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.

:lol: :lol:

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.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.
