How easy is it to find non-wheat food in smaller towns? I'm gluten intolerant and wondering how self-sufficient I will have to be. Potatoes and rice are fine. I'm thinking of going through Barskoon, Naryn, Baetov, Chaek, Kyzyl Oi, and everything in between. Actually following that bike route:

That's good news. Do you think a lot of the nomads in yurts would have something like plov?

Plov isn't really a nomadic food.

What's nomadic food?
Would rice and lentils, nuts or dried fruits be available in many small town shops?

Nomads raise animals, so at its most basic meat and dairy are nomadic foods. Potatoes and wheat-based foods are the typical starches.
Most cyclists stock up in larger towns since village markets are unpredictable.
