Mentos originate in the netherlands. It is much more likely to find wheat based glucose syrup in candies made in Europe and the UK than in the US. Mentos have never been gluten free, and the company does state that. I would not worry about random sources of glucose syrup with US based companies, but anything outside of the US I have suspicions of.

Uncle Ben's - Per customer representative in June, 2005, the following UNCLE BEN'S Brand Products are gluten free (free from wheat, rye, oats, and barley):
* Uncle Bens Original Converted Brand Rice
* Uncle Bens Instant Rice
* Uncle Bens Whole Grain Brown Rice
* Uncle Bens Instant Brown Rice
* Uncle Bens Boil-in-Bag Rice
* Uncle Bens Long Grain and Wild Rice (discard seasoning packet)
* Uncle Bens Ready Rice Original Long Grain
* Uncle Bens Ready Rice Whole Grain Brown
* Uncle Bens Ready Rice Spanish Rice
Minute Rice and Uncle Ben's are also now owned by Kraft.
The nutritional content of this precooked proccessed stuff is pretty suspect though. My rice cooker is my best friend. You can get them for about twenty bucks, pretty much anywhere. Target, Kmart, walmart, etc.
In my opinion, its actually even easier than making Uncle Bens.
Add water, add rice, turn on, walk away, come back, eat. All you need is counter space.

I had an appendectomy when I was 14, because of debilitating stomach cramps and fever.
Nothing was found to be wrong with my appendix.
No tonsil problems.

Corn is heavily subsidized by the government here, which is why most of our products in the US are made from corn based syrups and starches.
