For those you of who are new to our List, there is an excellent
discussion by the cel-pro experts on the maximum amount of gluten which
can be consumed per day by a celiac without danger.  The bottom line is
that there is no easy answer.  Many feel that 10 mg per day is safe,
100 mg per day is not.  10 mg per day is about one-50th of a slice of
bread, and remember that you may be picking up milligrams without
realizing it in supposedly-GF foods via cross-contamination.
