Just Wondering

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 :D

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. ;):lol:

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...... B)

MistressIsis Apprentice

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?

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

      @Charlie1946There is a PM (Personal Message) tool built into the forum website that allows you to send a private message to other forum users. Just hover over their name with your mouse cursor and the menu containing that tool will pop up. This is useful if you want to communicate with an individual without everyone else involved in the thread seeing it.  Are you realizing that in my PPI taper down recommendations in an earlier post above, I was responding not to your posts but to @Caligirl57? If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.

      Hi everyone, I'm still trying to figure out how to each message individually. I saw one with some information on sebaceous hyperplasia but now I can't find it. I appreciate you all so much for all your responses and advice! God bless! Hi everyone, I'm still trying to figure out how to each message individually.
