Can kissing someone who just ate gluten make you sick if you have celiac disease? It's one of the most frequently asked—and least understood—questions in the celiac community. In this episode of Raising Celiac, we speak with Dr. Anne Lee from the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University about a groundbreaking new study that directly measured gluten transfer through kissing.

We’ll explore how the study was designed, what it found (spoiler: drinking water helps!), and what these findings mean for real-life relationships and risk. You'll also meet Emily, a newly engaged woman with celiac disease, whose personal story of love and science brings the data to life.

Thank you to the Global Autoimmune Institute and Celiac Disease Foundation for making this podcast possible.
