Reaction From Sex?

[wild fisher]

I think this is a stretch but has anyone had any symptoms after having sex with a non gluten free partner? I've been seeing my boyfriend since May of this year. Everything was going great but last month it seemed like i was being glutened the whole month. My stomach was swollen and painfull the whole month and not to mention the watery itchy bumps i used to get on the palms of my hands are back. I will admit to cheating on foods from time to time but honestly i didn't cheat last month. I'm wondering if his fluids are what is bothering my system.

Yeah, I think it's a stretch.

You might want to revisit your cheating.

Is he brushing/flossing before you start swapping spit? (Sorry, I know that's blunt, but then so is what you asked! )

You might also want to investigate any toiletries he uses.

I dont think it is a stretch if he eats gluten and then you kiss him. New relationships often involve A LOT of kissing. He could also be using toiletries with oats/gluten that you lick off.....not trying to be crude.....but if it is done right......this could happen.

Well, maybe it's a stretch for my OLD relationship.

Hmmm, are gluten eaters better in bed or something? I got no experience with that I'm afraid. Such a sad tail. Have you checked with your doctor though? Could also just be a coincidence of timing with some other ugly bugly disease.

Thanks for the responses i love the sense of humor. I laughed out loud and i'm at work. Yes, I think gluten eating men are better in bed !

[sickchick]

Seems pretty simple to me, have you tried condoms to see if your reaction stops?

stop making me giggle

Yes, I think gluten eating men are better in bed !

Now I understand my wife's facination with the Pillsbury Dough Boy.

Seems to me there was a story last year about a college girl w/a peanut allergy who died when her boyfriend, who had eaten a peanut butter cup or something earlier, kissed her. (Poor kids!!)

My husband still eats gluten, usually away from home, and I must admit I'm wondering whether the toothbrushing/rinsing/facewashing is enough to keep me safe.

NOT true!

NOT true!

I think we need a poll here!

DH eats gluten away from home.....and he's pretty good. But I cannot compare as I have never been with a gluten free guy.

I think that peanut kiss story turned out to be wrong (unless there were multiple cases). I found this story online:

Okay, for this I have valuable experience.......DH was not diagnosed with celiac until last summer - -therefore, I knew him (in the biblical sense ) for eighteen years as a gluten-eater, and for the past year as a gluten-free performer.

No difference. Great both ways........

Boy, thanks for sharing that!! I never heard the follow up. But I especially appreciated this part:

"A recent study shows at the end of an hour, there is no allergen left in the saliva."

Good news!!
