Trident Gum In The Eu

Hi there,

I researched and seen many places stating that all Trident Gums are gluten free. But I also found a few (very few actually) forum posts where people complaint about Trident.

Today I had just 2 of those (Trident Fresh to be precise), and i had a "flare up" almost instantly.

Is everyone SURE it's gluten free?

I used to buy their "Dental+" brand before and I never had problems with it (or if I did I don't remember or didn't associate the problems with it). But today with "Trident Fresh - Spearmint" I had problems. Not much of GI symptoms... but I guess most of you know what I am talking about. I am at a point where I can feel when I'm glutened. And I'm sure I was. But I'd like to sort out which ingredient made me have a reaction.

I am thinking about Gum Base.

Here's why:

Open Original Shared Link

They claim: "A non-adhesive chewing gum base comprising a gluten component and a tannin which promotes cross-linking among gluten proteins forming said gluten component."

I guess I also seen this "Gum base" listed somewhere on Celiac.com.

So, in your opinion... is this it? I also found Maltitol there, but I guess this is on our safe side if i am not mistaken.

I found many pages claiming that Trident was gluten free but, is the composition the same in Europe and the US?

70% of the internet is of the US heheh. And it never hurts to ask!

Thanks a lot boys and gals!

Hi-I am such a gum girl and have really missed my gum. I to read about gum base and it is in all gums ;o( I found last night on the front page to Celiac where you can purchase food and there is a new gluten-free gum. It has gum base but the state that it is natural so I guess it makes some difference???? Anyway, thought I would pass that on. I think it is only around 1.00 for a pack....Liv :D

I chewed Trident once since going gluten free and felt sick afterward. Never chewed any gum since.

I chew Trident without issues. Many people do on this forum, I believe. I recall reading that one of their Whitening ones is not glutenfree.

Maltitol is a laxative, could it be that you felt the effects of that?

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy. Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope. Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine? Were...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
