Licking Envelopes

What does everyone do about paying bills? Does anyone just lick the envelopes & hope for the best? Or does anyone know if gluten is a major ingredient in envelope glue? I usual pay 5-7 bills at a time so this is not some exorbitant number. I can not really contact the companies to ask them as they would not know. I know I can get a washcloth but was hoping to just be able to lick them.

thank you!

Gluten can be in the glue. There are non-lick envelopes. Most of the banks around here have them. I was so happy when they switched.

Tapping works too! Or you could use wax ;)

I actually now pay all my bills through online banking. So I no longer have envelopes to lick. I just sent out a whole bunch of invitations to my sons first birthday and I used envelope sealer. You can buy that in any Staples or stationary store.

I must be tired after stuffing 120 easter eggs... I laughed out loud at the "wax".... I'm still laughing. :lol:

You can use a damp sponge on the glue.

I use a gluestick, as a matter of fact, the office I work in now uses the gluestick--even the doctor. Guess I started a fad there. :rolleyes: Deb

I just get them all ready to go and my husband seals them! If he's not around, I use a wet paper towel--use it, and throw it away :D

I do all on-line banking as well (love it!). But if I do have to send something I'll use a glue stick, if I'm in a pinch and there isn't one I will lick my finger and rub that along the envelope.

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Body dysmorphia experience. When I was at the worst of my gluten problem I use to get chronic constipation; I would spend long time sitting on the toilet. One day as I was tired of sitting, I rested my head on my hands and my elbows on my knees, as soon as I felt the pressure of my elbows on my knees the perception of my body changed to that of a tarantula...

      Gluten related ??

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Thank you so much for your response Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on. I'm not eating gluten as far as I know. However, I'm not sure of cross contamination. My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ??? if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease...

      Body dysmorphia experience. When I was at the worst of my gluten problem I use to get chronic constipation; I would spend long time sitting on the toilet. One day as I was tired of sitting, I rested my head on my hands and my elbows on my knees, as soon as I felt the pressure of my elbows on my knees the perception of my body changed to that of a tarantula; I visualized and it felt real. The perception went away as soon as I removed the pressure on my knees, I deducted that the pressure of my elbows on the knees caused the sensation, so I repeated the position and the sensation of having the body of a tarantula happened each time. I have not had that experience since then because I started a gluten-free diet short after. I wonder if those people that look distorted to themselves in the mirror could have something similar but with the responsible sensory contacts located on their feet. I want to document this experience because it might help some research or others, it sounds crazy but I feel the right thing to do is to share it.
