I would be interested in learning how the amount of 0.02 g/kg was arrived at. I would also like to point out that, to the best of my knowledge, such an extremely small amount of gluten has never been demonstrated in any scientific way to be harmful to celiac patients. To put this quantity in other ways, it is 0.002% and a normal serving of cereal, say 50 g, would have only 1 mg of gluten in it at the 0.02 g/kg level. I am not saying that this low level isn't harmful, particularly for someone in a debilitated state. The question has never been addressed adequately in a scientific way. I say, on the other hand, there is a possibility (my educated guess based on what I think is a reasonably good knowledge of what testing has been done) that for the average celiac, such a small amount is not harmful. For example, in the recently published study on oats (Finnish study), the patients were fed a mixture of oats and wheat starch. Accordingly, they were probably ingesting more than 0.02 g/kg of gluten (from the wheat starch, which apparently contained 0.74 mg of gluten per gram of starch). Recovering celiac patients continued to recover (Janatuinin et al. NEJM 1995: "We found that the use of oats by patients with celiac disease as part of a gluten-free diet had no unfavorable effects on adult patients in remission and did not prevent symptomatic and mucosal healing in patients with newly diagnosed disease.")
