COULD THERE BE GLUTEN IN CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS.

As I was cleaning the floors after the construction guys left today, I started to feel worse. 
A light bulb went off in my mind:  

     COULD THERE BE GLUTEN IN CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS. 

  Answer: Absolutely, Yes, Of Course, Possibly, Why Not

I did a little digging and found a variety of articles about this:

Wheat flour is sometimes used in the plaster,plaster walls, drywall, glues of all kinds, chalk type products, to name a few. The biggest issue is the plaster dust that lingers in the air for a long time and can travel all over the house. 

Plaster wall may contain gluten.

These are 3 of the websites I visited:
 
Synkro Niciti is an artist website. Author Kat McDaniel wrote, Gluten Sentsivity for Construction Workers, Artists and Children: Building and Craft Materials, which details issues about how she was effected by construction in her home. This article had solid research and facts about various construction materials.

Green Builder Elements explores "green" ways to create building supplies. The article, How To Plaster Walls: Natural Clay Plaster Finishes, suggests, "Additional additives such as wheat paste help increase durability and stickiness." 

Celiac.Com: Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Forum has an ongoing thread about how plaster dust has effect people with DH(dermatitis herpetiformis) and Celiac Disease. 

I would like to hear from those of you out there who have had experiences with construction materials. I look forward to hearing from you.
