Hi Dr. Murray,

I have a few questions that have been asked of me and wondered if you had
any answers for us. Sometimes I wonder where if celiac stay up all night
thinking up these questions. :)

1.  Does gluten on the skin (like in lotions) get absorb to the intestines
to cause a reaction?

2. Would a person with DH have a breakout if they were to put something
with gluten on their skin?

3.  Is there grain alcohol in alcohol prep pads?

4. If someone were to have a blood transfusion from a diagnosed celiac,
would the person receiving the blood have a reaction to gluten if they ate some?

4. Re: oral surgery--is their gluten in the packings or the dissolvable sutures?

These are actual questions!!  Your opinion would be helpful.
