Go Smile Toothpaste...

Hi everyone.

Well, I've been feeling so good this past week, except for a couple of little things that I noticed came back, but just a little bit.

This weird headache that I get when I eat gluten, where if I touch the right side of my head, even a piece of my hair, I get a sharp nauseating pain in the left side of my head. Well, it's back.......and I haven't changed my diet. I eat whole foods only these days. I'm very careful. The only thing that I can think of that I DID switch was my toothpaste for one day. My fiance's cousin was doing this promotion with GO Smile Toothpaste....kind of like a gourmet toothpaste. I think they may even just sell it in New York at like Sax Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor, dept. stores like that. Annnyway, I thought I would give it a try because his cousin told me it's like "dessert in the morning" it's tastes so good! (that alone should have told me NO)

Anyway, I looked over the ingrediants, and I didn't see anything that stood out. It didn't even say "flavor" or natural or artificial anything. But it DID say sorbitol. So I'm wondering, could this sorbitol possibly be derived from gluten grains? I know that I can't have candy these days, even the gluten free kind though, so maybe I just can't have the "sorbitol" derived from corn either.........?

Anyone else have this strange problem with sorbitol? Or could I be getting my reaction from something totally different?

Thanks!

These are the ingrediants listed:

lemonade toothpaste ingredients:

Sorbitol, Purified Water, Hydrated Silica, Glycerin, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Essential Oil of Lemon, Sodium Monofluorphosphate, Cellulose Gum, Lemon Extract, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Saccharin, Titanium Dioxide , White Cranberry Powder

Maybe cross contamination of another flavor, too.......

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.
