> Are you suggesting that if I eat some grass fed beef that hasn't been elisa tested, there's a good chance I'm eating gluten?

Yes, because it's been handled in a food chain that deals with a lot of wheat products.

> The elisa test is also flawed - there are situations in which it can't detect hydrolized gluten.

Yes, but it's the best available for wide-scale screening.

The standard is ten parts per million.

> You don't have to be 100% gluten free to derive benefits from it.

If you want to claim to be gluten free you do.
