Corrected, yes. But NO, NO, NO....it is NOT fun to spread false rumors, inaccurate information or ongoing false myths. WHY would you want to do that.

Many people here are struggling to be healthy. Your humor is very misplaced.

Lisa you say it's a myth, but I too believe envelope glue has gluten. I will surely stand corrected if you can tell me how you know for sure or point me to the proof that debunks the myth. B)

If you have a confirmed source of an envelope manufacturer who uses gluten in the adhesive, please, please, share it with us. In almost twelve years on the diet I have yet to find a single one. A negative cannot be scientifically proven--I invite you to offer positive proof of gluten.

I have made this offer before, many times. I am still waiting for the first proven case of gluten in adhesive. Until I find that example, like Lisa and others, I call it a myth. The burden of proof is in your hands. Show us a verifiable case where the adhesive contains gluten, and I will change my mind.

In the mean time, if you feel better using an alternative moisture source--for whatever reason--do so.

It's more important to regain the original topic. :)

Frankly, I find most of those TV shows which "touch" upon a subject and nibble a little bit around the edges, but never get to the core, very frustrating to watch, and I do not do so. I have no wish to grind my teeth while watching something that has been all dumbed down and distorted for "general" viewing and entertainment rather than the dissemination of accurate information. There now, doesn't that sound really stuffy and snooty?? :lol: No, I did not and will not watch Dr. Oz's show. :D

I'm stuck watching the cartoon chanel and never get to see shows like this. :lol:

As far as the envelopes are concerned, there are envelopes that you peel off the paper and stick. No licking required... :P

No, it doesn't sound snooty! It sounds about right.

And I agree.

I feel very much the same way about other issues, such as recycling. The issue is covered so superficially, and we never get beyond the beginner's level to move on to the real heart of the matter.

I agree 100%!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
