In fact, for Passover, just grain and water. Anything else you make will be symbolic only. The halachic (Jewish law) obligation to eat matzah throughout Passover is only at the seder(s), prescribed amounts and times. Anything else you make that's crunchy and serves the same food purpose (for spreads, etc.) is for you own pleasure. And enjoy! I have a discussion from the LongIsland listserve about what Elaine wrote to someone who wondered if he should jeopardize his diet to fulfill the seder night obligations. (Whoever is interested, please contact me offlist and I'll be happy to send it to you.) YMMV, and I would recommend consulting a rabbi whose judgment and scholarship you value. With very, very few exceptions, the obligation to preserve one's health is usually paramount, but as an observant Jew I do not set the parameters myself but consult a rabbi. There is gluten-free matzah available, and while we all know that gluten-free isn't worth much, it may minimize any possible harmful effects that eating grain matzah would have.
