Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by dietary gluten — the storage proteins found in wheat, barley and rye — so the safe breakfast must be made from gluten‑free grains (e.g., rice, corn, quinoa, teff) or specially prepared gluten‑free products.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Gluten is present in wheat and wheat relatives (including spelt) and in barley and rye.
- People with coeliac disease must follow a strict gluten‑free diet to avoid intestinal damage and symptoms.
- Teff is a naturally gluten‑free grain commonly used to make traditional injera. Oats themselves are gluten‑free but are often contaminated with wheat/barley unless certified gluten‑free; many mueslis contain wheat or malted barley.

2) Step‑by‑step reasoning
- Examine Option a (Weet‑bix): Weet‑bix is a processed cereal made from wheat (and often contains malted barley) → contains gluten → not suitable.
- Option b (Spelt toast): Spelt is an ancient wheat species that contains gluten → not suitable.
- Option c (Muesli): Typical muesli mixes include oats and often wheat flakes or ingredients processed with gluten; oats may be cross‑contaminated unless certified gluten‑free → generally unsafe unless explicitly labeled gluten‑free (question gives no such label) → not suitable.
- Option d (Injera bread): Traditional injera is made from teff flour, a gluten‑free grain, so it is suitable for someone with coeliac disease (with the caveat that injera made with added wheat/barley would not be safe; here the standard traditional ingredient is teff).

3) Calculations
- No numerical calculations are required for this dietary selection question.

4) Why the correct answer is correct
- Injera made from teff contains no wheat, barley or rye proteins and therefore does not provide the gluten that triggers coeliac disease, making it the appropriate choice among the given options.

5) Why the other options are incorrect
- Weet‑bix: wheat (and likely barley malt) → contains gluten.
- Spelt toast: spelt is a form of wheat → contains gluten.
- Muesli: commonly contains wheat flakes or non‑certified oats → likely contains or is contaminated with gluten.

6) Conclusion
- The suitable breakfast choice for Francesca with coeliac disease is d. Injera bread, which matches the provided correct answer.
