i noticed some time back that every time i flossed i had flushing, shortness of breath and oddly, a rotten taste in my mouth. i googled it and saw many have trouble with mint. i bought reach unflavoured, but i'm scared to use it. anyone have completely unflavoured safe flosses they use?

Hiya, yeah, I can't stomach anything minty, even floss, but that's stomach hyperacidity, not a mast cell reaction. So my floss, my toothpaste, any gels, etc. as well as all food and drink are mint free.

But not sure why you'd be scared of mint free?
