Canker sores
Canker sores can definitely be frustrating, especially when you're already managing a strict gluten-free lifestyle and have been diagnosed with celiac disease for so long. While these painful mouth ulcers aren’t exclusive to celiac disease, they can be linked to nutritional deficiencies—particularly of iron, folate, or vitamin B12 (as @trents mentioned )—w...- 1

@Dora77, You shouldn't worry about getting glutened through your skin. You would have to touch a gluten infested doorknob and then put your hand in your mouth. I'd be more concerned with your mom's heating up gluten bread in the oven and boiling gluten noodles. These methods cause particles of gluten to become airborne which would then enter...- asymtomatic

I do not have evidence other than anecdotal but I am certain when I have gotten these it's the result of eating gluten (back when I did). I don't get them now that I don't eat gluten. -

What really bothers me is if worrying about getting cc‘d from touching the same door knob as others touched is valid. Seems like an extremely unlikely way to get glutened but i read people saying that. If thats true then theres realistically zero chance i dont get cc‘d in a non gluten-free household unless i Cook Everything myself and wash my han...- asymtomatic

Canker sores can definitely be frustrating, especially when you're already managing a strict gluten-free lifestyle and have been diagnosed with celiac disease for so long. While these painful mouth ulcers aren’t exclusive to celiac disease, they can be linked to nutritional deficiencies—particularly of iron, folate, or vitamin B12 (as @trents mentioned )—which are common in people with celiac, even those who are very careful with their diet. Ongoing fatigue and aches might also suggest that your body isn’t fully absorbing nutrients or that there’s some underlying inflammation. It could be helpful to get bloodwork done to check for these deficiencies, and possibly even a full... -

@Dora77, You shouldn't worry about getting glutened through your skin. You would have to touch a gluten infested doorknob and then put your hand in your mouth. I'd be more concerned with your mom's heating up gluten bread in the oven and boiling gluten noodles. These methods cause particles of gluten to become airborne which would then enter your nose and be swallowed, going into your digestive tract. I have to avoid the bakery aisle at the grocery store for this reason. An M95 mask helps. If you get nutritional deficiencies corrected, your immune system will calm down and be less reactive to gluten expose. Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system. Thiamine and Niacin... -

Welcome to the forum, @Mrs. Cedrone! Among the various causes for canker sores, are "Nutritional problems like too little vitamin B12, zinc, folic acid, or iron" https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/canker-sores Could you be deficient on something?
