Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate - Have You Ever Had A Problem?

I'm feeling pretty awful today and have not had anything out of the ordinary. I did, however, chew nearly an entire pack of Orbit Tropical Remix (I admit to a gum addiction :) )! The ingredients seemed safe but I did see, after my syptoms started occurring, that one of them "Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate" may contain gluten, according to this site. Has anyone ever had an issue with this before? Other than the gum I've had an apple, nestle instant breakfast (sugarfree vanilla) - drink this regularly, and a theraflu packet today.

Thanks for any insight :)

I have been chewing Orbit peppermint gum for years without any problems, but a few days ago I opened a new pack of "Orbit Strawberry Remix," thinking that all Orbit gums are gluten-free, and now I have had a stomachache for 3 days. I have probably chewed 2 pieces a day for the past few days.

I emailed Wrigley's to ask about this particular flavor. I'll let you know if I hear back from them.

Also, hydrogenated starch hydrosylate is definitely an ingredient in the Strawberry Remix flavor, but not the peppermint flavor. I'm thinking this ingredient must be the problem. I got really sick last summer after having bubble tea with this ingredient as well.

My advice is to stay away from HSH! Luckily, plenty of Orbit gum flavors don't have it.

Good luck!

      Chicken Thighs

      By BeeBarnard · Posted

      HI, My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac and I would like to make her some chicken soup (she's got he flu). I found all gluten free ingredients but I'm having trouble with the chicken. I purchased Purdue bone-in chicken thighs from BJ's Wholesale Club. Purdue says that they are gluten free but the BJ's website says no. It seems like skin-on chicken is not, but skinless is. Does this seem accurate? Thank you

They had other appies to choose from so all's well that ends well. The Costco scallops are excellent but 4 x the price. Thanks!

      Perimenopause/menopause

      By Celiacandme · Posted

      Hello there, it's been ages since I signed into this account. Wanted to see if there were other celiac patients that have gone through perimenopause/menopause and chose to take estrogen or wear an estrogen patch? I know all of our bodies are different but curious how it went or is going for you. Thanks so much.

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.
