Gluten Free Breath Fresheners?

Can anyone recommend a good breath freshener? I was using tic tacs but these have gluten in them. What do you guys use? I saw a thread where a guy said skittles are gluten free so that should be great.

The bigger the brand the better guys.

Thanks

Altoids. They even help soothe my stomach on bad days!

Eclipse mints. They taste great and they don't leave a funky taste in your mouth.

What ingredient in Tic Tacs contains gluten? I read the ingredients again and don't see it. I've been letting my daughter have them and she is allergic to both wheat and gluten. :(

The last time I talked to Skittles manufacturer on the phone, they told me all Skittles were gluten-free except for the mint ones.

I would go with the Altoids, although I hear some sizes of them are not gluten-free. They are labeled, though.

I'm not sure mate. I remember reading it somewhere but I can't find any info on the tic tacs site or an email address I can talk to. Let me know if you find anything because I'd love to know.

Well, maybe your source was wrong? I can't see anything on the package that would lead me to believe there is gluten in them.

Re. Altoids: I think it's the "small" having wheat. I know that they have artificial sweetners in the gums.

Open Original Shared Link - I would never trust wikipedia as the final word on gluten-free, but I think this is copied off packaging and probably answer basic question. PLEASE CHECK packaging!

I was so excited to find these were gluten-free! It was one of those happy moments when some little something you relied in life-PCD is ok! :)

      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

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      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".

      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 t...

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      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.
