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.

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
