Hi there - just had my biopsy and Gastrointologist said to start eating GF based on what he saw already. I'm trying to make the best of it but I happen to be doing well with weight loss with things like gum and tic tacs....Now what?? Just saw tic tacs have maltodextrin?? Help! I know it'll be okay with just water but anyone have brand names for suckers? Thanks...

    If it says maltodextrin (made from corn) you're ok...otherwise, stay clear of maltodextrin.....I don't know about suckers...but as for candies, I know smarties are gluten free....not sure if that will help any though :(

    From what I've read, if the Maltodextrin that is used is wheat based, it has to state that. For the most part maltodextrin is made of corn, its not usually wheat based in the US/Canada. It is in Europe though I believe.
