Dear Mr. Trent,

Thank you for contacting us regarding Sensodyne® toothpaste.

Although we do not add gluten to any of our Sensodyne® products, our raw materials

suppliers could not guarantee that they are gluten-free. Therefore, Sensodyne® may

contain trace amounts of gluten.

If you are looking for a sensitive toothpaste that is gluten-free, you may want to try

Aquafresh® Sensitive® Maximum Strength toothpaste, which is completely gluten-free.

We appreciate your taking the time to contact us.

Sincerely,

Sharon

GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare

Sounds like it might not cause problems unless a person is particularly sensitive to gluten, although I know its not smart for any Celiac to knowingly expose themselves to any amount of gluten. You know, I wonder if Celiacs would just rinse with water after using this product if it would be ok for all. As long as it didn't make it into the gut I think it wouldn't cause a problem.
