    Is the Keto Diet Gluten-Free?

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Gluten-free diets and Keto diets are different diets with different goals.

    Celiac.com 01/14/2020 - Gluten-free diets and ketogenic, or "keto", diets are different diets with different goals. The keto diet is a weight loss diet that focuses consuming only high-fat, moderate-protein and low-carbohydrate foods, ideally keeping your daily carbs intake under 25 grams per day.

    The goal of a gluten-free diet is to avoid consuming gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Many people on a gluten-free diet have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and must follow the diet for medical reasons. Other folks avoid gluten because they believe it offers other health benefits or helps them to lose weight. There's no hard evidence of the last two beliefs.

    Even though keto and gluten-free diets are different, there is some overlap in foods that belong to both diets.

    Many Keto Foods are Naturally Gluten-Free

    Not all gluten-free foods are keto friendly. Not all keto foods are gluten-free. However, as we recently pointed out, the keto diet is largely naturally gluten-free, or can easily be made gluten-free, so people with celiac disease can easily go keto.

    Examples of Ketogenic foods that are gluten-free:

    • Fatty fish – Salmon, tuna, trout and mackerel
    • Meat – Chicken, steak, turkey, ham, sausages and bacon
    • Eggs – Choose pasture-raised or high omega-3 whole eggs
    • Low carbohydrate vegetables – Most green leaf veggies, tomatoes, onions, etc
    • Cheese – Unprocessed (goat, cheddar, cream, mozzarella or blue cheese)
    • Butter and cream – Choose grass fed cream and butter from whole milk
    • Healthy oils – Mainly extra virgin oil, avocado oil and coconut oil
    • Condiments – Salt, pepper or any herbs and spices
    • Cream and Half-and-half
    • Sour Cream
    • Yogurt or Curd

    It's always good to talk with a registered dietitian before making any major dietary change, including both the gluten-free and keto diets.

    I can't digestive all that fat properly.  I'm out.  My poor liver. 

    I support eating Meats/proteins 1st then wait two hours in eating Carbs.  Flip that around.  Give the liver a break and keep the acid stomach from going out of wack.  This called Painfree eating method which is found I believe on FB.

    Celiac.com 11/21/2014 - When most people think of celiac disease, they think about gastrointestinal symptoms. However, researchers have documented a number of other medical conditions that are associated with celiac disease, and which improve when patients follow a strict gluten-free diet.
    The recent case of a 75-year old man who experienced a dramatic recovery from Parkinson's disease after eliminating all forms of gluten from his diet for three months, has researchers thinking about the possibility that gluten sensitivity may be related to Parkinson's disease.
    In fact, there is some evidence that patients with epilepsy and other conditions may benefit from ketogenic low carb and gluten-free diets.
    The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate, and adequate...

    Celiac.com 04/20/2017 - More people than ever are following a gluten-free diet, but does the diet carry health risks that could cause harm in the long run? That's a very possible scenario, according to a report published in the journal Epidemiology.
    The report presents strong data to suggest that numerous gluten-free food staples contain high levels of toxic metals, which means that many gluten-free eaters could face higher risks for cancer and other chronic illnesses.
    Moreover, the US studies both reveal that people who follow a gluten-free diet have twice as much arsenic in their urine as those who eat a non-gluten-free diet. They also have 70 per cent more mercury in their blood, along with high levels of other toxic metals, such as lead and cadmium. Clearly the report...

    Celiac.com 04/11/2019 - Dieting, a word commonly used by people who are in the process of consuming food in a regulated and monitored manner. We normally equate someone who is dieting to someone who wants to lose weight and restricts their food intake to achieve a desired outcome, for example to prevent certain diseases or deal with obesity. 
    For many reasons, the purpose of dieting has evolved. Currently there are many popular diet plans available, such as the gluten-free diet, keto diet, paleo diet and detox diet. But today we are only going to discuss the difference between two more widely used diets, which are the gluten-free and keto diets. 
    What is a gluten-free diet?
    A gluten-free diet is generally a diet that explicitly excludes gluten from meals. This d...

    Celiac.com 09/12/2019 (Originally published 04/05/2010) - All of us with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity share something in common: we started eating gluten free to improve and protect our health.  But many of us focus on gluten free and few or no other aspects of good nutrition and end up making mistakes with our diet that lead to unhealthy weight gain or other new health problems.  
    Some people can adopt the type of gluten-free diet that is commonly eaten and feel well.  But for most people the gluten-free diet is a great starting point but not an end-all.  It’s an eating plan that we can gradually adapt in individual ways to form the best diet for each of us.  If you want to eat gluten free for what it was meant for – promoting long-term good health – give your diet an up...
