Hi...ok so a friend asked me the other day, if because I am celiac and need to eat gluten free...did my boyfriend have to eat gluten free as well...especially when it came to, um...well sex. I"m sorry if this is TMI...but I'm just wondering about oral sex...does gluten get passed through to semen? I KNOW I KNOW...OMG I can't believe I'm asking this!!! But it brought out the curious cat in me, and I need to know now. hahaha...anyone have any clues?

Most folks think it's a good idea for your boyfriend to wash his mouth out before kissing, but that oral sex is not a problem. Don't worry, it's been discussed before.

Thanks, Richard. I've told him about brushing/flossing before kissing...and I don't think he's convinced it would be a problem...but I think he's just being stubborn, and he doesn't really understand the consequences of a little bit of gluten lingering in HIS mouth. so when that happens, he gets a little peck instead. :) he does understand about CC though, as he is a chemist, and it's what he deals with all day long! not gluten of course, but other elements. :) Good to know about the oral...ha!

Oh dear, the life of a celiac. lol

Brushing his teeth before kissing is a good place to start.

As for the...ahem... other issue. He most likely touches that area at some point during the day with gluten covered hands which as odd as it sounds, could be a source of contamination. It may be too much to ask for him to have a shower before sex, but you could try making it sexy and turning it into foreplay.

But no, gluten is no usually passed through semen.

Good luck and kudos to you for being brave enough to ask :lol:

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
