Cc From Dog Kisses

[Wife]

I have changed the dog food and treats to grain free to try to eliminate cc from the happy kisses they give my husband, who is on a gluten free diet. I gave the dogs some pizza crust (the gluten type) at noon on Sunday and they kissed him at 5:00. He was sick on Monday. It may be from something else, but I wondered if the gluten would still be a factor after 5 hours.

Unless they kissed his mouth, I doubt that he was CC'ed from the dogs. It is possible though. I think as long as he washes his hands before he eats, he should be okay. You might try to get some gluten free dog treats for the dogs. Science Diet treats are made with corn gluten and should be okay. Carrots and other veggies make good dog treats as well. I hope your husband feels better soon. Being glutened, is the pits!

Dogs and cats lick themselves, alot. So it may not have been doggy kisses it may be gluten that got on his hands from petting them after they had licked themselves. Or it could have been something else altogether. Did you eat the pizza and then kiss hubby? That would have been an even more likely way for him to have gotten glutened. That said sometimes we never know what got us. I hope your DH is feeling better soon.
