Which of the following meal selections is appropriate for the client with celiac disease?
A. Ramen noodles and dumplings
B. French croissants and donuts
C. Bacon and egg
D. Pepperoni pizza and ginger ale
Correct Answer: C. Bacon and egg
Option C: Celiac disease is an autoimmune digestive disease that is characterized by a poor immune response to foods that contain gluten. All types of meat (such as bacon) and eggs are gluten-free so it is permitted to a client with this kind of disease.
Options A, B, and D: These food items are not allowed because they contain flour made from wheat, which exacerbates the symptoms of celiac disease.
