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.

      Hi all, I was diagnosed by blood work about 2 months ago and have since went on a strict gluten free diet. I have an endoscopy in January and the GI dr said nothing about staying on gluten for it; hes aware i went no gluten. starting to heal symptoms include: (this is huge) sensation coming back to genitals and when having a bowl movement. everything has been numb for a long time down there including lower belly button area. good size (not abnormal) bowel movements once a day or every two days. small dot size wart just fell off my finger that was there for years. have not broke out with a cold sore this winter (every winter prior for years i would develop a cold sore on my lip) Ongoing issues I don't sweat. not from my hands, or armpits or feet. I do not get butterflys in stomach. my hands have been so dry for years ive been using a crack cream as they crack and bleed very severely in the fall and winter.  (since going gluten free ive not used crack cream but they are still very very dry and chapped/flaky, no sweat or moisture in palms of hands at all. I dont crave food. i have no cravings at all, not for pizza, ice cream , nothing. my cravings are dead. smell of foods kinda make me hungry, but my stomach blocks it. pins needles in feet get weak legs standing up from sitting and dizzy, things almost turn black. i cannot tolerate veggies or vitamins. Iam vitamin D deficient according to my Dr and Ive tried vitamin D pills. they give me a massive migraine for 8 hours and upset my stomach. the heat from the direct sun make me extremely tired to the point of wanting to pass out. again i don't sweat. broccoli gives me a migraine headache as well. mushrooms, bell peppers burn my stomach. fruits burn my stomach, fats (peanut butter, any oil or fat from meats make me sick to my stomach for a couple hours or longer. salt and pepper burns my stomach. all these issues cause pain at my belly button area and expand to the rest of my upper stomach and sides the more i ingest through out the day. I currently eat bland basmati rice, chicken, pork chops (fat trim), boiled russet potatoes no skin for three meals a day. my snacks are gluten free ground buckwheat flour pancakes. (just water, no oil , salt, dairy.) how am i to get vitamins in my system if i cannot tolerate them in my stomach? i mentioned epidermal vitamin patchs but dr said no. why cant i stand the heat from the sun ? why cant i sweat? thanks for any info.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      Because you have significantly reduced your gluten intake over a considerable amount of time, it is likely that you will test negative on the antibody tests. However, if the $112 for the Quest test is not a burden, it wouldn't hurt to try. It tests for total IGA (to ascertain if you are IGA deficient) and tTG-IGA. If total IGA is deficient, it can result in false negatives in other IGA tests. The tTG-IGA is the single most popular test ordered by physicians. The Quest test is not a complete celiac panel by any means (refer to the linked article above) but it might be a good place to start. Personally, I think you know enough to conclude that you need to get serious about avoiding gluten, whether you have celiac disease or NCGS. Human nature being what it is, however, many people seem to need an official diagnosis of celiac disease in order to stay on the bandwagon. Otherwise, they seem to rationalize cheating on the gluten-free diet. And there is this misconception out there that NCGS is inconvenient and uncomfortable but not harmful so it's okay to cheat. The more we learn about gluten-related disorders the more they seem to not fit into our neat little black and white categories. By the way, celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is classified as an autoimmune disorder.

      These responses are all extremely helpful, ty.  Really good reminder about omega 6.  I also know I'm low in zinc; I took the zinc test where I drank it on a spoon and couldn't taste it.  To that end, I try to eat a lot of oysters.  I do think it would be a good idea to get the blood test.  Two questions: 1-  Is there any reason you wouldn't recommend that I just buy and take a test like this as a first step? 2- I've been somewhat gluten free since ~Jan 2023 (technically organic, gluten free, soy free, light on dairy).  I eat a lot of meat, vegetables, rice -- a common breakfast for me is three eggs and a sausage link, and I can't remember the last time I had a sandwich or bread.  However, because in my mind I didn't think I had an allergy, and I more was doing gluten free to avoid artificially iron-enriched foods, I do make exceptions.  I'll eat breaded calamari.  When my Dad visits, I split mozzarella sticks with him because he loves them so much.  I'll eat the "gluten sensitive" items at a restaurant and if they asked, "is cross contamination ok?",  I always said yes.  Based on that, since I never probably fully eliminated gluten, but it was significantly reduced... is that good enough to take the blood test?  Because the pain in my side gets SO bad (really sometimes I can't function, and I absolutely thought I was dying), I am hesitant to do the gluten challenge.  Would it make sense to take the test, and if it's negative, then consider doing the challenge and seeing if I can deal with eating the bread every day? Thanks again!

      For me, with osteoporosis, Celiac and more than 1 heart condition, the slower, safer route is preferable.  I'm on 5 meds per day.  Too much of anything can disturb absorption of this or that. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.  I'm gone for a few days.
