I'm confused to whether or not I should be letting my 3 yo play with stickers. I'd appreciate some thoughts on this!

THAT is true! I am known as the canary in the coalmine in my ROCK group, 'if molly doesn't get sick, then it has to be safe..."

The adhesive on stickers does not contain gluten.

Thanks for bringing this up. I was just wondering about that myself... Good to know they're okay.

Is that a myth then? I thought they did contain Gluten? All stickers are safe?

Yes, I was wondering about those stupid stickers they put on fruits and vegetables now- I've been cutting that part of the fruit off. Do you suppose those stickers are safe, anyone?

thanks

Actually I'm asking because I think I may have had a glutening and wonder if they're the culprit- missed some in a salad.

I can't attach a document or post from elsewhere, but since I've been gluten-free (almost 5 years), I've seen numerous people check kids' stickers and fruit stickers by calling the companies. The answer has always been the same -- the adhesive does not contain gluten. In fact, the only companies in the U.S. that make glue for envelopes also say their glue does not contain gluten (can't say about foreign companies). The stickers simply are not something to worry about.

I think the confusion arises because some of the licky stuff (mainly envelopes made overseas) does contain gluten. But if it's the self-stick type you should be quite safe.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
