Take your friend to a local whole foods or organic food market. If they are allergic to the gluten in wheat, they will find lots of alternatves. Rice is easily digestable, that is why it is usually a baby's first food. Your friend could also have celiac disease. This is serious, because it keeps the body from absorbing nutrients. It is usually triggered by gluten, the same pesky thing that causes people to be allergic to wheat. Check out the site I listed for more info on this disease. Don't let your friend treat this lightly, please.

They make bread and flour and other carb foods with no gluetin so that people who can not digest or are allergice to wheat, can still enjoy those foods. Find out exactly what he/she means by "trouble". Are they allergic? If it's a digestion issue then there might be other alternatives. A lot of foods contain gluetin and now that more and more people are having trouble with it the foods without it are easier to find. Try looking in your supermarket or in a whole foods store. Usually the more natural foods are easier to digest as well and they're good for your system/body because they contain more natural ingredients.

your friend probably has a wheat allergy. So in your friends case wheat would be hard to digest. For the rest of us it is not.

Rice is readily digestible and is used in many products to replace wheat gluten.

are you sure it is a true wheat allergy, and what do you mean by digest, heartburn? you need fiber,, if they have some kind of allergy to bread you need to take some kind of fiber pill,
