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:

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…
