Tic Tac


KAG

Recommended Posts

Okay,

I am very confused. I have tried searching tic tacs and I cannot tell if people have problems with tic tacs or not. I think I definitely have a problem with tic tacs. Are they gluten free or is it something else that is bothering me?

I don't know if they are gluten free or not. But, I am almost positive they contain sorbitol, which can make people's intestines spaz out.

I'd stick with altoids. Gluten Free, no sorbitol, and the oil of peppermint is good for calming your intestines.

Not all altoids are gluten free. For example, the smalls contain "wheat maltodextrin."

Thanks, that makes sense. Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy, not knowing what is bothering me. I think that my intestines were spazing out.

I feel like I'm having a problem with Tic Tacs right now, feeling depressed.

Maybe it is the food coloring? I had the spearmint ones, which have Yellow and Blue food coloring?

Somebody in the past posted that Tic Tacs were not gluten-free but when I asked which ingredient was the culprit, they never responded. I see nothing that looks like gluten and I don't think they contain sorbitol. My daughter eats the fruit flavored ones with no problems.

i eat the orange flavored tic tacs and they never seem to give me a problem. (and i am VERY gluten sensative)...but i know if i eat to many at once then they do make me sick. but i don't see anything in the ingredients that looks suspicious

I had issues with them as well (the white ones). But for me, I think it's whatever sweeteners they use, as I've also had issues with other brands of breath mints..........

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
