Glutenend By My Husband?

[GinaO]

Hello everyone. I am still learning as I was diagnosed on 12/8/05. However my question is this....I have been getting sick less frequently but....I think I have nailed it down to one thing: sexual intercourse. Could this be a source of cross contamination?? I called the doctor's office and of course the nurse had "never heard of this...but will check." Anyone???

There is a whole thread about this......Hopefully someone will find it. But I'm pretty sure the answer is no in terms of gluten.

I don't think so. Especially not from genital contact.

I can see it now, "Not tonight, honey, you had pasta for dinner."

I had asked about this before too because I do tend to get glutenened like symptoms after being intimate... Even without kissing... so even though the scientific evidence points to the contrary, I'm not convinced!

This would be interesting to find out. anyone find the thread mentioned above?

You aren't using any other products are you? Like lubricant? Hands can be contaminated as well, so you really have to make sure they are clean. Genitals are full of mucous membrane tissue.

Well, how clean is your partner? If he had crumbs on him and you kissed (or etc) that area, you would very easily get gluten.

Maybe you're just allergic to your husband

Just kidding...

Your systems kind of go into overdrive and all kinds of chemicals are released, maybe you picked up gluten from somewhere and you react more because all of your body chemicals get thrown around?

Best I could think of...

HAHAHAHAHA

Actually, I was kind of allergic to my ex. It was the oil in his skin. My face got all these little tiny red bumps every time we saw each other in the beginning, when we had a long distance relationship. When we saw each other regularly (not long distance) I got used to him and didn't have those skin problems. Weird.
