Kitchen Sink CC?

Hello

Is it possible to get cross contamination from the kitchen sink? My partner rarely eats gluten but sometimes washes dishes with gluten on them in the sink, but never with my dishes. I always do mine separate with a separate sponge/water/etc. The drying towel is shared though. 

Ate something during the first week of January and I've been sick since. My bathroom hasn't been normal the entire time so I'm wondering if I'm being contaminated somehow. 

Exhausted.

This is not likely at all from the kitchen sink. I suggest to either look for other areas where contamination could happen or your symptoms might not be related to contamination but something else.

I agree with @docaz , highly unlikely to get cross contamination from washing dishes in the same sink. 

Keep in mind that no every reaction you have is from gluten. Many celiacs have issues with other foods that don't contain gluten or perhaps if it's gluten it is another source. Common problem foods for celiacs seem to be oats,corn and dairy.

My husband and I share a sink for washing dishes, although I use my own dish brush and dish towel.  No problems here.

Thanks everyone. I'm thinking I'm really sensitive to glutamate as well, and that my GABA/Glutamate balance is all over the place too. 

My gut and brain just won't get along...

      Thankfully those are normal. B12 was on the low end of the normal range when I first got diagnosed. When I last got it checked, it had come up a lot (455 last time checked).

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  I didn't notice any gluten ingredients in Kirkland Almond non-dairy beverage, however it does contain Locust Bean Gum. Some gums may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:

      Have you had B12 levels checked?

      For the past few months, I've been taking several supplements (a multi-vitamin, an iron supplement, a vitamin C supplement, and a magnesium supplement), all of which state that they are gluten free on the label.

      Maltodextrin is typically made from corn.
