Vegetarian wheat free weaning ideas!

Hi all, a friend of mine has a 9 month old Who is having some problems with weaning. They think its a wheat allergy combined with problems chewing, they thought they'd cracked it but she started vomiting again yesterday. She is "having to let her self feed but she can't cope with meat" so I was wondering whether anyone had any wheat free vegetarian recipes?
She has seen a Paediatrician and has now been referred onto a feeding specialist speech therapist. Some days she is fine and can eat lots of different things and other days she can't :0(

I do omelette/frittata type things to get in some calories/protein. Veg, egg, perhaps cheese, cook til almost solid, slice and serve.

Steam little peppers, drizzle olive oil, stuff with rice. Any other veg steamed and drizzled with olive oil.

The ubiquitous blw porridge fingers?

Fruit and plain/Greek yoghurt?

Not sure what sort of textures are going to be easiest though.

Does she know that her local supermarket should be able to give her a list of wheat free foods? How is her Lo with alternative flours and does your friend cook? If so maybe eggy bread or pancakes with fruit? Dahl, yogurt and rice?

we are veggie and my dd is self feeding and loves baked sweet potato, peas, green beans,tofu,scrambled egg, borlotti/butter/haricot beans,baby tomatoes,chunks of avocado,butternut squash, spinach pasta cooked soft(could use rice/spelt pasta),sweetcorn, in fact i rarely make a 'meal' but give her the veg individually, which is pretty much what i eat too.

Thanks all. We're vegetarian and DS is self feeding but he doesn't really see the point of food so I was struggling to think what to suggest!
