    Australia's definition of "gluten free" is no detectable gluten ie 3ppm, which the lowest that they can test for.. Above that, it is just "gluten". As for gluten-free on prescription: as far as I can work out, the UK and Italy are the only ones that subsidize gluten-free products .. so don't complain too loudly. We pay full price for bread, bread...

    The "same" products vary greatly from country to country due to manufacturers using the most common local ingredients in their products. AND, a "common" item in one country, can be unknown, or a speciality item in another. Ask about ingredient in local products closer to home ..

    Cancer of the small intestine is as rare in diagnosed coeliacs as it is in the general population #. Before the small intestines has healed, there exists a slightly higher potential to develop cancer of the small intestine - they have always known that ..

    I'm a member of a number of baking industry-based forums, and from what I can see, I would say the the tapioca is a modified starch like Expandex Modified Tapioca Starch. The rice flour, they emphasize, is not as gritty as the current stock, but any finely-milled asian rice flour is not gritty.

Even if the product itself is gluten-free, unless...
