Gluten Free Toothpaste

Recommended Posts

I have been having some significant issues with mouth burning.  Originally thought to be a yeast infection has not cleared with the appropriate treatments.  New doctor now thinks it's not a yeast infection.  I am starting to think that perhaps I should change my toothpaste. 

 

Are manufacturers required to label gluten that occurs in toothpaste in the same way as food labels?  I have checked my toothpaste and nothing stands out as containing gluten however I was sure if they were required to label it.  Do you all have a recommended toothpaste that you know is gluten free?

 

I am also thinking that I would want one that is non-whitening.  I have heard that whitening toothpastes can contain chemicals that may produce some sensitivitiy. 

 

Doctor is also looking at Vitamin deficiencies, i.e. Vit B12 specifically as that can cause mouth/tongue burning. 

 

Just wondered what you all had to recommend about toothpaste however. 

 

Thanks

We use Green Beaver toothpaste.

 

We also will periodically use bentonite clay paste.

 

Good luck

I have never seen a toothpaste with gluten.  But my son finds that sulphites make his mouth burn.  He uses a brand named Jason's.  I think there are otheres - maybe Tom's?

I was using Earthpaste before I started just making my own. I'm not a fan of SLS in my toothpaste because of how it makes my mouth feel.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
