According to research, a daily intake of 10 milligrams (mg) of gluten is considered a safe threshold for the vast majority of individuals with celiac disease. This tiny, almost imperceptible quantity of protein is often compared to a single crumb of bread, a shocking visual for those navigating a gluten-free lifestyle.
