I've seen lots of other versions of falafel that contain wheat in various forms (not neccesarily flour). The gyro meat could have also been marinated in or spiced with something that consisted of gluten.
Hope you feel better!
You can make your own gyro meat and freeze the leftovers in portions.
1# ground beef
1# ground lamb
1/2 large white onion diced
6 garlic cloves minced
1 tsp. oregano
salt and pepper to taste
Place everything into a food processor with the cutting blade and run until a smooth paste is achieved.
Transfer mixture into a shallow baking pan that has been lined with plastic wrap.
Press into an even layer and cover with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 375
Line a baking sheet with foil, for easy clean up.
Place a rack inside the baking sheet and spray with non-stick spray
Turn out the slab of gyro meat mixture onto the rack.
Bake for 20 minutes, then turn over and bake another 20 minutes.
Set oven to broil, and broil until top is nicely browned, then turn over and do the same.
Remove from the oven.
At this point you can slice and serve, or cool completely, then slice the next day and portion it out.
For an easy tzatziki sauce:
1-2 large cucumbers, peeled and shredded
salt
1 30 oz. container of organic, whole milk, Greek yogurt
4 garlic cloves
5-6 sprigs of fresh dill
salt and pepper to taste.
Place the peeled and shredded cucumber into a colander set over a bowl, and sprinkle on some salt, let sit and drain for 10 minutes.
Squeeze out the cucumbers, and place into a bowl.
Add the yogurt.
Using a microplane grater, grate the garlic into the bowl
Chop the fresh dill and add that along with the salt and pepper to the bowl.
