Altoids Dark Chocolate Dipped Creme De Menthe

Wrigley is typically good at ingredient labeling.

The ingredients for this product are:

Semisweet chocolate (suger, cocoa liquor processed with alkali, cocoa butter, soy (lecithin, natural vanilla flavor),sugar, natural and artificial flavors, acacia, gelatin, confectioner's glaze, corn syrup, and modified corn starch.

It does contain the warning; "Made on equipment that also processes peanuts, tree nuts, milk, and wheat.

My understanding of Wrigley is that they label very well, and they have strict equipment cleaning policies/procedures.

There is a myriad of products that many of us consume that are processed on shared equipment - particularly when we eat at restaurants (I only visit four myself).

My question isn't that of risk - I understand that - my question is if anyone out there eats these particular altoids (Dark Chocolate Dipped Creme De Menthe) and if so, has anyone had any reactions or problems with them?

I've never tried them. I eat regular altoids all the time. I was hoping someone would respond to you because they sound good and I want to eat them. I found this online, but you seem to already know this much anyway. So yeah, if anyone has an answer to if these have been 'safe' when eaten or not, let us know!

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
