It's not for pregnancy ....

but since celiacs are allergic to SO much, as i am, has anyone had any problems with condoms?

i dunno if thats to much of a risky question to ask and if it is, i'm sorry, but if someone could let me know, that would be good. thank you

Not a problem if you use them in the conventional way. :ph34r:

some people do have a latex allergy, though I have never heard anything about there being a connection with celiac disease. if so, latex condoms wouldn't be a good choice, but they make polyurethane ones that are safe for those with latex allergies. do be aware, however, that most condoms are lubricated (you don't want them breaking!), and some lubricants irritate some people - again, nothing I've heard connected with celiac. and, finally, a handful of companies still make condoms with spermicidal lubricant, which is usually based on nonoxyl-9, which is known to be quite a strong irritant for some people (and why these types of condoms are slowing coming off the market).

so, while gluten isn't something to be concerned about (unless you're talking about flavored condoms for use in oral sex, in which case I would check the ingredients and call the manufacturer on the source of 'natural flavors' as applicable), there are plenty of other things to be aware of regarding reactions to condoms.

anyone think I've been down this long, drawn out road before? ;):D

Yeah, I am "allergic" to that stuff. I never had an allergy panel for it, but GOD do I *know* that I can't use it. Ok, any more would be WAY TOO MUCH INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am totally allergic to the non-9 and have had some milder reactions to other condoms. Good luck finding a safe brand.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
