I have a relative who has a list of food ilnesses including egg, nut, wheat, soy and gluten allergies. As far as I know, he cannot eat anything that has the bracha "hamotzi". How can he fulfill the mitzvah of eating challah during the Shabbat meal? (FYI - He does say the full "Birkat Hamazon", relying on the fact that he is "satisfied".)
Answer
He can use oat bread which is gluten-free and is biologically unrelated to wheat or barley.
Not all poskim consider oats to be hamotzi (that's its own question) so you should mention to your relative to ask his rabbi. As DoubleAA pointed out, he would probably prefer to use oat matza instead of attempting to eat oat-bread.
