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.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      Thank you, I think with the initial blood tests they did actually do the IgA tests first to make sure those are normal! I am wondering if there are any tests that actually test for the presence of the gluten protein? From my understanding, all of these test for gluten antibodies, which in the case of refractory celiac would switch to a gluten-independent mechanism of activation. Because my ttg levels havent changed at all with my increasingly strict diet, I am concerned about distinguishing between the possibilities that 1) I am super sensitive to very very small amounts of gluten and am getting cross contamination from somewhere I haven't identified or 2) have refractory celiac where even if I were to eliminate gluten 100%, my immune system is stuck in this activated state or is reacting to something else. The course of action should be different in these scenarios - in scenario 1, I should really lock in and stop eating processed foods all together (even if labeled gluten-free?) and identify any possible source of contamination no matter how small, but scenario 2 would require some other intervention like corticosteroids or a clinical trial. If I could somehow test the actual presence or amount of gluten in my body, I would think that could distinguish between these possibilities - if gluten is present it is more likely scenario 1, and if gluten is not present it's more likely scenario 2. I would probably need a test I could take regularly like once a day

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That is true, but they are not a bad place to start. I recommend ones One A Day without iron, unless you need iron. You can definitely add other supplements over time if needed, but it's a good starting point that can address a variety of nutrient deficiencies.
