Glutened From Kissing?

Hello everyone! I recently came up positive on a Celiac blood panel after having horrible C, brain fog, sleepless, bloating, and stomach pressure/pains for a while.

My boyfriend has been really great in understanding Celiac disease and helping me through it, however I think that I keep getting sick after kissing him, even when he's brushed his teeth.

His toothpaste is gluten free as far as I know (crest pro health). I was wondering does anyone have this similar problem? If so, how do you deal with it?

I really want to be able to kiss him...and asking him to go gluten free is just not an option.

thanks!

after toothbrushing? no, i haven't experienced that problem. not saying it isn't impossible, just that i haven't had it.

and why has him going gluten free been put in the no category/ it `is` an option. as in, he has the capacity to eat gluten free, and the capability to make that decision if he so chooses. so why have you rejected it/ it might be reasonable to reject it, in the circumstances, but there ought to be a good reason other than 'I don't want to ask that of him'.

ps- the stuck shift key on my computer is getting really annoying

My best advice--wait till the next morning... Yes, it takes the romance out of the evening, but you won't feel bad the next day.

Maybe it's some other personal care product, not the toothpaste. Maybe his shaving cream or aftershave? Or his shampoo?

Make dinner that is gluten-free. Tonight we are having steak (marinated in Lea & Perrins worchestor(sp?) sauce, garlic & pepper), garlic smashed red potaoes and asparagrus with parmesean on it. Raspberry sorbet for dessert. Wine No gluten!

Tomorrow night we are having BBQ chicken, salad (no croutons), corn & Chebe bread sticks (extended gluten eating family love them). No gluten.

Would he feel deprived if the 2 of you cooked stuff like this?

My hub & boys still use regular bread, crackers and sometimes pasta. But usually, when we eat together, we eat gluten-free but they are the same meals we ate before pretty much.

FarmCat has a good idea there. I know I've tasted shaving cream when I've kissed a man before.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
