US EditionCan Kissing Pass Gluten? New Findings For Celiac Patients
- Researchers from Columbia University presented a study on May 5, 2025, in San Diego, finding gluten cannot be passed through kissing among celiac patients.
- This small study arose from celiac patients' anxiety about gluten transfer through kissing, an area previously lacking sufficient research data.
- The research included a group of couples where only one individual had celiac disease, and it assessed gluten levels in saliva after their partners consumed saltine crackers followed by water and then shared a kiss.
- Saliva samples showed gluten levels below 20 parts per million, the threshold for gluten-free products, leading researcher Anne Lee to say, "You don't have to go to extreme measures."
- The findings suggest celiac patients can kiss safely if their partners drink water after eating gluten, potentially easing anxiety about gluten cross-contact.
