As for sensitivity, there are definitely those that are more sensitive than others. A few people that can die from a speck of gluten (I knew one such person), so even handling a dog food or dust from a dry food with gluten is dangerous for her, whereas others can tolerate exposure without such serious consequences and then those in between. Same for dogs. Lisa, until Kristen answers I believe that BRM does 50ppm. As for sensitivity, there are definitely those that are more sensitive than others.

No, definitely not very cheap ... but yes handy. Next question... is there a *limit* as to how much gluten a gluten-intolerant person or dog can handle? Or is the number "zero"? I noticed from the gluten testing sticks that it can test within "x" ppm... so was just wondering if a tiny amount triggers a gluten-sensitive sytem into overdrive or is that an individual thing? Some can handle a small amount and some can't handle any? Thanks Kristen! No, definitely not very cheap … but yes handy.

You can order them at www.ezgluten.com they are made by ELISA Tek. They are not too cheap, but especially handy! I once tested the supposedly safe takeout we were always eating and guess what--it contained gluten! Sometimes it's so hard to trace delayed reactions back to a specific food, so testing is a sure fire way to know! Thanks so much! Kristen author/co-founder www.GlutenFreeFox.com Hi Lisa!
