Kissing after partner ate gluten?

I know that some people can have allergic reactions if they kiss someone after they ate nuts, but I wonder if this applies with gluten and Celiac Disease? I am gluten free have been for years, have any of you had issues with this? Or does this only apply to food allergies? I do have tree nut allergies but I am not sure if they correlate.

This is actually a very commonly asked question here, and you can see this as there are over 1,000 posts about it:

I think it's definitely important for celiacs to avoid regular amounts of cross-contamination, which could happen when you are kissing.

This is another of those sensitive topics, as it can create some issues between someone who is with a non-gluten-free partner. Hopefully your partner is considerate enough for you to discuss this. I believe that a good tooth brushing beforehand should suffice, but I'm sure there will be other opinions on this topic.

      Alprazolam gluten free?

      By CeliacPsycho246 · Posted

      @Scott Adams I would say it means , no it is not verified gluten free. I am extremely sensitive and I also have OCD. So that answer is entirely too vague for me. However , if it suits others then I am happy for those individuals

      Have you considered eating plenty of gluten from now until your capsule endoscopy? If you truly have celiac disease that would increase the chances of damage being seen.

      I just want to reinforce what Scott said and that is we have tended to think in these neat little black and white categories of it's either celiac or NCGS when in reality it may not be quite that neat. There's just a lot we don't know and the immune system is very complex. I often wonder if I had been gluten free as a child if I would have avoided developing celiac disease as an adult. I think there is also this misconception that if you have NCGS, gluten is not harmful, it just creates discomfort and inconvenience.
