Can gluten transfer through sex?

IzzyBee39 posted:

I have been diagnosed with CD, I've been gluten free for about a month, my husband isn't. Everytime we are intimate I am extremely sore & irritated which takes days to clear up. Never had this problem before, just the last month. Are there any articles about this topic out there anywhere? All I can find are articles stating kissing is the only way to transfer gluten. Is this true?

I know this sounds very strange...but is your husband diabetic by chance? I know mine is, and everytime we fool around and his sugar is off...I end up with an infection. Just some food for thought!
