Recommended Posts

Hey guys, Ive Learned my Colgate, where it is gluten free, yet its not soy free, Id like not to have my teeth to rot out. I found I was having a soy reaction to the tooth paste. in search of anything at this point. Having a soy free diet has been a real challenge. Im at a point, I might try to figure out how to make the stuff from scratch. Im having to have my meds made from a compounding company, $1 a pill aint cheap on Ibuprofen.

You could always make your own toothpaste. There's lots of recipes for them on the internet.

I use Tom's of Maine. It's been fine.

Face Naturals makes 3 varieties of "tooth cleansers" that are completely free of soy, corn, gluten, etc. They're stuff is a bit pricier, but it's all natural and all organic, and their stuff lasts about a year. They also have a reward system, every time you order something you earn points that don't expire. It adds up, and you can use the points for money off of future orders. You might find other products on there as well. I've used their deodorant, chapstick, and other products - they are great. All of their products are allergen friendly and their customer service is great.

Also...I use Crest Pro Health, does that have soy in it? I didn't think so. I also need to avoid soy. I think the Tom's of Maine one I use occasionally is gluten/soy free as well. There are tons of natural toothpastes out there.

I just got a response from Colgate

 

Dear John:

Thank you for contacting us and asking about Colgate Toothpaste.

Colgate Toothpaste does not contain soy or soy proteins. ( So when they said no soy proteins, they mean soy Lecithin.)

We appreciate your interest in our products.

Sincerely,

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
