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

      Is this celiac?

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms. The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten...

      Is this celiac?

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
