: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.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.
