I've recently added to the list of things I am intolerant to...so far it includes gluten, dairy, soy, and corn. So now I'm discovering that corn is in EVERYTHING! So I'm looking for new toothpaste and mouthwash especially but also lotion, shampoo, and those kinds of things. Does anyone have any recommendations?

(I did get some new toothpaste but it tastes so bad I can't even use it :P )

You'll find a number of people here with the same allergies (and more) that you have. The best route to go is the most natural. (Heck, baking soda as toothpaste works and you can flavor it with a number of things, even sweeten it with xylitol or stevia if you want to, and, actually, baking soda to wash your hair, then apple cider vinegar (after the soda's been rinsed out) as a conditioner, is actually quite effective. Hydrogen peroxide is very good as a mouthwash (ask your dentist). And jojoba oil makes a good skin moisturizer.) But others will have plenty of advice on specific items that are free of those ingredients. (I only avoid gluten/dairy and minimize soy, and cook from scratch most of the time, so am minimally helpful.)

Oh, I'm so sorry. I don't have any recommendations for you though. My aunt's dog is allergic to almost all meat and corn too. Even though its not the same, a dog and a human.

It really gets so much better, once you eliminate all those nasty foods that have been making you sick. Corn is litterally in EVERYTHING - hopefully you are not too intolerant. I can have some, like my meds, but I try to keep it out of everything else. Like at home I use a sea salt without the anticaking agent (corn derived) so it you have to bang the shaker before you use it but it tastes better and you can use less. But, in public, I use regular salt.

This forum is for people who are very sensitive or allergic

very good but I don't have to avoid Klenex because it is in there. Either way, this is a great place to ask questions.

Some, not all, citric acid is derived from corn and if you don't want to call the company, which I don't usually do, I try the russian rullet method - if it makes me sick, it is probably the bad citric acid and I give it to the kids or hubby who don't have these restrictions.

Now, most lotions have soy so really watch those. Puffs plus (with lotion) has soy. Dove soap with moisturiser has soy - used it once, remembered to read the bottle because I couldn't figure out why I was sick that day, and 'lo and behold, bad stuff. I am currently using Oil of Olay with ribbons - blue because the pink had something bad for me in it.

When eating out, make sure you can find a place that is willing to cook for you in a skillet with olive oil or another oil that you can eat - just never, never veggie oil--you would be surprised at the number of places actually willing to cook for us, you just have to look for them and be willing to pay the price.

I would recommend finding a excellent practitioner in Bio-Set and treat those other allergies....I was a walking allergy billboard before I did this. Now I can eat just about anything I desire but of course it does NOT do anything for celiacs so no wheat for me.......

If you want to know more you can pm me.

I use Gleem toothpaste--it's a very old toothpaste. I have used it my entire life and I am old :lol: ! I can't have corn, soy, rice, the glutens, of course, and nightshades, and and and!!!!!!!! I too can tolerate small amounts of corn, like in my meds and such.....the gleem doesn't bother me. Here on Long Island, I have found my gleem in the Dollar Store, yet Waldbaums (A&P) carries it and sometimes IGA. I use Pantene shampoo, Soapsoft Liquip Shower Soap, and I do use some Bath and Body Works lotions--I just am very careful about the ingredients in anything I buy. Any soy in a product and I will get a nasty rash--so that product is easy for me to detect!

for toothpaste have you tried baking soda? does not taste the best but works great. Also if you brush with nothing then do a peroxide rinse, then brush with the baking soda it works great.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
