Conflicting Info On Orajel Toddler Training Toothpaste


jamibrit

Recommended Posts

My 3.5 yo son was dx'd with celiac disease, (+ endoscopy and bloodwork) and has been gluten free for 2 weeks now. His stools are still yellow although they are now firm, so I have been searching for possible gluten that we weren't noticing... all I can think of his toothpaste (orajel toddler toothpaste). I have found some sites that claim its gluten free and some that say its not. I emailed orajel but in the meantime I was wondering if anyone knew?

tia!

If its only been two weeks on the diet, I wouldn't be too worried. It generally takes longer than 2 weeks for the body to heal and stop attacking itself, and then bring itself back up (i.e., start absorbing nutrients, etc.)

Point is: you may have him completely gluten free, but his body is taking a little while to catch up----completely normal.

FYI all colgate toothpaste is gluten free, and my nearly three year old loves it!

children should not brush with toothpaste, the dentists now recommend they brush with water & then the parents are to floss or the kids can do it themselves as soon as they are old enough

I just wanted to add to this reply as my son has recenlty been diagnosed and I had the same question. Since it wasn't clear on this thread whether Toddler Orajel was gluten-free, I emailed the company and this is their response:

Thank you for visiting our web site. We appreciate your interest in our company and in using Orajel

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
