I have a friend who can't digest wheat. Not coeliac; something else.And not a made-up condition; she has had intestinal surgery (she is fine now). She can eat chickpea flour (garbanzo, besam, gram) including the various crêpes or pancakes made from this.
Here is an interesting blogpost from the NYTimes: bitten.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/01/another-reason-to-love-chickpea-flour/
These little crêpes are remarkably good. I make them the night before; if they ferment a bit they hold together better. Add what you like: I've added whole cumin slightly crushed in a mortar and pestle, will add coriander. More substantial: chopped shrimp, ham or pork, mung beans or any combination of the above. Freshly-chopped cilantro. Many other things.
