Hey!
Ever since my diagnosis, I have grown to LOVE fruit. They're wonderful - inexpensive (fairly), simple, and they're not "specialty" food. I don't feel different when hanging with my friends and eating fruit because fruit is universal. Anyways, I had always heard most stickers (envelope glue) etc. was non gluten-free. What about the stickers on apples and other fruit? Even if I peel them off, will the sticky residue make me sick? For right now, I'm cutting off the entire area where the sticker had peeled off. Am I too paranoid? Don't answer that. Does anyone know if these stickers are gluten-free?
Thanks,
Ginny

I cut off the sticker on all the fruits I eat. Most of the time I just take all the skin off the fruit.
Sorry I don't have an answer but just wanted to let you know your not alone.

I don't know the answer, and Im guessing it would be difficult to track down, but I think it's an incredibly interesting subject. Thank you for bringing it up. I had never thought about that before.
