Are eggs gluten-free?

Yes, eggs are naturally gluten-free. However, if you are following a gluten-free diet, it is important to be aware that some egg products, such as egg noodles and certain egg-based dishes, may contain gluten or be cross-contaminated with gluten-containing ingredients. Always check the label to ensure that the product is certified gluten-free.

Why can’t celiacs eat eggs?

People with celiac disease cannot eat eggs because eggs contain a protein called gliadin, which is found in wheat, rye, and barley. Gliadin can trigger an immune response in people with celiac disease, causing damage to the small intestine and preventing the absorption of nutrients from food. Thus, it is important for people with celiac disease to avoid foods that contain gluten, including eggs.

Can I eat eggs with celiac disease?

Eating eggs is generally considered safe for people with celiac disease. However, it’s important to check the ingredients labels of all foods that contain eggs to make sure they do not contain gluten. Additionally, eggs should be cooked in a separate pan or container from other gluten-containing foods in order to prevent cross-contamination.
