Tag: Gluten tolerance

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), foods labeled 'gluten-free' must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, a level considered safe for most people with celiac disease. While this provides a clear benchmark for labeled products, the question of how much gluten is okay depends entirely on an individual's health status, with zero tolerance being the reality for some and moderate amounts being acceptable for others.

According to research published in *Gastrointestinal Disorders*, a daily gluten intake of less than 10 mg is considered safe for the majority of celiac patients, but individual sensitivity varies. Understanding how much gluten is safe per day depends entirely on an individual's unique health profile and diagnosis.

According to Beyond Celiac, an estimated 6% of the U.S. population has a non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). For those affected, the question, 'Can you regain gluten tolerance?' is a complex one with answers that depend heavily on the underlying condition. Unlike NCGS, a lifelong autoimmune disease like Celiac disease requires permanent gluten avoidance.
