hmmm - I thought Beano tablets contained the alpha-galactosidase enzyme plus cellulose gel, mannitol, invertase, potato starch, magnesium stearate, gelatin and colloidal silica. The drops just contain the enzyme and not other ingredients. I don't see any wheat. However, even if there was wheat the amount would be so small that unless you had celiac disease and thus cannot not tolerate gluten it likely won't be a problem.

The only ingredient in the tables that might be problematic is mannitol - a sugar alcohol used as an artificial sweetner. It can be problematic for fructose sensitive individuals. As you known I am extremely fructose sensitive but I didn't find Beano caused me any problems when I tried it. However, you could use the Beano drops which don't contain mannitol.
