Touching bread with bare hands?

[hayleighsato]

I care for a person who is no longer able to care for themselves, they are still sound of mind they just can't move around like they use to. I create their meals every day I am a Celiac I was diagnosed years ago as a child and I don't eat any kind of gluten haven't for years. But I do touch it, I make sandwiches everyday for said person with my bare hands, I am not sure if its necessary I wear gloves as I do wash my hands before and after. I do have stomach problems and a part of me wonders if I am somehow taking in gluten even though I am not consuming it.   Also person refuses anything gluten free, she doesn't like gluten free anything.  Any thoughts? Or suggestions? Thanks for reading.

Have you tried wearing nitril gloves while making gluten-containing dishes for this person?

My daughter has celiacs. I’m fortunate that our home is large enough to have space to keep all of her kitchen equipment and dishes separate. I would never touch gluten containing foods and then hers. You should neither! You absorb it through your skin, inhale it if you work with wheat flour or drywall. There’s a reason there are gluten-free cosmetics and skincare products. I, for example, am deathly allergic to penicillin and just touching it puts me in shock. Please, protect yourself! Gluten damage compounds. You may not react now but eventually there will be enough buildup to cause a reaction. Please! Use Gloves!!!

I think that for the vast majority of those with celiac disease washing your hands after touching bread should be enough to keep you safe. There are some who are super sensitive that may disagree, but if you do have concerns go with @trents's suggestion and use gloves.
