I have been reading through a lot of these posts yesterday and today.   I have very few symptoms, I don't get extremely ill if I accidentally eat something with gluten in it so it is hard for me to know for sure if a restaurant, etc..... didn't prepare the food properly, therefore I am not sure if I am receiving additional damage to my intestines.  So on with my question.  My husband drinks beer (not gluten free) and yes I kiss him.  Some have posted that it's not a big deal and some have said it is.... Which is it?  I am trying to be totally gluten free (it's only been 2 months since diagnosis) so with conflicting posts I am just wondering......

To be a bit gross but - If he has gluten in his mouth, and gives you a peck on the cheek - fine.  But if he or you want a "deeper" kiss, whatever is in his mouth is in your mouth.  So, if you would not  drink the beer or eat the Whole wheat bread -then you have a problem.  

 

As for eating out - maybe don't for a couple of months?  Give your intestines a good chance to heal.  Even if you knew you got gluten, it would have the same effect.

When my husband drinks beer, I won't kiss him until he brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth out.  Even then, I wait a while otherwise it just FEELS risky... waiting is probably overkill.  ;)

Ok I think I understand the kissing part as far as waiting a few months.... I have a work trip planned in July and will be gone for 7 days.  There is a whole foods store near the hotel and I will get a cooler for the room but I am sure we will have to go out to eat once or twice with the big wigs.  I have done a lot of research and there are quite a few restaurants and bars with gluten free options. (some of these places have gluten free beer I have never heard of)

My husband will be fine with this but I am afraid we may forget from time to time until we get used to it.  We just made 6 years married and still kind of honeymooners! lol

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
