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.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
