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 :)

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.
