The following is not intended to condone eating gluten, merely to elicit
some perspective as each of us confronts the ambiguities of food labeling
and of our own unknown intestinal sensitivity.
It would be helpful to know relative percentage "ballparks" of (bad)
gluten content for various food "ingredients" as well as for the foods
themselves. Can anyone put items such as (barley) malt, wheat flour,
(barley) HVP, grain vinegar(upper limit?). distilled grain alcohol (upper
limit?), etc. into 2 or 3 categories differing by a factor of 10
HIGH: 10 - 100%
MEDIUM: 1 - 10%
LOW: 0.1 - 1.0%
(If none fall in HIGH, then merely shift all ranges down by 10).
What is a ballpark gluten percentage for a typical non-gluten free diet?
Meaning as well how many grams (or fractions thereof)?
Risk ballparks? to follow.
