I recently switched from the regular sized Altoids to the mini's that they sell at Target, cuz I like the way they fit into my purse. I've been eating them on and off for MONTHS, and just last night decided to turn over the box and read the ingredients and sure enough...WHEAT maltodextrin. I've been having headaches and insomnia all week and now I know why! Just wanted to warn others so no one else makes my mistake!! :blink:

I'm wondering what flavor you had. I don't recall my simply mint or wintergreen ones listing wheat but maybe I was being stupid.

I used to rely on Altoids for my horrible nausea before I found out I had celiac. After I found out, I called Altoids, which are made by Wrigleys, and all Wrigleys products are gluten free except the Altoids minis and chocolate covered Altoids.

I think they were wintergreen...I've seen online where they simply put "maltodextrin", but my box definitely said "wheat maltodextrin".

Oh and they are altoids smalls, not minis. Got my words mixed up

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Jay Heying · Posted

      Hello everyone, this my first time to this website and I need some help. I’m 65 years old and have been living with Celiacs for about 15 years. My doctor has suggested I start taking a probiotic named  Integrative Pro-Flora-Concentrae. Has anyone else used this probiotic specifically? If this one isn’t celiac friendly can you recommend another please. Thank you.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      If a Celiac person is successful in following a gluten-free diet, they can go into remission.   They may not have a reaction to gluten without a precipitating event like an injury or infection or even emotional or mental stress.   Following a strict gluten-free diet at home, then indulging in gluten containing products abroad without a reaction can be explained by this remission.
