There is no other good source for B-12 besides animal products - like eggs - otherwise, you'll need to supplement.
As for flour... I use a blend of brown rice, sorghum, and a starch - lately potato.
Regular oats are NOT gluten free - and further are contaminate with wheat - so watch out. We no longer have oatmeal in my house due to this.
Barley also contains gluten.
Spelt isn't gluten free, but it has a lower gluten content than wheat. It is a DREAM to bake with - use it like you would use wheat - you can buy unbleached white spelt or whole spelt. (Unfortunately for us, Gedalya can't tolerate spelt
, but I still bake with it for Akiva - who is allowed 2 slices twice a week).
I use blackstrap molasses - which is a great source of iron, btw.

My problem WRT iron is that I can only add it to things *I* eat as my dh has hemochromatosis and cannot have any extra iron.

Perhaps your dh needs to do some type of detox or a liver cleanse. Or, another possibility is to have him donate blood every 3 months - that will keep it under control.
