My mother has celiac disease and is strictly on a gluten-free diet, yet she still has some stomach issues.

I can’t find any scientific articles to test this theory out, but what I do find is many people online who claim switching over from processed coffee grounds to coffee beans has significantly helped them. I know coffee itself is gluten free but is there any truth to this?

Understanding gluten levels
I work for a frozen pizza manufacturing company. We currently process gluten-free pizzas using crusts sourced from approved suppliers. We understand the gluten level limits specified under FDA (<20 ppm) and our current gluten-free certification (<10 ppm). As we look to expand our gluten-free production capabilities. Are there resources or studies available that show statistical data on gluten levels to consider for most severe cases (e.g. 20 ppm versus 10 ppm or 5 ppm)?
