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:

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      If you successfully digest gluten with enzyme supplements so it won’t give you side effects, your challenge won’t be worthwhile because the digested fragments of gluten also won’t stimulate antibody production or cause intestinal damage.

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...
