Tolerance for wheat is higher than milk in same child, but compared to other children with same allergens eliciting doses are much lower and instances of anaphylactic reactions requiring epinephrine are greater.
The form factor during encounter seems to matter. It's more often we come across large amounts of powdered wheat, barley with much smaller amounts of powdered milk a close second.
Gluten free labeling doesn't mean much in USA if you count on it blindly for two reasons (1) the demand for gluten free items driving marketing for such products is lifestyle choice under general health promotion (2) some labeled gluten free have caveat messages directed at individuals with celiac should not consume due to gross contamination.
