Kissing? Hold on…
Something that you might not think about right away is kissing. I never really thought about it much until this year but if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend who has just consumed food containing a lot of Gluten you may want to want a bit until they have a chance to brush their teeth or drink some water before you go in for a kiss. I am not suggesting never kissing someone but if they just ate a hot dog and a beer it is likely that some of the leftovers may still be on their lips or mouth.
You have a few options here:
Wait a little bit for the residue to be eliminated
Rinse it away with some water
The option that I like the best is both people following a Gluten Free diet while together. I have been lucky enough to have found someone who has embraced the diet and does a great job at finding products and making sure foods do not contain Gluten if she prepares them. I am very lucky to have someone in my life like this.
I am not saying that if you kiss someone who just ate Gluten you will be sick, but it may be an issue so I am giving you a heads up. I know it is probably the last thing on your mind but it could have an effect.
This is a great post. I honestly would have never considered it. I’m curious what made you think of it? Is there a story to go with it lol
not related to gluten, but i heard a story of a person who had a really bad allergy to peanuts, and kissed their boyfriend who had eaten peanuts earlier, and she actually died. intense..
Yeah it is something you do not really think about but can be severe
