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!

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
