Hi Everyone,

Just curious what toothpaste you use for your children. I picked up Colgate bubble gum; called the company and they said they don't intentionally add gluten but they cannot be sure that there other ingredients have not come in contact with gluten. What do you think of this statemtent?

Thanks,

Natalie

I'm suprized by that because I called Colgate, maybe a month ago and they happily assured me that all of their toothpastes were gluten-free.

Hi Missy's Mom,

Are you from the United States? I am from Canada, so maybe it is different here. Thanks for your response.

Yes, I'm in the U.S. Maybe that explains the difference.

I use Disney's Finding Nemo toothpaste for my son. It has lots of chemicals, but nothing that seems like it would contain gluten. Although I must say the ingredients list is crazy :blink: .

In the US, Colgate supposedly is gluten free, and so is the Tom's of Maine toothpastes.

The best thing is to call when you are at the store to buy. We use kids colgate 2 in 1 toothpaste & mouth wash bubble gum flav. , it's gluten-free. It's the only one I've asked about. we're in canada also.

Hi,

This is the exact toothpaste that I phoned about. They can't be sure that any of their ingredients have come in contact with gluten. I asked for a list and there are no gluten ingredients in it. Now I'm not sure what to do.

I am in the US and when I called Colgate I received 2 different answers also.

We use Crest, I called a couple times and received the same answer - it is gluten-free.

We also use Listerine Agent Blue, if you haven't heard of it, you use it before brushing and it dyes the bad plaque areas so you can put more concentration in those areas. My daughter and I both have celiac disease and it seems fine, unfortunately I can't remember if I called or if my husband called, but I'll double check.

Also, do you have an equivalent to Celiac Sprue Association in Canada? I called them (CSA in U.S) today about a bonne bell incident (you can see it under Food, products...Bonne bell) and they have a book of all tested foods (they test in their own lab) that are gluten free. You can buy it for ~$30.00 US and evry year it is updated.

Good luck,

Jacqui

Hi Jacqui,

Glad to hear I am not the only one getting different answers from Colgate!

I think I'll try the Listerine.

I didn't even think about contacting the Canadian Celiac Association... boy, I feel silly now :unsure:

      To play it safe, use Vasoline Lip Therapy. No questions as to it containing gluten.

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is...

      It's unfortunate that they won't work with you on this, but in the end sometimes we have to take charge of our own health--which is exactly what happened to me. I did finally get the tests done, but only after years of going down various rabbit holes and suffering. Just quitting gluten may be the best path for you at this point.

      My doctor didn't take the time to listen to anything. I don't even think she knows what it means. She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady...

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing  more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some  medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is not a killer disease, it is a disabling disease as  you have found out. You have time to find some ways to help you recover. Stay on your gluten-free diet and be more careful in avoiding cross contamination . KnittyKitty  and others here can give you advice about avoiding some foods that can give you the gluten auto immune reaction and advice about vitamins and supplement that help celiacs. You may need to take higher doses of Vit. B12  and D3.  About 20 years before a Dr. suggested I might have Celiac disease I had health problems that all other Dr said they could not identify or treat. I was very opposed to alternative providers and treatments. So many people were getting help from a local healer I decided to try that out. It was a little helpful but then, because I had a good education in medical laboraties she gave me a book  to read and what did I think. With great skeptism I started reading and before I was half way through it I began using the methods outlined in the book. Using those herbs and supplements I went from hardly able to work to being able to work almost fulltime. I still use that program. But because I had undiagnosed celiac disease by 10 years later some  of my problems returned and I started to loose weight.    So how does a person find a program that will benefit them? Among the programs you can find online there are many that are snake oil scams and some that will be beneficial. by asking around, as I did. Is there an ND in your area? Do they reccomend that person? If you would like to read about the program I use go to www.drclark.net

She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady didn't even know what she was talking about and said "they never turn out as celiac, they usually just say it's dermatitis so here's your meds," just like my regular quack. I'm trying to change insurance companies at the moment and that has been a battle because of red tape, wrong turns, and workers having wrong phone numbers. What a joke! The allergy blood days say I have a wheat allergy of .31. Hopefully it's just that and until I find a decent doctor and dermatologist, I'll just lay off the wheat anyway, since it gives me asthma, high blood sugar, and joint pain. So frustrated at this point. The rash on my back of arms/elbows is mostly gone. Both calves and chest have started up. smh. It comes and goes. It fades faster now, though, although my forearms still produce one or two bumps on each side. The itching has calmed down a lot except for the bump area. I have dry skin to begin with so anything affecting it just makes it crazy. i'm never going to eat wheat again. I don't care if they need it to produce results or if it is just an intolerance, allergy, or celiac. It gives me hell.

Im in disability limbo and I should have never been a bus driver because im still suffering and trying to heal with zero income except for my husband. This isnt fare that my health is dictating my living and having ti beg for being revalidation of my disregarded celiac disease. Its an emotional roller coaster I don't want to be on and the medical made it worse.New pcp new gi, exhausted, tired and really fed up. GI doctor NOT girl..
