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.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      The previous post did not come through right. I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.

      I wasn’t clear, glucagon and gadolinium were intravenous. I drank about 5 cups of the prep during 45 minutes. I feel very tired now, probably partly because I was nervous, and partly because I had to fast for 6 hours beforehand and wasn’t very hungry when I got home.
