So I tend to lurk in a gluten free forum over on live journal. It is often interesting and entertaining to see what people are posting about. Sometimes I am skeptical about the information that is posted on there. Some of it seems pretty extreme. Perhaps my Celiac is just not as sensitive as other folks. Recently, there was a topic that made me pause. I was wondering if any of you have had experience with this:
Have you ever been glutened by kissing a loved one who is not GF?
Do we really have to be that careful?
Is it more theoretical that you could be glutened?
Have any of you experienced this?
About Me
- Shannon
- What to say about me? I talk to much. I love to dance. I have wonderful friends. I am an adult (when did that happen?) I am passionate about teaching and creative expression. I wish I could travel more. I like to think I’m a good photographer, but then I see that work of others and know how much I have yet to learn. I love to try new things, yet sometimes am resistant to change. I have Celiac Disease and am just starting my journey through this new gluten free world. I cry. I laugh. I give great hugs.

haha... I sometimes ask what has been recently consumed. my partner tends to eat a lot of cake...
I take no chances - The Man has to brush his teeth and use mouthwash before he kisses me. It seems that the longer I am GF, the more sensitive I get, so I just don't want to risk it.
Well, if my boyfriend just swallowed a swig of beer or just ate a normal cracker I will wait a few minutes, but I have never asked him to brush his teeth before kissing. I don't think I am that sensitive - thank goodness!
I won't kiss my fiance if he has crumbs on his face. But that's usually because he's just eaten some yummy-looking bread or cake right in front of me... He shouldn't be rewarded for that type of behaviour!
I don't kiss my man if he's just eaten something gluteny, just in case. I don't lick envelopes anymore either!
