Do You Kiss Your Sig. Other After They've Had Gluten

Yes, sounds silly, but I'm just trying to be ultra careful! For instance, after your mate might drink a regular beer or eat pizza, or cookies or anything with gluten. Are you comfortable kissing, and I mean "REALLY" kissing them ;):P

Sometimes I ask my hubby to brush his teeth if he had just eaten gluten.

DON'T LAUGH AT ME :) Just want to be careful!!!! :rolleyes:

Yep! He brushes and usually drinks something like a big glass of water. But your preggers so I think you "REALLY" kissed somebody already! ;)

I make him brush his teeth first. Usually he's the one who warns me if he's had gluten.

5 Yrs of gluten-free and this only recently came up for the first time! (We must not kiss enough). I came home late from work and went to give him a hello kiss and he was eating a sandwich and had crumbs all over his lips and teeth. I stopped short and so did he at the same time. Waited until he'd finished, and had something to drink and used a napkin before kissing hello.

I've never been glutened by this before, but I bet we don't kiss enough around eating times!

Yes I definately ask for teeth to be brushed. Learned the hard way with someone who was drinking beer.

My husband likes taking responsibility for this. He's a problem solver. Unfortunately he can't make me well, but he can prevent me from cc through his kisses.

He brushes his teeth first-even before just a little hello kiss. I'm too sensitive to have it otherwise, and we both prefer me healthy!

Floss, brush and mouthwash. I'm sick too much of the time the way it is.

I go in for the kiss and he turns...I've had gluten!! :) Kills the moment when someone has to brush teeth and swish...but at least I won't feel like crap!!

I'm usually the one reminding.. but I felt ill after kissing my bf after he had beer so now I'm particular about it. I feel bad having him mouthwash/brush teeth for this but it's worth the guilt, lol..

Absolutely! Mine always flosses and brushes- I'm way too sensitive for us to do otherwise. (He also doesn't eat much gluten himself, however) Sometimes I think it's happened anyway after what I call "BIG" gluten (like breads, cakes, cookies- lots of possibilities to stay in teeth) But that would be with...ahem, pardon me.....deep kissing.

Not worth me getting sick for either of us as then the kissing and other related activities become greatly compromised.......

What a bunch of great partners we all have! :D Almost everyone said their partner took the responsibility. I am REALLY impressed. Gosh we are lucky! :D

      Oral thrush question

      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...

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

      Oral thrush question

      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...

      Advice while waiting for testing

      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 r...

      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.

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 !

      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:
