I don't know about Trident, but Wrigley's is gluten-free. (I thought there were other ways to treat clenching, though?)

I stopped chewing it because it made me ill. . .I would call them to make sure.

They claim that their gum is in fact gluten free. Here is a link to their website: (see question #4 under their "Questions" page)

The above is a link to a thread on gluten-free gums..........the only one I question on this list is the "altoid gum" that Molly chews. Later, in another thread, somebody asked if Altoids are gluten-free, which they are. However, they also asked if altoid gum was gluten-free.....Molly (flagbabyds) said it was, but somebody else said that there was wheat something on the label..........I don't know exactly, cause I don't care if it's gluten-free or not with all my other options........also remember to call these companies before using them, as they can, as well all know, change their ingredients very quickly without telling us.

      You may want to go to a dermatologist to see if it might instead be dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin version of celiac disease. Here are some articles on Rosacea and CD:

      Tierra Farm is a sponsor here, but since you brought them up I wanted to mention that they have a 20% off coupon code this month: GF20

      Concerning dosage, I found this: https://patient-info.co.uk/sodium-feredetate-190-mg-5ml-oral-solution-88092/summary-of-medicine-characteristics Age 6 – 24 months: 12.5 mg Age 2 – 5 years: 20–30 mg Age 6 – 11 years: 30 – 60 mg   But these dosages are in mg, not ml.

      Thank you. I’ve also just looked on the NICE website and it recommends a much lower dose for her age. She’s currently take 7.5 ml in total a day and the recommendation is 4ml and if not tolerated she should try alternate days. It may explain why she’s has such a loose bowel. I’m not concerned about the black poo, but more the frequency and consistency. It’s not fair on her. She has been saying she feels a little sick today so that may be a side effect… I never know with her as she had such bad tummy pains and issues before she was diagnosed. Her levels were at the highest possible and she was vomiting regularly so she often talks about sick.

      It is "chelated" to improve absorption but not buffered from what I can tell. What she is taking is an appropriate pediatric iron supplement product. By the way, it is normal for iron supplementation to turn poo black. That is not a worry per se. But iron supplementation can cause an upset tummy. Iron can irritate the mucosal lining of the tummy and the gut. Is she complaining of pain or discomfort? The irritation is probably causing her to frequent toileting. Check with your physician about a buffered iron product for children. "Slow iron" products (you can get them over the counter) are buffered and help reduce irritation. Not sure if they are appropriate in dosage, however, for children and if you cut them you destroy the buffered coating. But I certainly would get her B12 levels checked if you haven't.
