Not sure if i posted this in the right area..But this might seem like a silly question until i realized last night that my bf had pizza for dinner, then i went out with him, and thought could i get contaminated from kissing him b/c he just had pizza?

He brushed his teeth after he ate, but then i thought, what toothpaste did u use?!? :blink:

This is so much to think about!

it's possible to get contaminated from kissing BUT if he brushed his teeth after he ate that significantly reduces the risk. I don't know which toothpastes do contain gluten, so can't help you there. I use colgate and it's fine.

I acutally never thought of this, my boyfriend did and he is not even Celiac. But when I was first diagnosed, he was worried about contaminating me and when we go out he will just rinse his mouth with his drink and then until he can brush his teeth he will only kiss me on my cheek or my forehead. He is so cute. But yes you should def. be concerned with this espically if you are very sensitive like me. I also use colgate, just ask him I am sure that he will understand. :)

Yep contamination from kissing is possible..believe me..I have been there...my bf now is not gluten free and he drinks something gluten free before kissing me and makes sure he gets the stuff down and we have not had a problem since. He is very respectful about it:)

      Blood results

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.
