Crest Pro Health Rinse

I don't recall seeing a discussion on mouthwash, but am fairly new to the site, so there may have been one and I missed it. Following is the response that I got back from Crest on their Pro Health Rinse:

"Our Crest raw material ingredients are proprietary and aren't shared outside the company. Since you're sensitive to gluten, you may not want to use Crest Pro Health Rinse."

Has anyone gotten any different response from Crest, or is there a mouthwash out there that is gluten-free?

Thanks!

Tom

Alot of the Listerine mouthwashes are gluten free. I use FreshBurst and was told that it is gluten free. I use it with no problems.

They do say their products are gluten free but that they can't guarantee that there was no cross contamination

(this is a standard response from companies to cover their butt)

You may want to check the Delphi List under Health and Beauty Products because that should have information as well on mouthwashes.

On the Crest website though it tells you that NO current Crest products contain gluten:)

When the Crest Pro Rinse came out several months ago, we called Crest and got the same answer. So we don't use this stuff.

I just tried using it, have not eaten out in two weeks, only eat fresh meat fruits vegetables and a few dedicated products. Accidentally swallowed a little, and had a very severe gluten reaction to the mouthwash, I'm sure.

Is Crest toothpaste bad too? If so what are the safe toothpastes?

I don't know the answer to whether crest is gluten-free but I use Tom's of Maine. I like the cinnamint. The package breaks down where all the ingredients come from and as far as I know all their toothpastes are gluten free.

My bad but could someone list the mainstream companies that offer gluten free toothpaste and mouthwash, thanks in advance.

Tom's of Maine should be available everywhere, in mainstream grocery stores. They make both toothpaste and mouthwash. I don't know exactly what you mean by "mainstream" but unless you mean "not made from natural ingredients" I would consider Tom's to be mainstream. ;)

Mainstream in this context refers to the products that most consumers (the masses) buy. Something you would find at Wal-Mart or Target would be considered mainstream, something you could find in almost every state for example. Crest, Colgate, Aquafresh...

Was sick for a week straight. The only thing I did different was use the Crest Pro Health Rinse. When I called them they informed me that "though they do not put gluten in the product, they do not test" nor do they ask the suppliers for that product. She did tell me that other than the Pro Health, their toothpastes are gluten free.

I have an 2008 email from ACT Restore, confirming that their products are gluten free.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
