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%!

You folks have got to start supporting the post office or we won't have any reason to have letterboxes :ph34r: And then grannies won't get any 'thank you' letters :o And what would teenagers start bashing with their baseball bats then???

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
