Pure rye flour does not contain any wheat. However, most commercial rye breads include a mixture of both rye and wheat flours. It is important to note that many persons on a wheat-free diet suffer from celiac disease, which is an intollerance to gluten, a sugar found in wheat and other grains. Since rye does contain gluten, it is not a suitable wheat-alternative for individuals on a gluten-free diet.
