Comments from Don Kasarda, Albany, California.
 
Lemon grass, Cymbopogon citratus, is a member of the grass family. According
to Hitchcock it is placed in the same tribe as sorghum and therefore I think
it is not likely to contain any proteins harmful to celiac patients on the
basis of plant classification.
 
Lemon grass has not been specifically tested, however, and I make my
judgement only on the basis of its position in the taxonomy.
