Couple Of Questions

Hey guys I was just wondering if we're affected when say our hands are dipped in a bucket of gluten? Or say a bucket of beer (which has gluten in it?)

Does this affect the intestines? Or is it only when we drink/eat it?

Might be a dumb question but I wasn't sure.

Thanks

It will affect you, think of this, you may not wash your hands and then eat something else....gluten got into your mouth even if you did not think it did. It may cause a rash, some people do not have intestional symptoms but get rash/hives/dry itchy skin.

Bottom line it is not a good idea.

It has only affected me if I don't wash it off, then put my hands in my mouth (like eating something afterwards). My children are not completely gluten free (although they do eat some of "my" foods), which means that I have had to become hyper vigilant when preparing their food for them. But as long as I wash my hands each time I touch something with gluten, I've been okay.

Some people do have a sensitivity by skin contact, which causes a rash if they touch gluten - but I'm not sure if washing your hands right away would keep that from happening or not.

I carry a small pack of baby wipes with me so that if I can't wash my hands thoroughly right away, at least I can do my best to wipe them. So far this has worked for me..

It won't affect your intestines unless you don't wash your hands before eating.

If it were flour you dipped your hands in, it can become airborn and get into your throat, thus your intestines. I avoid being around flour.

If you have DH it might be more of a concern, but something on your hands is not a problem as long as you don't get it in your mouth.

Cool thanks. I always wash my hands before I eat.

      I do not have evidence other than anecdotal but I am certain when I have gotten these it's the result of eating gluten (back when I did).  I don't get them now that I don't eat gluten.

      What really bothers me is if worrying about getting cc‘d from touching the same door knob as others touched is valid. Seems like an extremely unlikely way to get glutened but i read people saying that.    If thats true then theres realistically zero chance i dont get cc‘d in a non gluten-free household unless i Cook Everything myself and wash my hands multiple times in between and store all of my stuff separately

      Welcome to the forum, @Mrs. Cedrone! Among the various causes for canker sores, are "Nutritional problems like too little vitamin B12, zinc, folic acid, or iron" https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/canker-sores Could you be deficient on something?

      I have been a diagnosed Celiac for over 30 years.  If I even get any type of cross contamination I end up in the hospital.  Recently I have been getting "cankers".  I am assuming that this is a result from something I am eating.  any insight would be greatly appreciated.  I follow an extremely strike diet as result and this is something new that has popped up.  I still get very ache sometimes and fatigued.  Thank you.

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
