If envelopes comtain gluten in the glue stuff; do post it notes (3M and others make it) and stamps have gluten in them?

Andrew,

I'm not sure that all stamps and envelopes have gluten in the adnesive, it's just that some of them do, so they are all considered risky. Self-adhesive stamps and envelopes, (and post-it notes), shouldn't carry any risk, since they don't require licking to activate the adhesive. Here are some other things that may contain gluten:
