My own trial and errors have shown me that there is no safe amount of gluten. I'd much rather the FDA require specific labeling rather than allowing 20ppm to be sold as Gluten Free. Anything less is, given my experience, irresponsible - and benefiting the manufacturers more than the consumer. I agree with the above two commenters.

I have experimented with gluten-free products, and have decided to stay clear of them after experiencing some adverse reactions. Bottom line is that if you eat as close to nature as possible (i.e. whole foods), you will be much better off and feel better, too. It's best to stay away from grains as the body treats it as a sugar, which leads to other issues such as obesity, diabetes, and inflammation. Also, the human body hasn't evolved and adapted to be able to digest these grains. I have also read that there is no safe amount of gluten for celiacs.
