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?

      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.

      Am I nuts?

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.
