I have always been a major gum chewer... I work with clients all day long and my breath has to be fresh... anyone know if sugar free chewing gum like trident or orbit (my favs) are gluten free? I can't tell by the ingredients they list... all tech names.

I'm pretty sure almost all Wrigley gums are gluten-free. I chew Winterfresh...and then also Altoids.

Thanks for bringing this up. I miss chewing gum too...I assumed it was all kind of starched up in something glutinous, since you can see something powdery on most chewing gum. I've avoided it all since February, and I was just wondering last night if there were any safe chewing gums! I want some...gonna go buy some today!!!!

I was finally able to find this in a health food store a couple of towns up. The owner had to order the Peppermint for me. Just got it--haven't tried it yet :)

Hmm....I have a wire retainer thing on the back of my teeth and it doesn't stick to that. I don't chew it that often though (but I do like it. it's good stuff :) )

I don't chew any gum, but I'm a big mint fan. Tic-Tacs are gluten-free:) I could not survive w/out them.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      After I get the endoscopy done, I’ll try to be in gluten-free diet even if I test negative for celiac disease or NCGS to avoid any complications. It does suck because I love wheat breads and Indian breads like rotis and naans, lol. I guess I have to jump to gluten-free options for those. Again, thanks for all your help.

      Gluten migranes at night

      Welcome to Celiac.com, @Debado, Migraines at night can be caused by high levels of histamine. Histamine Intolerance can cause physical symptoms like migraines. Foods contain histamine. Our bodies make histamine, an important neurotransmitter. Our bodies naturally produce more histamine at night as part of our circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake...

      A video with researcher William Parker about Helminthic Therapy

      Parker didn't exactly go out of his way to sell Helminthic Therapy in this video, did he? In other videos online he's very much positive towards HT, especially Inflammatory Bowel Disease and MS. Acetaminophen is on the list of World Health Organization's Essential Medicines, yet according to Wikipedia it also is responsible for thousands of emergency...

      What should I do with these test results?

      @Jack Common, You could do a DNA test to see if you have any of the known genes for Celiac Disease. If you don't have any genes for celiac disease, look to another source for your health problems. If you do have celiac disease genes and have improvement on the gluten free diet, you probably have active Celiac. Further testing would be beneficial. ...

      @Jack Common, You could do a DNA test to see if you have any of the known genes for Celiac Disease.  If you don't have any genes for celiac disease, look to another source for your health problems.  If you do have celiac disease genes and have improvement on the gluten free diet, you probably have active Celiac.  Further testing would be beneficial. Keep in mind that different gluten containing breads have different amounts of gluten.  Think thick chewy pizza crust and artisan breads, and whole wheat breads for the gluten challenge.  Cookies and pastries do not contain as much gluten.   Since your blood tests were inconclusive, continuing with the gluten challenge may be needed to provoke a stronger autoimmune reaction sufficient for antibodies to get into the blood stream.

      Eye irritation 2.5 months into gluten free diet

      By dirkmatthews · Posted

      I found out I had celiac because of eye problems. I developed an eye irritation that was sensitive to light, pressure, and red. My eye doctor said I had iritis, an inflammation of the iris. The treatment was prednisone drops. This is a common symptom related to ankylosing spondylitis, a form of arthritis that runs in my family. My doctor wanted to start me on immunosuppressants, but I refused due to side effects. I tried a few anti-inflammatory diets and found the specific carb diet helped, which led my doctor to test me for celiac, which was positive. Now I know when I get glutened because I have a flare up of my iritis. I call it my canary in a coal mine. First the eye, then the arthritis flare up begins.

      Importance/Necessity of a gluten-free kitchen??

      By RMJ · Posted

      Soap, water and scrubbing won’t “kill” gluten, but it will physically remove it if done well if you also add a thorough rinse step.
