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! :)

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
