Subject: RE: BS: Mr Barleycorn: More than a drinking pal
Barley has less gluten than wheat, but it does still have some. Therefore, it doesn't make as "fluffly" a yeast bread as wheat (and this is one reason why it fell out of favor with the "proper" people in society who craved fluffy and refined foods).

So -- Yes. What MMario said.

Rice is still best for true gluten intolerance, I think.
