:blink: DISCLAIMER.....if I made this up then ignore it and chalk it up mothering 4 boys, 6 and under!! :blink:

Does the sticker that comes on fruit have a wheat base to it??

If so is washing the fruit ok or should it be peeled?

And who do you check with to verify this information??

Thanks..

Dallas

This question was posted on a thread a while back.. if i remember correctly the answer is no wheat involved. I am sure someone will chime in with that answer for sure. I have never had a problem with any fruit with stickers on them.

I eat a lot of apples and until recently, didn't even think about peeling the area the sticker was. I've never gotten sick from it, but I now peel the area where the sticker was, just in case.

I was told years ago by a coworker that the sticker was fruit based. Don't know whether that is true or not.

I can't remember where but I have read a bunch of differenet places that they use something that is wheat free in the stickers. I don't know what they use, I just remember hearing it was gluten free.

The sticker glue is definitely gluten-free.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
