Hi! I have a question, I hope to not to gross anyone out, but I'll try to be as eloquent as possible.

Is it possible that one's significant other can spread gluten other than by kissing? I hope you understand which implication I'm making. :unsure:

Thank you,

OK...I think I should explain further in detail...a certain oral act. I apologize in advance, because this may seem inappropriate, but I figured that other Celiacs would know.

Thanks again,

Jill, I thought that is what you were inferring ;) However, I don't know what the answer to this would be. It's a good question.

I would think it would all be okay. Shouldn't gluten have already been absorbed? Since your partner has no problems with gluten, then it shouldn't be part of the bloodstream. That's my 2 cents.

cynicaltomorrow, she means.. the oral kind, lol.

Jill, I have no clue either.. maybe just have him wash his mouth really well before hand, to be safe?

Or.. hump a loaf of bread to see if there is a reaction? And I'll go hide now. Not exactly a lady either, but thought I'd try to help. =P

Guest ~wAvE WeT sAnD~

Hahhaahahhaaha, yes, I mean the oral kind. I just didn't want to sound offensive or disgusting.

I'll tell my boyfriend to hump a loaf a bread!!! lol! :D

Thank you for responding!

let me relieve your minds--you cant get gluten from oral sex unless maybe there is some topical lotion you have used--read the ingredients then, but people do not pass gluten on to each other--we wouldnt beable to have sex at all if that were the case :( --its ok---deb :rolleyes:

Guest ~wAvE WeT sAnD~

Deb,

Thank you!!!!

I knew that.. I was just thinking.. the other way around. B)

Alexolua Explorer

Ahhhh!!! LOL

I follow ya. =P

darlindeb25 -> I think her concern was if he recently ate something with gluten in it, since kissing can cause someone to get glutened.. and if he, well.. performed it on her. Sounds like yer thinking the other way around too?

Unless I'm wrong, reading it that way. Sorry! =)

Jill, I don't think you need to worry about sounding disgusting, considering how some here talk about certain bodily functions, lol.

:D you're very welcome jill and i guess i didnt misunderstand your guestion--my man always brushes his teeth if he has eaten something he knows i cant have, so i have always felt very safe in that respect--its a give and take situation--deb :rolleyes:
Guest ~wAvE WeT sAnD~

Alexolua hit the nail on the head---recent Gluten ingestion before The Deed is what I was hinting at!!

Thanks!

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.  
    • Samanthaeileen1
      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
