**PLEASE READ in regards to the discussion about Cross-Contamination:
The answer was not put into context properly.
Cross-contamination and accidental gluten intake CAN damage the small intestine. However, the amount of damage depends on the AMOUNT of gluten consumed.
50mg or 1/100th of a slice of bread can cause damage to the small intestine.
A few crumbs can damage the small intestine however, it will not severely wipe out the whole lining of the small intestine (which clients often panic about) if it is only a once off cross-contamination occasion.
Long-term ongoing cross-contamination will result in more damage to the lining of the small intestine and long-term complications.
