Well, your "renowned" Celiac Specialist does pay attention to what others
have found. If this specialist is so out of touch I would question his
credentials. People that have studied this find otherwise. Some studies:

Axelsson I, Jacobsson I, Lindberg T, and Benediktsson B (1986)
Bovine lactoglobulin in human milk .Acta Paed Scand 75: 702-707.

Kilshaw PJ and Cant AJ (1984) The passage of maternal dietary
protein into human breast milk. Int Arch Allergy and Appl
mmunol 75: 8-15.

Stuart CA, Twiselton R, Nicholas M and Hide DW (1984) Passage
of cow's milk protein in breast milk. Clin Allergy 14:533-535.

Troncone R, Scarcella A, Donatiello A, Cannataro P, Tarabusco A and
Auricchio S (1987) passage of gliadin into human breast milk.
Acta paed Scand 76: 453-456.
