Breathing In Boiling Gluten

[SuperMolly]

This may be stupid, but is it possible to get sick from breathing in the steam from boiling gluten?

Last night I got sick and I am sure I did not consume any gluten. My kids were making Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and I was near the stove as the noodles were cooking. Could that have made me sick?

Another time I was at a friend's house and as they were boiling brats in beer I began feeling sick. Do you think this is coincidence or am I right to tie it to breathing gluten steam? I know I can't breathe wheat flour, but has anyone else experienced getting sick from wheat steam?

All I can really say is that your body seems to be telling you that it can. Could there also have been CC issues in both cases with folks handling the gluten stuff and then contaminating the areas? Perhaps.

Yes - I was at a club dinner and there was a big pot of boiling spaghetti in the next room. I rapidly developed brain fog and left but had a miserable night.

Yes. The first few months I was gluten free I made regular spaghetti for my husband and I felt sick even though I didn't eat the spaghetti. My home is gluten free now because I'm so sensitive.

It doesn't affect me at all.
