I thought I read somewhere that adheasives on bandaids and such have gluten in it. Is this true? I react strongly. It's not the latex, because I react to papertape and latex free bandages as well.

I react to paper tape with a systemic hive-type reaction. Don't know why.

I am very sensitive to any type of adhesive. I have pulled up skin when trying to remove bandages. When I go to the doctor and they have to place a bandage, I usually ask that they just put the cotton and allow me to hold it a while. I am thankful I'm not a free bleeder.

Gluten in adhesives is a story that comes up over and over. However, I have never seen a case where it was actually shown that an adhesive did, in fact, contain gluten. I'm not saying it isn't possible, just that I have never seen it actually happen.

It's highly unlikely, in my opinion, that bandaids contain gluten. Reactions to latex or the adhesive are common though.

Some one could contact Johnson & Johnson and put an end to this legend.

I don't react to latex, but blister from any type of adhesive (including

hypo-allergenic paper tape). I just sent an email to Band-Aid, - I'll let

you know if they respond.

      Chicken Thighs

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @BeeBarnard! I really can't imagine how either skin or skinless chicken thighs could not be gluten free unless one or the other were treated with some seasoning ingredient that was not gluten free. Do the product labels indicate any additional ingredients added to the meat? Is your daughter a super sensitive celiac? If not, the amount of gluten cross contamination found in seasonings is usually inconsequential.

      Chicken Thighs

      By BeeBarnard · Posted

      HI, My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac and I would like to make her some chicken soup (she's got he flu). I found all gluten free ingredients but I'm having trouble with the chicken. I purchased Purdue bone-in chicken thighs from BJ's Wholesale Club. Purdue says that they are gluten free but the BJ's website says no. It seems like skin-on chicken is not, but skinless is. Does this seem accurate? Thank you

They had other appies to choose from so all's well that ends well. The Costco scallops are excellent but 4 x the price. Thanks!

      Perimenopause/menopause

      By Celiacandme · Posted

      Hello there, it's been ages since I signed into this account. Wanted to see if there were other celiac patients that have gone through perimenopause/menopause and chose to take estrogen or wear an estrogen patch? I know all of our bodies are different but curious how it went or is going for you. Thanks so much.

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.
