Skin Contamination and the Celiac
javadesigner commented on Yvonne (Vonnie) Mostat, RN's article in Summer 2012 Issue
That's a very good question. I don't know it's psychosomatic or not. Aroma by itself isn't going to cause a reaction. But maybe there are microscopic particles of wheat etc in the air near the bakery, so maybe if you smell aroma, that is corelated with inhaling/ingesting some wheat particles. -

This is how misinformation is spread. I'm male, have had dermatitis herpetiformis since 27 (the classic late twenties presentation in males) and gluten free for 2 decades. You cannot absort gluten through the skin. Anything inside/near mouth (lipstick, toothpaste) you can absorb of course. But on the skip (soap, cosmetics, etc) cannot be asborbed...
