    Yes. The only nutrition the muscles can absorb is protein. Muscles are meat, so if the muscles cannot absorb gluten, you can eat the meat.

    You would have no trouble from a wheat-fed beef unless you ate the cow's guts (ugh). I presume you don't plan to do this.

    Imadufus72 is confusing this with occasional passage of intact food proteins through breast milk. Rarely, infants can be so allergic to a food that the teiny amount that abosorbed intact into the blood stream will cause an allergic reaction. The digestion of wheat protein into amino acids and rebuilding them into cow muscle protein (beef) leaves no part of the original wheat. Just don't eat your beef bloody.

    Nor should you eat it on a hamburger bun.

    while a cow eats wheat, i do no longer think of the gluten can get into the cow's milk or meat. i think of it may be secure, as long as you're no longer lactose illiberal. i'm a Celiac and that i've got difficulty with cow's milk and cheese. i'm able to devour goat cheese devoid of any issues.

    I was wondering the same thing... i am gluten intolerant.

    A friend of mine had to stop breastfeeding her baby who turned out to be intolerant as the proteins weny thru her milk.

    I wonder about the cow milk too...?
