Really Random Question About Paper In Soup!

Hi everyone!

I wouldn't know where else to turn but the celiac forums with this question. I am sick and I made myself a great chicken soup to get better. I noticed after I had made the soup and eaten some that a small piece of waxy cardboard paper from the new spoon (part of the packaging) I bought had dropped into the soup and had been there the whole time it was cooking. Being a celiac, of course. now I am worried that this waxy cardboard paper could have gluten and have contaminated the soup. I've already eaten several bowls of it. . . so . . . just wondering, any thoughts? What would you do?

Many thanks from one celiac to another.

A) you've already eaten several bowls of it. So you will know soon enough.

B) freeze the rest of the soup until you find out you don't have a reaction.

C) If you don't have a reaction; then thaw, eat & ENJOY!

There are myths about gluten in paper products, but in almost twelve years gluten-free I have never seen an actual verified example. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

last I checked, paper was made from trees, and wax was made from either bee vomit, fruit, or chemicals.

Great! There is nothing like being able to poll celiacs about a question like this when in doubt. I am very grateful for your answers!

I started eating it last night and I'm still unsure about my reaction time, I'll hold out a little longer, but seems like it's probably all good. :)

      One small study I read recently found that half of the celiacs in the study experienced small bowel villous inflammation from CMP (Cow's Milk Protein).

      Can celiac suddenly 'occur'?

      By Chloe Senora · Posted

      It’s interesting that you say this. I’ve been constipated all my life, fatigued since I got my first period, severely anemic for 2 and a half years, low vitamin D. But it wasn’t until after I got food poisoning a couple weeks ago, that I have not had a normal bowel movement since. And my drs told me to eat a lot of gluten because they want to test me for celiac, primarily because of the anemia and chronically low ferritin. Ferritin is supposed to be 14 but ideally 50-146. 2 and a half years ago it was 3.7, then 7.3, then 10.3, but now it’s 5. And a year ago I got on birth control so I don’t even get a period anymore. Almost all of my current health issues (much more than just celiac) either started or became a lot worse after I got Covid 2 years ago. If anyone has any tips for me it’d be greatly appreciated. Waiting on my blood test results, should get them in a day or 2.

      Thank you! He is avoiding all of the BROW recommended gluten culprits. He does still eat dairy and he knows about FodMap foods that have proteins hard to digest! Thanks for all the great advice! I appreciate all the comments.
