5. Does school have to provide a gluten free lunch? Yes. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, schools are required to provide students with Celiac disease and other food allergies safe and nutritious food options. However, they are not required to provide meals equivalent to those served to other students.
6. Is it safe to work in a bagel or bakery, knowing I can not eat anything? Well, breathing in gluten is similar to ingesting it. Although flour can not be absorbed through the skin, you can breathe it in. Working at either of these, unless gluten free is not recommended for people with Celiac disease.
7. Can I still drink coffee and eat corn on a gluten free diet? Coffee and corn are both gluten free. Both are safe for people with Celiac disease.
8. Are there any products to help those with Celiac digest gluten? No there is nothing out there at this time, other than a gluten free diet.
9. Do I have to use special soaps, shampoos and lotions? While all of these are available gluten free the answer is no. Gluten cannot be absorbed through your scalp or skin. Lipstick and lip products however should be gluten free.
