Dental Floss

Any one ever heard of buying gluten free dental floss (or researching it)?  I was just thinking the other day about things I put in my mouth and that is one of them! I don't get a lot of quick symptoms (most of mine are arthritis/anemia) so it would be difficult to know if I was getting glutened or why

Any thoughts?

Because of my many dental issues due to Celiac and Sjogren's, I am an avid flosser.  What I learned is that even the flavored dental floss is perfectly safe for us.  The only issue would be flavorings used like the mint floss, of which I use every day. Flavorings can but rarely do contain gluten.  According to Celiac Disease experts, chances of there being gluten in dental floss flavorings is almost nil.  So, I use the flavored ones and in 12 years, never had any issues at all.  I hope this helps!

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      Be careful with C supplementation. It's ascorbic "acid". Too much can cause stomach and gut irritation.

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      Thanks, @trents, lactose intolerance is different than a reaction to casein. Consuming casein could be causing that continuing antibody reaction causing localized inflammation. Still worth trying a diet without it. Since you mentioned your father passing, you may want to add Benfotiamine. Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine Vitamin B 1 that has been...

      Thanks, @trents, lactose intolerance is different than a reaction to casein.  Consuming casein could be causing that continuing antibody reaction causing localized inflammation.  Still worth trying a diet without it. Since you mentioned your father passing, you may want to add Benfotiamine.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine Vitamin B 1 that has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Tryptophan is helpful, too.  Tryptophan is derived from Niacin Vitamin B 3, and helps repair the intestinal tract.  Tryptophan works well with the amino acid Theanine.  So all three help immensely.   We need additional thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill and exercise a lot  or do physical labor.  The brain uses the most thiamine of any organ, twenty percent of intake!   What's your fruity probiotic?
