It is can be retreived by sending an email to [log in to unmask] with the body GET CELIAC MXGLUTEN One study did show troubling changes in the intestines of some celiacs on 100 milligrams of gluten per day. This is equivalent to one-500th of a slice of bread. Most of the cel-pro experts felt comfortable that 10 milligrams per day would be OK, but this was based on incidental observations rather than a controlled study. Ten milligrams would be many orders of magnitude more than "a few molecules". Bill Elkus Los Angeles
