                                For individuals with celiac disease, even trace amounts of gluten can trigger an immune response, with some research indicating that as little as 10 milligrams of daily gluten could cause intestinal mucosal abnormalities. This critical threshold helps clarify exactly how much gluten does it take to cause damage and why strict avoidance is necessary.
