symptomatic ?

Hello , I would like to know what happens to people living or working in a industry or living with people that are non celiac or allergy Pron or anaphylaxis.    what are the symptoms and have you reached neurological symptoms during Airbourne exposure or hours later. persistent just ptsd related or unknown as its usually only high inflammation in the body when consumed with Vegas nerve symptoms of ingested or neuroglial of ingestion of inhalation accidently as my doctor has given me the ok to work but then my boss has let me go for a focal seizure as  Allery or ptsd unsure  any Insite of what someone else has gone through I was diagnosed when I was 27 so gluten free for the rest of my life but my family are not . ?

Living or working in environments where gluten exposure is a constant risk can be incredibly challenging, especially when neurological symptoms are involved. For those with celiac disease or severe gluten-related disorders, airborne gluten (like flour dust in kitchens or shared workspaces) can trigger indirect exposure through inhalation or cross-contact, though true celiac reactions typically require ingestion. However, non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or wheat allergy can sometimes cause airborne-triggered respiratory or neurological symptoms (e.g., headaches, brain fog, or even seizure-like episodes in rare cases).

Your focal seizure could stem from chronic inflammation, vagus nerve irritation, or neuroglial activation if accidental ingestion occurred—but it’s also worth exploring PTSD-related responses if anxiety around exposure is severe. Many with celiac report delayed neurological symptoms (hours to days later), making it hard to pinpoint triggers. Since your family isn’t gluten-free, shared kitchens may pose risks (e.g., crumbs, toaster use, or cookware residue).

Suggestions:

• Workplace Safety: If airborne flour was a factor, request accommodations (e.g., ventilation, PPE) under disability protections—though proving causality is tough.
• Medical Follow-Up: Push for neurological testing (EEG, MRI) to rule out other causes, and consider a gluten-free household trial to see if symptoms improve.

It’s unfair you were let go without clearer answers. Keep documenting symptoms and exposures.
