I make gluten foods for my son but gluten-free only for me. Haven't had any problems with cross contamination.

Do you use non-gluten-free flour? I was a little worried about it "settling" around the kitchen.

I do, although not very often... While you're cooking you just have to be very careful to not touch your face and to wash your hands often.

Anything that involves gluten flour gets used in one area only and cleaned good after. Wash my hands after using it too. So far so good.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I don't want my poor husband to suffer *too* much. If left to his own devices the poor guy would be living on subway and canned tuna (he's not terribly keen on eating gluten-free foods). ;)

I bake ALL the time... my husband and sons and daughter would be SO upset if I didn't!! I made 300 mini french silk pies on Friday for my sons graduation ~ you just have to not breathe in the flour and make sure you wash up well!! I have never had a problem with it. :) Of course, when I bake gluten-free things for me... everyone knows that it is "hands off!!!!" Ha!

Happy baking!!! :)

I eliminated ALL non-gluten-free flours from my kitchen but we buy gluten items for the rest of the family (of 5) occasionally (such as bread, box mac & cheese, frozen pizza - homemade we use my crust, etc.) and I clean, clean, clean, and lecture the kids and husband if I see them just dusting their hands off - spreading those crumbs all over...they need to wash all those gluten crumbs down the drain!!!

Wheat flours stay in the air for such a long time. It would be very hard to cook gluteny foods without some sort of contamination in your house.

Just the whirr of the mixer can send flour into the air. :blink:

Also just being around them, they can be breathed in. Your nostrils lead to your throat and down your throat goes the flour that was in the air. :(

There are too many risks for me to cook with flour and such in my house!! I would rather find an alternative that is gluten free than risk being sick.

I guess if you were really anxious about it, you could go to your local hardware store and get a face mask ~ like you would wear when sanding sheetrock mud, etc. THEN you wouldn't breathe any flour in. :) I just know that my family would feel TOTALLY punished if I didn't bake for them. I am known throughout the town for my cookies & pies! My two sons put in their requests, and I can't imagine not making them... when they are gone, there are few areas where they still need their Mom!! :D

Can't say I ever had a problem breathing flour. I don't do much baking with it and am very careful with it so it may never have been enough to set me off. If you are super sensitive a good particle mask would be a good idea.

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By trents · Posted

      @LynnM, when you say, "today, his numbers were high", what numbers do you refer to? Are you speaking of celiac antibody scores? Can you be more specific and can you post the test names, the numbers and the reference ranges for the tests? So, I am understanding you to say that topical exposure to gluten doesn't cause him GI reactions but ingestion of gluten does but at the same time you are attributing the "high numbers" to the topical exposure?

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had blood work and my hemoglobin, hematocrit, protein and alkaline phosphatase were all low. They have never been low in the past but since august of last year I have been on the in and off gluten rollercoaster as I mentioned in previous posts. Should I be concerned with these new findings? I am worried I have made myself really sick and done damage or something this past year

      Thank you Scott. My son doesn't have a reaction topically, only when ingested. Interestingly though, the doc told us the face cream getting gluten into his bloodstream doesn't do the damage akin to when gluten is ingested. He had no reaction when using the face cream, it only presented in blood-work. I'm hopeful from all the comments today and will wait for the GI doc to reply. If he is cleared to use it, I will encourage SHIELD to get a gluten-free certification

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great that you’re taking the time to research products carefully for your son with celiac disease—especially since accidental gluten exposure through skincare can be a real concern for sensitive individuals. Based on the ingredient lists you’ve shared, none of the products appear to contain obvious sources of gluten like wheat, barley, or rye derivatives. Ingredients like glycerin and tocopherols (not listed here but often a concern) can sometimes be derived from wheat, but many manufacturers use plant-based or synthetic sources. SHIELD’s transparency and willingness to share their full ingredient list is a good sign, and their note about not intentionally adding gluten is reassuring. Still, because ingredient sourcing can vary and sensitivities differ from person to person, it’s wise that you’ve reached out to your GI specialist to be sure these products are safe for your son’s specific needs. In the meantime, if you do try any of the products, consider patch-testing them first and watching closely for any signs of skin irritation or reactions. PS - Most people with celiac disease won't react to skin products that may contain gluten, but I still recommend finding gluten-free products.

      Greetings Trents and Scott. This is the first time I'm posting here so I apologize in advance if I'm not replying properly. My 13 YO was diagnosed at age 5 and once gluten was removed from his diet, he grew 3" in a year, skin became much better and dark circles around his eyes disappeared. Today his numbers were very high and our new dietician discovered his face cream (Clinique dramatically different lotion) contained gluten. My fault for not checking.    His acne really has only just started and he's using OCT gluten-free products but the SHIELD is nothing short of miraculous for my 16 YO son and the 13 YO is eager to start. I will await his dietician's reply or google each ingredient.    I don't want to put him on that Rx as it's not that bad and isn't painful either. Just a boy starting 8th grade and doesn't want bad acne.    When I hear back I will circle back.
