Mushrooms do not contain gluten and do not pass gluten over as a cross-contaminant.

Gliadin/glutenin are proteins found in wheat ,rye, barley and some react to oats. Gliadin/glutenin can be carried over when something like xanthan gum is grown on wheat.

Beta glucan is a type of soluble fibre, gluten is a protein molecule so completely different. Mushrooms are safe to eat, even if grown in wheat they would not uptake the gluten so providing you wash them well you will not ingest gluten.

Some coeliacs (not me, so I'm not an expert) find they need the extra-restrictive (yay!) FODMAP diet which rules out mushrooms. If you think you're reacting to them, this may be a good question for your GP (if they're clued-up) or nutritionist (likewise).

Not what you're looking for?
