if you breath in the aroma from gluten foods - can that make you sick?

No.  But if you hang out in a bakery for a long period of time, then maybe yes.  Some people report feeling ill by smelling bread, but that might be psychosomatic.  I know just shooting past the flour packages in the grocery store makes me nervous even though I know that my chances of getting a gluten exposure are slim to none.  My brain  is  like the character  robot from the  1960’s classic, Lost in Space: “Danger, Will Robinson!” 
 

With the pandemic, more of us are careful about what we touch or breathe.   I guess there is a silver lining in every cloud.

No, but airborne flour can if you are breathing that in...eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to the same place.

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are...
