Just Wondering

[MistressIsis]

I'm just wondering if when you are Celiac/gluten Intolerant and your man is not & you're tryign to get pregnant should he go gluten-free for the duration? I gotta believe that if you're ingesting gluten your bodily fluids have at least traces. If it does, how would this affect you?

This has been discussed at some length .... search for altoids on the forum

IMHO the risk of contamination elsewhere is much greater.... just preparing food or cross contamination (search for cross contamination as well)

So while I think it needs to be said that if you are eating together and using the same pans and dishcloths the chance of contamination is much higher...

My husband is not gluten-free. We do not use contraceptives, and I've had no problems.

I believe the consensus on this board is that um, bodily fluids, are safe. However, make sure that he has brushed his teeth/rinsed, etc after eating gluten free food for kisses!

LOL! Altoids!

Thanks, I know it's an odd question but it came up. Guess if I ever decide to have kids that's 1 thing I don't have to worry about.

Just know that literally everything has been discussed here. Now that we're gluten-free, we're all happy, healthy normal adults who wonder about this stuff.

Pretty much the only thing intimate to worry about is kissing. Everything else is totally fine. Other than that, like gfp said, normal life with cross contamination is what gets you.

Steve, thank you. That's the first time I have laughed in days!!!

Reminds me of my now infamous post (which is no longer available for viewing, of course.....):

"If _______________ had gluten in it, I'd be dead by now......"

MistressIsis, somewhere on this forum is a complete list of every single ingredient that is contained in semen. Gluten is definitely not one of them. I of course am NOT going to dig it up, as it is a full moon, which can get REALLY interesting around here if I did......

LOL! Well I WAS trying to put it out there in a socialy acceptable way! LOL!

I was wondering because if kissing can CC how can that not?? That & before diagnosis I had issues with rashes (gak! that just sounds so wrong & icky!)

Ok here's another...birth control pills...can we take any of them? Is it the generic has fillers & the name brands don't?

still laughing at the Altoids...does that go for Listerine strips too?
