Celiac Disease Future: A Device that Detects Gluten in Food?

Yes, yes, yes!! This is wonderful. I feel a sense of relief already at being able to tell if my food is safe to eat, especially when I am away from home. I hope we will be able to have the sensor VERY soon!!!

I'd buy one of these! I don't eat out that often, but this would be really handy to have. I'd also bring it to my in-laws, as I swear they are trying to kill me with holiday dinners. But I could see a lot of use for this - people who travel a lot, for instance, would really benefit from this device. Great idea.

I would buy one as long as the price was reasonable. Use it as a double check especially when eating out.

Great idea, I would love to have one if not too expensive. The swab idea above also sounds good, maybe something like a treated 'Qtip' that one could buy by the 50s or more.

Yes, this would be great, especially in restaurants. Many people now understand what the word gluten means but still have little knowledge of cross contamination.

Yes, if it is reasonably priced -- my gluten-free budget is a huge part of our overall budget. This device would be so terrific to have in a restaurant setting, especially, say, a Chinese place where they vigorously nod their heads when asked if items are gluten-free. Hey, they use soy in lots of ways.

I see this as a most welcome and useful tool! Yes, I would buy it without hesitation. There is way too much guesswork in the gluten-sensitive world, and this would offer some peace of mind and much needed added safety with all the products that leave you in doubt. I'm wondering if this would work on non-food products like toothpaste or lipstick. Whatever it works on, I'm for it!

Fantastic idea. I believe it would make my life much easier!

All the foods that tout Gluten Free on the packaging and then the fine print says "produced in a facility that uses wheat...". I almost exclusively eat Certified Gluten-Free foods now. I would love to have a tester for these products and cross-contamination issues within my own kitchen. I would even sell these in my massage clinic. My clients are constantly asking about celiac disease.

Yes, it would make life so much easier. I hope this is available very soon.

I would love to have one. It needs to be small enough to carry with me. The sensor would make traveling soooo much easier!

This tool would go a long way to ease my anxiety when I choose to eat something that appears to be gluten-free - such that manufacturer labeling is not always accurate and well-meaning friends and relatives may miss a step in avoiding cross contamination.
