hehe, I told a guy he was making me sick =P I thought it was funny, but I think he got a bit offended. Why get upset over it right? make a joke..

anyway, yes you will have to be careful with that. And like I said above, I was seeing a guy for awhile and he ate gluten, I kissed him then wondered why I was getting ill. Then it hit me, he needs to brush his teeth before he can kiss me. Was to much of a chore for him sooooo, thats that. It wasnt an immediate affect, but it will creep up on you. Best thing to do is to be honest and if she really does take an interest to you she will understand.

I suggest you come up with some sexy line about "wanting to touch the true you" so you can (also sexily) wipe her lips off.

May need practice.

In my experience, most of my lipsticks/balms/glosses have not contained gluten, so you're probably not running a terrible risk. Depending on the situation, you might think it's worth chancing it. If you get sick the first time from NOT saying anything, then by the second time you should know her well enough to tell her about your need for gluten-free kisses. And hey, you can buy her some lip balm as a cute joke.

I've also had an issue with something like this - my guy is not gluten free and he still enjoys his beer and bread every day. Would beer on his lips be an issue? When we're out in groups it's not exactly easy to ask him to go brush his teeth to kiss me.

A lot of lipsticks and balms DO contain gluten, usually in the form of wheat germ oil. We have to check all labels. Daughter and I are also allergic to almonds and sweet almond oil is another ingredient in there. I'm not sure wiping off the lips would be enough. This is a very touchy thing. I guess you would have to stick to kissing her on the cheek until you know what is in her lipstick.

Personal expirience not only yeah but OH YEAH!!! My hubby kissed me after finishing his beer, and I was ill for a week, he now will not kiss me after he has eaten ANY gluten until he has brushed his teeth....

point being IF they care they wont put you at risk intenionally.... but you have to explain it to them!

Hmm, now I'm a little nervous. I don't get symptoms like that... all I get is canker sores and some sinus issues, and bone sensitivity that has yet to go away. So, how do I know if my husband is glutening me? I've never made him brush his teeth after eating gluten. Although, typically I don't kiss him immediately after eating. Occasionally we have shared a soda (with two straws). I'm not really sure how careful to be, only because I have no indication of when I've eaten gluten. Hmm... :unsure:

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
