Dunno about a mask, I guess you could, but if you do not not and your not careful you will inhale some flour. Thats fairly normal. Not to mention flour has a tendency to cover everything making CC for anything else you make a higher chance. I would recomend you go pick up a cake and not worry about it or risk it. :)

Vincent is right about the flour getting into the air and contaminating every surface it falls on. This is just my opinion, but if I had to use flour, I would use a mask or even a bandana or something to keep the dust from being inhaled.

hmmm. too risky to me, then I'd be mad because I couldn't eat it, SOOOOO sneaky person that I am, I would just make a yummy gluten free cake (I swear Pamela's chocolate brownie mix makes an AWESOME cake that even non celiacs won't be able to resist!) and just not tell people that it is gluten free... Phooey on them. They don't need to eat gluten anyway! Let them eat cake! But let it be gluten free!

Use a mask!!!! You can get 3M brand masks at the hardware store that filter out down to microparticles, I think. There was a thread earlier about a woman's husband who is a manager at Chick-fil-A, and when he is in the back helping, flour is flying around everywhere -- then he gets VERY sick. Good luck, and please take care of yourself . . . Lynne

If I was too tired to cook I would take Vincent's suggestion and go buy one. Otherwise I would do as Nini suggested bake a gluten free cake. I had a gluten-free cake for my birthday and it was so good the gluttons who could eat gluten tried to eat it all. The recipe was from "Wheat-Free, Gluten-Free Cookbook for Kids and Busy Adults" by Connie Sarros.

Harvest Muffins page 51. It's good as muffins and as a cake. We used a bundt cake pan.

I was wondering how far we needed to go with avoiding gluten too. I got a high the other day when I walked through the bakery section at Publix after they had just pulled all of the fresh baked breads out of the ovens. I stood there for a minute, getting my gluten / yeast fix, but then figured I had better leave if I was that overwhelmed by the aroma. Wearing a mask in Publix is out of the question. LOL

I am careful when I cook with wheat for my daughter, but I'm concerned about the CC too.

Good one Nini - and so true. As we speak my hubby (gluten glutton) is eating my Panda Puffs!

Wear a mask and gloves. However, I would make a gluten-free cake and not tell anyone it is gluten-free. Why endanger your health and if gluten-free is good enough for you then it is good enough for everyone else.

There is one very good reason NOT to make a gluten-free cake in secret... some ppl are alergic to stuff like RICE and since a gluten-free cake would have ingredents like RICE in it that would not be in a normal cake, it could be dangerous to serve it since no one outside of the gluten-free world would consider rice in a "normal" cake as much of a possiblity.

Just somthing for you to think about. :)

I agree, I agree!!

If you need a gluten cake, just go buy one. It will be much easier, and less risky, all the way around.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
