Does Anyone Have A List

[anglepoise]

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...

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!!

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
