Sensodyne Toothpaste By Glaxosmithkline

Well, with each passing day I find more an more things that I have thought were safe and I find they are poisoning us.

I called 1-866-844-2797 besides being left on hold for 30 minutes a woman came on that wasn't as nice as I had expected. I asked about the ingredients, and she said I can read you the label. I said I can do that, I ask her to explain to me what the words all ment.

I explained I had food allergies and be came reactive when using their product.

She told me that GlaxoSmithKline can NOT guarantee it does not contain GLUTEN, CORN or SOY.

BEWARE OF SENSODYNE TOOTHPASTE!

I explained how we (Celiac) consumers have started a grass roots movement for change. And how I will post these new finding for millions to read. I shamed them being a drug company and putting ingredients in the products that make us sick. I brought up the fact of the Mc Donald's suit how the company lied to the consumers, and how more companies should explect more suits. And how we are also going to fight to get drug labeling laws so we know what the drug companies are poising us with.

She didn't want to listen and said "I got your point I have to hang up now."

I admire your determination. On the behalf of parents with children on restricted diets, or anyone with restricted diets that can't find 30 minutes to stay on hold, THANK YOU!! Thank you for your input and research that you share with the forum. You have helped so much.

They have always said that their toothpaste has gluten in it - no surprise there. No company will universally eliminate all the items *you* (or any other single person) is intolerant of.

(Personally, I don't want them to eliminate corn in everything. It would drive up prices unnecessarily, and the vast majority of people can tolerate it just fine.)

There are many other toothpastes - including sensitive toothpastes (which I use) - that are safe for us to use. (Well, I admit to not knowing about the corn part, just the gluten and dairy.)

I have switched to AQUA FRESH and have not been reactive from it... The company said they don't use gluten, soy or corn.

Anyone know if there is a thread of 'safe' toothpaste and mouthwash already?

Or what is everyone else using that is free of gluten, soy and corn?

Well said, Tiffany. And no reason for us to piss of all these companies unnecessarily. Especially when they didn't lie about their ingredients and didn't market it as gluten-free to celiacs (or to celiacs at all).

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
