Anyone know if glee gum is gluten free? I bought it at whole foods or trader joes, i don't see anything suspicious but i figured id just double check...

Ooops I dont know how to delete that late post but i just found the website....

I assume it doesn't have aspartame or splenda but does someone who has the gum confirm this?

also, does it taste any good and does it last compared to regular gum? I had some peelu gum I tried for a little while that tasted okay but the taste died fast and the gum broke apart... had to stop using it cause soy lecithin was in it anyway..

Not from a gluten perspective. Splenda and aspartame can be pretty bad from some other perspectives though B)

Glee gum is "all natural" and does not contain those things. It does have lecithin in it though.

Ingredients: CANE SUGAR, GLUCOSE, GUMBASE (CONTAINS NATURAL CHICLE), RICE SYRUP, GUM ARABIC, PEPPERMINT OIL, RESINOUS GLAZE, LECITHIN, BEESWAX, CARNAUBA WAX, AND CHLOROPHYLL.

isn't lecithin and soy lecithin the same thing? is there some other type of lecithin? I figured the gum didn't have lecithin when I saw it was soy free in the original post unless there are multiple flavors...

I believe they're allowed to say soy free, even if something contains lecithin, because most people with soy allergies don't react to lecithin. I'm not sure if there's another type of lecithin though.

I emailed them about the soy, and they said that there is no soy lecithin in either the cinnamon or the tangerine gums. It is however in the peppermint flavor.

Patti - the whole foods I go to (middletown) doesn't have it either. But I found it at some random health foods place in little silver. If you go to the glee gum website, they have a Open Original Shared Link. A number of the stores I found on that link didn't carry it, but I found one that did. Also not a bad way to find other places that might carry gluten-free and organic foods.

Charlie--Thank you so much! There is a store in Cinnaminson that I'm going to call tomorrow--that's not far from here at all. Never knew they were there--like you said, a new place to find gluten free foods. :D Thanks again :)

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If your tTg-IgA was 28 and positive is at 3, you are nearly 10x over the positive marker, so the most likely explanation by far would be celiac disease. I also do not understand why your doctor would not want to run the blood test, which is the normal first step in the diagnosis process.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      By trents · Posted

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 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. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352
