Consider 100% oat malt.  I've had success with Clarity Ferm for making beer for people with minor gluten intolerances.
Does oat malt have the diastic power to convert in the mash?

Yes, but the most common oat malt, golden naked oats, probably does not.

Fawcett oat malt is a maybe.  My concern is it may have cross contamination.  So I am back to the drawing board on this one... maybe she can have a fruited cider that might be a close substitute for beer.

A small mead perhaps? The taste of buckwheat honey is very similar to malt extract, at least to me it is.

My concern is it may have cross contamination.

Despite having a couple friends with celiac, this is why I've never tried to brew a gluten free batch. Cleaning everything becomes a major concern. Usually we just worry about cleanliness on the cold side of brewing, but from a gluten perspective everything from the mill to the tubing becomes a serious contamination concern.
Corn is a fine adjunct in beer.

And don't buy stale beer.

Glutenfreehomebrewing.com appears to have gluten free malts.  Scott Janish has a blog in which he discusses brewing with gluten free malts.
