wheatless

Lacking that grain

Wheatless means containing no wheat or made without wheat: a wheatless diet, wheatless bread.

The word appears in contexts of food allergies, celiac disease, and low-carb eating.

It saw earlier use during World War I rationing, when Americans observed "wheatless days" to conserve grain for the war effort.
