Best Answer

Celiac disease is caused by a reaction to gliadin, a gluten protein found in wheat (and similar proteins of the tribe Triticeae which includes other cultivars such as barley and rye).

PURE coconut oil will not contain any gliadin and thus should be safe for celiacs to eat.

What are your chances of getting celiac disease when your dad has it but your mother doesnt?

I have done some research on this myself and have learned that if the mother has Celiac the child is more likely to get it then if the dad does. But on average with the mother, the child would have a 20-35% chance of inheriting it. With the father it is far less likely at 5-10% chance. There are many studies that have shown that breast feeding and introducing gluten (baby formulas) to a child at the age of 6-9 months old instead of earlier on can help reduce the risk of developing celiac disease. This is just from research I have done so I hope it helped!
