Cool.........all flavors, Richard, or just wintergreen?

I looked up the ingredients and this site says they do indeed contain wheat Open Original Shared Link

Maybe that explains why I still feel sick when I've eliminated all other gluten from my diet 

Please let me know if I'm wrong

First, you are responding to an over 10 year old topic.  Ingredients change over time.

 

Second from your own link - they clearly state that they DO NOT contain wheat.

I called wrigley (nabisco first, but they told me they don't make lifesavers). They said  only the skittles and starburst are certified gluten-free. However there is no wheat products in their facility so of the light savers by default would be gluten-free but they cannot state that they're certified gluten-free. They are however genetically engineered so you may not be getting gluten, but you are getting GMO's (round-up).
