ok, here is my confession:

i thought "really. getting glutened from kissing the significant other? preposterous!!" i really thought y'all were over the top and frankly, a little batty... ;) but, i refrained and was careful when it came to smooching the old man. untillllllll...........

ok, here is my apology:

i was totally wrong! yes, you can get glutened by kissing your sweetie if he/she is eating/drinking gluten goodies! i didn't believe it. but i do now :/

my poor sweetie worked his hiney off to make sure i didn't get sick in a house full of relatives this past week. he made sure nobody put away leftovers in contaminated containers. he POLICED all cutting boards and mixing spoons. (LOL he contaminated an entire pot of marinara sauce by dipping italian/gluten bread directly into gallons of the finished sauce ("honey? what are you- oh. well, nevermind") without realizing what he'd done. i made giant pan of gluten-ziti with it for the masses and recreated said sauce gluten-free) so, when he was feeling all romantic, i didn't have the heart to make him go sterilize his mouth, thinking, SURELY NOT.... oh, well. who's got two thumbs and learns everything the hard way?? *this girl* :D

ps - also got glutened by lipgloss (organic - contains wheat germ oil...) two weeks ago. another 'myth' (in my mind) dispelled.

I got nailed with lipgloss with wheatgerm oil, but was told it was gluten-free orginally! Always look for yourself. It's a learning experience : ) the longer gluten-free the more we know.

I tell ya, I was the same way once upon a time. I figured if I didn't eat it, the rest didn't matter. I was proven wrong a few times and had to get much more strict about it.

Oh man, so sorry it got you, but yeah, sometimes it's just too hard to believe it can even be real until it happens, yeah? And sometimes it can end up being kinda funny. Later. When it doesn't hurt anymore, yeah?

This Thanksgiving, people around my hubby and I probably thought we were loons when I leaned up to kiss my hubby and he suddenly turned his head away and yelped out 'No, wait, beer! Beer!' He'd drunk a beer a few minutes before and was trying to warn me. :D

I can't believe some of the products out there that have wheat in it! I would get cankersoars all the time from lip gloss and never knew why. Even some shampoos have wheat, and I would end up with a constant itchy scalp.

Although I drink bud light lime and I don't have any problems. I know it's a rice beer, so I've been drinking it, I'm sure there's cross contamination though, it doesn't seem to bother me. Which I find odd cause I can't eat any Schneider's meats products cause of cross contamination or Quaker oatmeal because of the same issue. I'm not gonna complain about it, cause I miss Alexander Keith's and MGD!

I'm not sure where you are and if the beer Steamwhistle is available, but it's certified gluten free, maybe he can give it a try? I hear it's pretty good!

You might want to email Anheuser- Busch about that beer. I think its just the regular beer with lime added. So it may not have wheat, but it does have barley. Not sure they make any rice beers. i have emailed them before, & they were pretty quick to respond.

thanks for the info. I'll try and send them an email in the near future.

I have a friend with celiacs, and she was the one who advised me it was a rice beer, and she drinks it too, but it's always good to know the facts. If it's made of barley and rice, at least I still have Crown Royal! Even if bud doesn't bother me, it's still doing damage from the barley.

      Is this celiac?

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end...

      Is this celiac?

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So...

      Is this celiac?

      The symptoms that led to my diagnosis were stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, body/nerve tingling and burning and chills. It went away after about four days but led me to a gastro who did an upper endo and found I had marsh 3b. I did the blood test for celiac and it came back negative. I have gone gluten free. In week 1 I had a flare-up that was similar to...

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?

      I only went on the multi vitamin AFTER a couple of year of high dose, targeted supplementation resolved most of my deficiencies.  I was on quite a cocktail of vitamins that was changed every 6 months as my deficiencies resolved.  Those that were determined to be genetic are still addressed with specific doses of those vitamins, minerals and amino acids. I have an update on my husband and his A Fib.  He ended up in the hospital in August 2025 when his A Fib would not convert.  He took the maximum dose of Flecainide allowed within a 24 hour period.  It was a nightmare experience!  They took him into the ER immediately.  They put in a line, drew blood, did an EKG and chest Xray all within minutes.  Never saw another human for 6 hours.  Never got any results, but obviously we could see he was still in A fib by watching the monitor.  They have the family sign up for text alerts at the ER desk.  So glad I did.  That is the only way we found out that he was being admitted.  About an hour after that text someone came to take him to his room on an observation floor.  We were there two hours before we saw another human being and believe it or not that was by zoom on the TV in the room.  It was admissions wanting to know his vaccine status and confirming his insurance, which we provided at the ER desk.  They said someone would be in and finally a nurse arrived.  He was told a hospitalist was in charge of his case.  Finally the NP for the hospitalist showed up and my husband literally blew his stack.  He got so angry and yelled at this poor woman, but it was exactly what he needed to convert himself to sinus rhythm while she was there.  They got an EKG machine and confirmed it.  She told him that they wanted to keep him overnight and would do an echo in the morning and they were concerned about a wound on his leg and wanted to do a doppler to make sure he did not have a DVT.  He agreed.  The echo showed everything fine, just as it was at his annual check up in June and there was no DVT.  A cardiologist finally showed up to discharge him and after reviewing his history said the A Fib was due to the Amoxicillan prescribed for his leg wound.  It both triggers A Fib and prevents the Flecainide from working.  His conversion coincided with the last dose of antibiotic getting out of his system.  So, make sure your PCP understands what antibiotics you can or cannot take if susceptible to A Fib.  This cardiologist (not his regular) wanted him on Metoprolol 25 mg and Pradaxa.  My husband told him that his cardiologist axed the idea of a beta blocker because his heart rate is already low.  Sure enough, it dropped to 42 on the Metoprolol and my husband felt horrible.  The pradaxa gave him a full body rash!  He went back to his cardiologist for follow up and his BP was fine and heart rate in the mid 50's.  He also axed the Pradaxa since my husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation.   Oh and I forgot to say the hospital bill was over $26,000.  Houston Methodist!

      The symptoms that led to my diagnosis were stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, body/nerve tingling and burning and chills. It went away after about four days but led me to a gastro who did an upper endo and found I had marsh 3b. I did the blood test for celiac and it came back negative.  I have gone gluten free. In week 1 I had a flare-up that was similar to my original symptoms. I got more careful/serious. Now at the end of week 2 I had another flare-up. These symptoms seem to get more intense. My questions:  1. How do I know if I have celiac and not something else? 2. Are these symptoms what others experience from gluten?  When I have a flare-up it’s completely debilitating. Can’t sleep, can’t eat, can’t move. Body just shakes. I have lost 10 pounds since going gluten free in the last two weeks.
