<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Just to update you. One person who responded told me that dried papaya is sprinkled with wheat flour to prevent sticking. So the lesson here is to read all ingredients before eating. (Nothing new to us, right?) I just wanted all to know, so you can avoid getting sicker on a remedy. Thanks again for all the responses. I'm learning so much from you people. Doris
