Glue Seal On Planter's Nuts?

Here's an annoying question: does one who is very sensitive need to worry about the seal on my can of Planter's nuts? It sure looks like a glue and I wonder if it has gluten? Lately, when I open their cans I can see the sealant and it's kind of flaky.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

thank you,

lisa

Do you seem to be having CC issues? I don't know what the glue is derived from but they do now make a nut mix with rolled oats. I personally don't tolerate Planters nuts, I am fine with the gluten-free nuts that Wegmans puts out so I know it is not a general nut issue.

Lisa,

I would think it highly unlikely that Planters woud use one of the top 8 allergens on their product. But, I don't have a supporting link for my thoughts.

Thank you, Lisa and Ravenwoodglass,

Yes, I am having an ongoing issue now for about 3 weeks after feeling so well for so long! I haven't had any trouble with Planter's and I've been eating them daily for over a year. It's probably something else, but, if I get a minute, I'll call them and report back.

Take care,

lisa

If you eat them daily perhaps you might want to stop for a couple of weeks, see if things resolve and then add them back in and see what happens. Go over everything that may have changed in the last 3 or 4 weeks, are you using a different shampoo or conditioner, soap, lotion, have you been working on art projects, have you got pets eating gluten food, if you take scripts did you get a refill of anything, binders can change and on generic drugs they can change at any time with no notice, any thing that may be different. Sometimes it isn't always something we eat and sometimes it isn't always gluten. That said most of us do recognize a glutening since for many it comes with such a distinct pattern of symptoms. It can be hard though to figure out what is getting us.

Thanks, Ravenwoodglass!

Yes, I know, it can be so hard to figure out. Over the years I've learned to take the saying "If you hear hoofbeats, think horses" seriously when it comes to gluten because my reactions are so specific. I easily distinguish them from an IBSish reaction. That said, I now include the notion of "if it isn't gluten,it's something that acts exactly like it."

The only new thing is this little goober, black lab but we've now gotten the food down to gluten-free, although I'll go back and check that Suave and Fructis shampoo is gluten-free still. And Tom's of Maine toothpaste (now bought out by Colgate- boo hoo).

Gluten is a bit of a wild card in my room at school where I work with kids diagnosed with emotional disabilities and behavioral issues. They all protect me, but it can become a bit of a gluten-fest in there sometimes...sigh.

Thanks for all your help!

Lisa,

Just a thought.....I was sure I was feeding my dog a gluten-free dog food. We're using California Naturals Lamb and Rice formula. I verified with the company that their ingredients are gluten-free. But, when I tested it using the ELISA EZ Gluten test, it came back positive. Hmmm. I called the company again and turns out it's manufactured on lines shared with gluten. I'm guessing this is pretty common with dog foods.

So, now I'm searching for a guaranteed gluten-free dog food. If anyone knows of one, I'd love to hear! My pup LOVES to lick. And, he LOVES to play with his slobbered up toys. I'm trying Natural Balance next. I talked to them and they say they thoroughly sterilize their lines before running their allergen free formulas. We'll see.

Cheers,

Jill

I use Orijen which is totally grain free and have also used Innova Evo. My pets seem to thrive on the grain free foods and even though they do seem expensive at first I've found they don't eat as much. It seems to satisfy their hunger better.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
