I posted the question of whether maltitol, the sweetener, is derived from
gluten-containing products.

Two people suggested that I go to this site

The above link redirected me here <http://www.celiac.com/safe_forbidden.html>


One person said
>Maltitol is a sugar alcohol, not from "malt" as the name might suggest.
>I consider it safe for celiac disease.

And here's a helpful note about using Maltitol.

Seems to me that should be a consideration for lots of us.

Thanks everyone.
