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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
