This is UK information, but I suspect that it is similar in the US. I have never seen evidence that envelope glue contains gluten. If there is information contrary to this, please post.

There may be a very few vending machines that still dispense a strip of gummed-adhesive postage stamps. Otherwise all U.S. postage stamps are self adhesive and have been for years.

No evidence other than what i've read on the forum. A year and a half ago I was getting glutened with some regularity and could not figure out why. Someone here suggested it might be glue in the envelops so I stopped licking... No more problems. Now I only have only 1 reason to be sick from paying bills! --

I remember reading that most paper glues are more likely to be corn-based...but still, from seeing too many people say they were glutened from liking envelopes, stamps, etc., I don't think it's worth taking a chance.

Yes I've heard about the envelopes containing gluten, still I forget and lick! When I remember tho I feel just a little safer :)

Remember this is TOTALLY FALSE :blink: but should nevertheless gross you out enough to keep you from ever licking another envelope ever again!

Scroll a little more than half way down the page for the envelope version. :lol::ph34r:

      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/
