Help
A friend who also has celiac, just called me about a list she recieved regarding toilet paper and paper towels, some mainstream/name brand that contain gluten. She didn't have the brand list with her. Was wondering if anyone elso knew anything about it? We buy Kirkland and Charmin.

This came up once before. I think the consensus was that there is no gluten in paper products, but some might have gluten in the glue they use on the roll to hold the last sheet on.
"According to the Clan Thompson list the following products are NOT gluten free:
Angel Soft Toilet Paper, Brawny Paper Towels, Mardi Gras Napkins and Paper towels, Quilted Northern Toilet Paper, Soft and Gentle Toilet Paper, Brawny Paper Towels and Sparkle Paper towels. This is due to "trace amounts of gluten in glue used to hold paper together and in roll sealant". The modified starch is derived from corn in Cottonelle toilet paper and it is considered gluten free."

True enough...didn't think of that~~
Also...I know us adults wash our hands after the potty but sometimes no matter how much you remind them...kids sometimes don't!

Funny you brought up this subject. Just came back from vacation itching. I'm thinking the cause was the toilet paper. The only toilet paper I can use is Charmin ultra. Anything else and i'm miserable. I did email and find out that Puffs Plus is gluten free.

Glad y'all don't have a problem with TT, but I sure do. I was using Northern for a while and could not figure out why "those places" stayed raw and itchy. Saw the notice on Clan Thompson's site and changed brands. No more problems after the initial stuff healed.

You know, we think my DH is still being glutened somehow and I wonder if this is it. I checked deodorant and toothpaste (does't use hair spray), shampoo and a few other things but never thought to check TP, PT and kleenex!
Thanks!
