Kissing someone drinking beer

I'm newly diagnosed with Celiac and i have zero symptoms except dermatitis - and now starting to develop a few other symptoms but nothing like the dermatitis.  Having said that, I'm being SUPER CONSCIOUS of eliminating all gluten but my friends ask if I kiss someone that is drinking beer is that considered "cross-contamination" and could cause me to obtain gluten by kissing?  What's your thoughts?

I make sure I don't kiss my S.O. Unless he's brushed his teeth. Food from his glutinous meals could cross contaminate me. I don't share straws or drinks with anyone eating or drinking gluten. I'm extremely paranoid about being glutened and I'm pretty sensitive to it so it's best to be on the safe side.

I second that, no kissing until teeth are brushed with gluten free toothpaste and mouthwash. Also if kissing a woman make sure lipstick, gloss, balm are gluten free. My S.O. treats it like a severe food allergy and our home is gluten free.

Yeah this is a common issue it was discussed you should not kiss anyone that has eaten gluten in 24-36hours. I forgot where the article on this was but I was thinking there was some thing from a study done. -_-  I do not think brushing would be enough. I would also be afraid of reintroduction of gluten to the mouth with a contaminated tooth brush but I could be paranoid I always get a new one after a issue with a gluten CC.

You didn't ask...but no licking either unless they have gluten free body products on...blush.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.
