glutenless

No grain protein

Glutenless means containing no gluten—the protein found in wheat, barley, and rye that gives bread its elasticity.

The word functions identically to gluten-free, though the hyphenated form dominates in commercial and medical contexts: glutenless pasta, a glutenless diet for celiac patients.
