That is the old Codex - www.codexalimentarius.net is very slow about updating their website. This just was finalized, if the information is correct, in July 2008.

I guess I was really wondering how I will know when the new labeling will take effect?

New 20ppm Codex Alimentarius I have been reading that the New Codex Alimentarius was finally approved this year and the limit for the "Gluten Free" Label was changed from 200 ppm to 20 ppm. Is there any way to tell if what you are buying "Gluten Free" is 20 ppm or 200 ppm?

I was a Celiac Mental Patient! You aren't alone! Dear Meredith, What you see and what he sees are two different things. I can trace the Celiac through my grandfather and mother. But it effects people differently. For most of my adult life, my life was an emotional roller coaster. All my life people have said I was a loving, reasonable, caring...

I know that my good friend, one of the best surgeons in the Philippines, refuses to do Gastric Bypass Surgery. He could make a lot of money if he would change his mind, but he is one of those doctors that cares about his patients. He says that people lose weight because they are starving to death and end up with worse problems than if they did nothing....

Celiac Society - Philippines, Now forming! We realize that as more and more wheat and wheat by-products are being dumped into the Philippine Market - more and more Filipinos are suffering from Celiac or D.H. or other gluten related illnesses. Filipinos were at one time considered to be Celiac free. However it is proven that the farther a Filipino gets...

Thanks! This is not a law yet and when I read it is seemed more like a political smoke screen rather than a law. I am with a group that is organizing a Celiac Society in the Philippines. I am an American with Celiac bad (celiac disease/DH) and my best friend's son is also very gluten reactive. The situation here is so bad that have given up hope for a...

From the point of view of a person who suffers from Celiac or D.H. or other gluten related problem, what country had the best labeling laws. I hear the USA law being worked on has "20 parts per million" as "Gluten Free" but a number of people say they react to 20 ppm Australia, if I got it right, says either "5 parts per million" or "no detectable gluten...

Does anyone know where I can get an electric copy of this law? I would really like to post in on the new CELIAC SOCIETY ~ Philippines Website! If you know where this law is posted on the Internet, or if you have knowledge if this is a good or bad law, please comment! Thanks! Philippine Congress (House Bill 03345) NO. HB03345 FULL TITLE...

I went to complete raw food / live food (rabbit food?) and that proved everything to me! I feel like a gluten magnet! Standing on a sidewalk near one of the many open air bakeshops is enough to cause me a reaction! There is flour in the air! (And on my hair and hands too!) I use the Bragg Liquid Aminos (a soy sauce taste imported from the states) with...

Dear Sally, Don't feel like you are alone, you aren't! I have Both Celiac Disease and Dermatitis Herpetiformis (celiac disease/DH), that went untreated and suffering for more than three decades (plenty of hospital time!). I live in Talisay City, Cebu (Philippines for the rest of the readers) and what I have learned since it was discovered has really...
