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 use Crest. I believe all flavors are gluten free.

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 :)

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
