Inhaling gluten - Coeliac

My daughter has Coeliac disease. Is it ok for her to be in an environment where she is likely to inhale airborne (gluten containing) flour?
Google hasn’t really helped - mixed answers. From what I have seen as the nose is connected to the mouth/throat, inhaled gluten particles could potentially end up being swallowed.
Some say it’s fine though.
