Numerous Rabbonim, mashgichim and a member of the US GFCO 
(Gluten-Free Certification Organization) were anxiously awaiting the 
Rov's arrival. The next few days were tiresome indeed; baking spelt, 
whole wheat and gluten-free oats but Rav Katz's dedication on behalf 
of those who are wheat sensitive or celiac knew no bounds.

Why are so many individuals relying on these special matzah runs? Is 
it Celiac disease? Gluten intolerance? Wheat sensitive? Or maybe just 
those prone to constipation?

In this article we will discuss the matzah alternatives according to 
their halachic preference. Wheat matzah for the seder night always 
has preference over other grains for those who can handle wheat and 
so we will begin with the advantages of whole wheat matzah and then 
carry on to spelt and gluten-free oat matzah.
