People with coeliac disease can kiss people who have eaten gluten without worry, according to a new study, as researchers found only negligible traces of the protein were transferred.

Approximately one per cent of the population is impacted by the autoimmune disorder, which can cause severe abdominal pain, indigestion and diarrhoea if wheat, barley or rye is consumed.
