Hi all, can anyone recommend a safe gum or breath mint that I can get in Atlantic Canada? Preferably without Aspartame...

Thanks! :)

I use Altoids. I know they are gluten-free although I read somewhere that their gum is NOT gluten-free.

Here is a list from delphi:

I have not tried any gum as I don't really like gum.......

Altoids is made by Kraft and they have a very good policy of listing gluten.....

A favorite of mine is now off-limits, Xylichew. I am hypoglycemic and so don't use sugared gums, nor can I use artificial sweeteners. Xylichew is sweetened with xylitol. I wrote the company and here's the response:

Our chewing gum is not 100% guaranteed gluten free. When I contacted our manufacturer they let me know that they knew that nearly all ingredients were gluten free however there were a couple that they could not say for sure.  I'm not aware of them using their machinery to manufacture items with gluten in them so it's hard for me to say.  If you have any other questions please let me know.

So this was a major disappointment for me. I'm going to check on Peelu, the other one I like to use, but if no on that, I think I'm out of luck on gum.

I know this is an old thread, but just FYI Trident gum is gluten-free, according to their website.

I've asked about this on another celiac list and was told to avoid "sorbitol", I guess because it has gluten in it? But, I thought I saw sorbitol in the ingrediens list for Altoids. does anyone know about sorbitol, or if altoids are or are not gluten free?

thank you -- susan flinn

sorbitol is a sugar. it is not associated with gluten.

I have only used Spry mints and gum exclusive for the past 3 years. Sugar Free, and Gluten Free. I gotta say out of all the mints they offer I love the lemon, berry, and cinnamon mints over the wintergreen, spearmint, and peppermint. You can buy them in bulk cheap and get like a couple  month supply that way also.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
