Hi,

I currently use Crest--I called them just last month and was told that all Crest tooth products are gluten-free.

A good more natural choice is Jason Powersmile.

I'm using Dove Shampoo and Conditioner--they will clearly list any gluten on the bottle.

Sodium laurel sulfate is irritating to some people but it has nothing to do with Celiac--there's no gluten issue with it.

I use Tom's of Maine. I love this company they list the source of all the ingredients and what they do. No weird chemical names or additives and also soy and dairy free. I use the cinnamint with Myrrh, tastes great and seems to help with my nightly plaque formation from dry mouth and sleeping with my mouth open.

Aquafresh says it is gluten free on their FAQ page. We also use Arm & Hammer Peroxi Care with no problems.

Good luck!

I agree with you - Tom's of Maine is great! I use the apricot that does not have fluoride in it - my dd does also, being fluoride free helps her thyroid. I recently called the company when that big toothpaste scare was out a couple of months ago, and they were very nice to converse with and helpful. I don't think I will ever switch toothpaste again.

Just to mention when I talked with the manuf. of colgate company , they told me they can not guar. that the toothpaste were gluten-free. They issued a check to me for the 2 tubes I had just purchased becasue of the no guar.

When was this? I talked to them about 3 months ago and they said all their toothpastes are gluten free. Conflicting information is SO frustrating. <_<

I think was back in July? I pressured her a bit to make sure there was NO gluten in the toothpaste, and she told me the usual story...we don't intentionally put gluten in the product, but they could get their ingredients sourced from somewhere that may have gluten. I switched immediately, and they even sent me a check for the 2 tubes I had just recently bought.

That is when I switched to Tom's Of Maine

Check this out before you give your child flouride. It can lead to Flourosis.

I use Alba hair and skin care products. Have had no problems with them. I have curly hair also, and their line of shampoo and conditioner has worked well for me. I use Dr. Bronner's leave in conditioner. The one in the purple pump bottle, not sure what it's called, I'm not at home right now. I buy from VitaCost.com, because they have what I need and their prices are low.

I've been using Desert Essence toothpaste for several years. I use the fennel flavor, because mint in dental care products irritates my mouth. I can eat and drink all the mint I want, just can't use the dental products.

This toothpaste contains tea tree oil. Since I've been using it, my dental hygienist complains that she doesn't have enough to do when I come in for a cleaning. :D

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly. Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO? Are you taking any Benfotiamine? Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO. Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks? Carbon Monoxide poisoning...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States. In European countries, different cooking methods and longer fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat. Gluten content can...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      From my own experience and that of others who have tried to discontinue PPI use, I think your taper down plan is much too aggressive. It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Talk to your doctor about switching to an antihistamine, and supplementing essential vitamins and minerals. Dietary changes (low carb/paleo) may be beneficial for you. Have you talked to a dietician or nutritionist about a nutrient dense gluten free diet? It's harder to get all the vitamins needed from a gluten free diet. Gluten containing products are...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I’m pretty sure they do. I have been on myfortic, tacrolimus since 2021 for my liver transplant and added prednisone after kidney transplant. I’m going to try to cut back omeprazole to 20 mg a day and then after a week try to stop altogether. Thank you for your help.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly.   Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO?   Are you taking any Benfotiamine?  Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO.  Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...

It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound is real. If I were you I would aim at cutting back in weekly increments for two weeks at a time rather than daily increments. So, for instance, if you have been taking 2x20mg per day, the first week cut that down to 2x20mg for six days and 1x20 mg for the other day. Do that for two weeks and then cut down to 2x20mg for five days and 1x20 for two days. On the third week, go 20x2 for four days and 20x1 for 3 days. Give yourself a week to adjust for the reduced dosage rather than reducing it more each week. I hope this makes sense.
