Toothpast, Dental Floss, Dill Pickles ;o)

I wonder if there are any toothpasts or dental flosses that have gluten in them/on them?

Or all they all safe?

Also, does anyone know of any dill pickles that are gluten free?

Thanks!

Crest toothpaste is gluten free. I know there is at least one that's not, maybe Sensodyne??? I'm not positive. Oral-B will NOT gaurantee that their products are gluten free, so I personally stear clear. As for pickels, I know there are safe ones, but I can't think of brand names right now.

I find it so hard to stay clear of Gluten. I haven't done this more than 4 months but I feel gluten is hidden in so much stuff it isn't even funny.

Okay, so Crest is safe.

I might have been glutened myself with toothpast too so far.. :huh:

Thanks for the reply!

I get canker sores sometimes and try to use toothpast without the sulfates. I guess I should stop using the Rembrandts one then (Oral-B brand).

There is another one but I don't know the name now...

I will get back on that.

Thanks again. :)

Last I heard Vlasic, Claussen and Mt. Olive are all gluten-free - except Mt. Olive's hot dog relish, sweet India relish and sugar free gherkins.

Colgate will not guarantee gluten-free. <_<

I emailed Rembrandts but since their website isn't even up an running yet I have no idea if/when they'll respond. Do you still have the box the toothpaste came in? If it has a 1-800# that would be the quickest way to be absolutely sure. :D

I have read before that Sensodyne may not be gluten-free. But I've never looked into it.

Colgate will not guarantee gluten-free.
Really? Where did you hear about that? That's what I'm using now! :o

Thanks for that list. I also think it may explain a lot. I didnt know Palmolive might not be gluten free. That is what I am using now! darn it. I was using Crest. Anyone know about Aqua Fresh?? We just bought it the other day and its all I have now.

I think I remember reading that Aquafresh is safe, I've used it with no problems, but I didn't used to be very sensitive, so... Who knows... I would call the number on the tube.

Yes, it's on the new Delphi list -

Aquafresh (Open Original Shared Link)

(vw=2/24/06)

“Aquafresh® toothpaste does not contain

gluten.”

I'm using Crest with no problems. But I might have had a reaction to Aquafresh. But now it might just be the vitamins I'm talking (Centrum mulitvitamin, anyone know if they are gluten-free?), so now I don't know if it was the toothpaste or the vitamins or both. :unsure:

I can't help but notice that Palmolive dish soap is not on this list. Does that mean that it's NOT gluten-free and they know it?

"However, we cannot guarantee that the ingredients used are not exposed to any glutens."

Folks this is your standard CYA. And think about it for a minute, what mainstream company can you name that actually GUARANTEES something is gluten-free? They can't unless they control every single step of the process for every single ingredient. Even then something could happen. There are no guarantees.

When you see statement like the one from Colgate, the product is absolutely safe unless somewhere an ingredient is accidentally contaminated. This is the same chance you take any time you eat or use a processed product. You take a much higher chance if you eat out.

Toothpaste is pretty much universally gluten-free. It's just not something to be concerned about.

"I can't help but notice that Palmolive dish soap is not on this list. Does that mean that it's NOT gluten-free and they know it?"

No, it most likely means nobody called Palmolive specifically before this list came out. The list is done completely by volunteers and there's no effort to call every company about every product.

I've never heard of a dish soap that has gluten.

I've been using Colgate since I was a kid. I'm not switching. I agree this is a CYA response. They just don't really know what gluten is imho... any time you use a processed prepackaged product you run the risk of cc even slight. I doubt seriously that toothpaste is an issue here.

I think this must be the first time in years I am not getting any canker sores in my mouth while using a sulfate containing tooth paste. :) Maybe it was the gluten.

Tom's of Maine is gluten-free and has all natural ingredients. Their dental floss as well. Seventh Generation dish soap is great, though a bit pricey, and it is not petroleum- based so much better for the environment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
