Does Anyone Have A List

Hello,

I keep reading posts here by people who say that they have had problems with such products as toothpastes or lotions containing gluten. I was wondering if there's a list that exists out there of all the "bad" toiletries that contain gluten? How does one figure out that there's gluten in their toothpaste?

Thank you...

angel

Sensodyne is the only toothpaste I've ever come across that has gluten.

The only way to REALLY know about gluten is to call the company (or to know that the company clearly lists gluten in the ingredients).

You call the company... :-( I found out the hard way about Sensodyne. As of two days ago, they're still saying "may contain traces of gluten". Bah!

Our family buys our household products from a catalog company that doesn't use chemicals. It requires a club membership but the household products are actually saving us money and we don't have to go to the store, it ships to our door.

I am currently using baking soda to brush my teeth. It cleans well, but I am wondering if it may be hard on the enamel. Any ideas about this? Also, I may not get by with soda for long because I have always used toothpastes that are for sensitive teeth. Ruth

if you already have sensitive teeth, you'll want to ditch the baking soda. my dentist specifically told me to avoid baking soda toothpastes (and tartar control toothpastes and whitening toothpastes) since I've got sensitive teeth. (and he added a fluoride rinse along with a sensitive-teeth toothpaste.)

If you want a list, the best I have found is here:

Scroll down a little on the first page and you'll see a gluten-free product list. It is updated pretty regularly.

Baking soda is very hard on the teeth and gums. You'll soon have no gums!! :o

I used to use Sensodyne before going gluten-free, now I use Tom's of Maine Sensitive toothpaste and I also find that I don't have to use it as often since my teeth have lost some of their sensitivity (I alternate with other Tom's of Maine varieties).

I have never found any wheat ingredients in any of my other toiletries, or cleaners.

The only thing I have to watch for in my shampoos/conditioners is Lavender, but that is just me, I am very allergic to it topically.

I have just stopped wearing make up except on special occasions, and then only the smallest amount, since even though most of my make up is confirmed gluten-free I am still having serious breakouts when I were make up. This only started after going gluten-free. it might be that not all of my makeup is actually gluten-free. Does anyone know of any good brands that all of their make up is gluten-free?

God bless,

Mariann

Thanks All for your advice about baking soda toothpaste. I haven't used it very long, so hopefully, haven't damaged my teeth and gums too much. Will check out the list on delphiforums. Ruth

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
