Is The Amount Of Gluten Vs Nutritional Intake Relative?

Hi, I'm new to this coeliac/celiac thing having been diagnosed just a few days ago. Unlike your average celiac, I don't really have any concrete symptoms - after eating gluten I don't get sick, get a sore stomach, get diarrhea etc. So my main reason for staying off gluten is to absorb nutrients.

My query is, do villi swell up the same amount regardless of how much gluten you have or is it relative - the more gluten you have; the more flattened the villi.

The way I've understood it over the years, from various doctors is ... any gluten you eat, no matter how small will damage the intestine and put you at a much higher risk of cancer and other auto immune diseases.

As I understand it, there have been biopsy proven studies of damage to the villi from as little as 10mg of gluten. (For comparison, a slice of your average, wheat-based, bread would have about three hundred times that amount.) The amount of damage is probably going to go up (more reagents in the chemical pot) at the really really low levels, but once you've eaten even as much as a slice of bread, you're way past the "does it make a difference" line anyway.

      Gluten free Yogurt suggest

      I would not think store bought yogurt would contain gluten unless it possibly could be through an added flavoring or coloring ingredient. Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free.

      FDA looking for input on Celiac Gluten sensitivity labeling PLEASE READ and submit your suggestions

      I believe the GFCO does use a common logo for certified gluten free products (those containing not more that 10ppm of gluten) but nothing universal yet from the FDA for standard gluten free products (those containing not more that 20ppm).

      Gluten free Yogurt suggest

      I have a One Pot and decided to start using it one day. I was hesitant at first making my own yogurt, but was surprised at how easy it was. I like mine better too.

      Because I spend so much time reading every word on all food packaging, I personally would greatly appreciate it if there was one common gluten-free symbol written in large-enough text, and always located in the same place. That alone will make shopping easier and faster. I dread having to buy packaged food. Thank you very much for asking,

Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free.  Keep in mind that some companies are capitalizing on people's fears and ignorance (nothing personal intended) by labeling foods "gluten free" that are just that way by the nature of what they are. They are hoping to create a marketing edge over their competitors by adding "gluten free" because they know it may catch attention of those new to the celiac/gluten sensitivity experience without having to cost them anything in the way of changing their manufacturing process or doing testing.
