People with coeliac disease should not fear kissing gluten-eaters, say scientists
Briefly

Researchers have found that people with coeliac disease can safely kiss those who consume gluten, as only minimal amounts of gluten are transferred during kissing. This discovery helps ease the worries of individuals with coeliac disease, who previously feared incidental gluten exposure could lead to health issues. Conducted by Dr. Anne Lee, this study shows that concerns about gluten during close social interactions can significantly affect quality of life. The research involved kissing tests between couples, indicating that kissing gluten-eaters poses negligible risks of gluten exposure for coeliac patients.
