Help
Ive been gluten-free for 2 months and have seen some improvements. I have replaced all of my toiletries with gluten-free. Confirmed my "natural" toothpaste was gluten free. Soap, etc., etc. But I forget to check my dental floss. I use "Reach" by Johnson & Johnson.
I now know I can switch to Tom's of Main or Crest as they state all of their products are gluten free.
But I hope "Reach" doesnt have it.
Anyone?

If it is just plain floss with no flavors you should be fine. If it is flavored I would be tempted to just go buy one that is unflavored.
Glad you are improving

I can almost feel the sigh in the last line. You should give yourself credit for being as safe as you can be. It is always better to err on the side of caution and you are helping yourself immensely by doing so. Soon you will be feeling better and all this hassle will be second nature.
