I have sort of a backwards question, what gluten-free toothpaste does everyone on this board use, now i'm wondering if i'm stupid and i've been glutening myself with toothpaste (i'm calling the company!), I'm also the genius who about five months after going gluten-free sent out about 100 christmas cards and licked all the envelopes (that had gluten).....so, now i hope i'm doing the right hting!

I'm kind of confused about toothpaste. I've read to watch for hidden gluten in toothpastes, and after searching the net, Tom's of Maine was the only one that listed some of their toothpastes as gluten free. Now I buy one of the gluten free Tom's toothpastes. But in just reading labels of easier to find, cheaper toothpastes, I can't see anything that would indicate gluten in any of them. But I'm afraid to try any that aren't labeled gluten free.

Can somebody list which toothpastes DO contain gluten? I'd like to buy cheaper toothpaste, if I could.

I just use baking soda mixed with some water to make a paste. Works great and I know exactly what's in it too. I suppose you could add some mint flavoring or something, but I'm not picky enough about the taste to bother with all that. I only need it to do the job, which it does very well, and it's about as cheap as you can get for toothpaste.

I go between Crest and Arm and Hammer. Both work well. I just use them for two different reasons. I am goofy though :)

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
