Help
Hello. I need to buy a new thing of toothpaste and I would like to know which ones are safe. I am currently outside of the country so I can't get the products you can buy in the heath food stores; don't let this discourage you from listing these because in January I will have access to them once again! I do need lists of more mainstream products though like Crest or Colgate, pretty much the big brands you can get in the regular grocery store.
Thanks

Crest and Colgate are both gluten free...I did read that Sensodyne can not verify their product is gluten-free, so they recommend we use another brand. I love Gleem, but am having a hard time finding it.

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!

Tom's of Maine- all varieties are gluten free. It took a little adjusting to (it doesn't have any artificial sweeteners like most toothpastes do, just real mint, cinnamon flavors, etc.) but now I love it and hate conventional toothpaste's!

Marcia-
Diagnosed Celiac based on equivocal results on blood seriology tests, did not have a biopsy due to already eating gluten free (I didn't know any better at the time to keep eating gluten until all tests could be done).
Diagnosis came 3 months after the birth of my first child at age 31 (I believe childbirth was my trigger).
Gluten Free since 8/06
Genetic testing revealed:
I have one copy of DQ2 (DQA1 05/DQB1 02)
Son- 3 years old, so far not showing any signs of digestive issues and does eat gluten- fingers crossed!
Second baby born after I have been gluten free for 2 1/2 years- a healthy boy weighing in at 9 pounds at birth!
