooking with gluten free grains lies in making the flours bind in a similar fashion to traditional wheat flours. You will most likely need to combine several different types of gluten free flours, perhaps with a gluten free binder such as arrowroot or tapioca or cassava flour. When several types of gluten free flours and binders are mixed together, you can bake breads, make pancakes and even bake desserts similar in taste and texture to those made with wheat flour.

Wheat

Once the kernels have been separated, they can be ground into flour. There are many classifications for flour, depending on what part of the seed is used and how hard the endosperm, the largest part of the kernel, is. Wheat kernels have three parts: the small germ, the large endosperm, and the rough outer casing known as the bran. Hard wheats are suitable for making pasta and bread, and soft wheats are used for other wheat products that do not require a high gluten content.

If a flour is made solely from the endosperm, it is known as white flour. If the germ is ground as well, the product is called germ flour. Flour that uses the whole kernel is called whole wheat. When making flour that doesn't use the whole kernel, the bran and germ are processed and sold separately. [via]]
