I saw some Rye bread in Aldi the other day. It is wheat free obviously, but I think Rye has some gluten in it. Is it OK for an O to eat? (Wheat is an avoid because it afects energy I think, but is Rye ok?)

depending on compliance and which route you wish to take
O nonnies do not get rye
so finding out your secretor type, might be an option
now finding out your genotype and or running a swami would be personalized to boot
I for instance, Hunter, LDN, do not get rye but as a toxin
so to each their own ....individuality is key

O nonnies do get rye, but they don't get oats, and there's oat fiber in this product. However, it's only a tiny amount of oat fiber,and may not bother an individual who isn't very sensitive.
If you're an O secretor, or if you don't know your secretor status and are following the secretor diet for now, then this bread is acceptable.
If you're an O non-secretor, then this bread is not fully compliant- but is still a better choice than any bread containing wheat, and may be a compromise that some individuals are willing to make.

Yes, rye has gluten. If you have celiac disease, then you can't eat rye. If you're an O nonnie without a specific gluten problem, rye is neutral.
If you have a gluten sensitivity, you may or may not be able to eat rye. O nonnies can't have wheat, spelt, oats, or barley. It's quite possible for an O nonnie to think they have a problem with gluten because they don't tolerate the above grains, but really they're just an O nonnie.
