Just be careful..to get back on my carrageenan kick here..lot's of toothepaste contain this too. That's why sadly I quit using Tom's Of Maine.

If you are still having digestive issues..check to see if your toothpaste..and/or other products contain this product.

I seem to be sensitive to carrageenan, I have been using Tom's not knowing what was gluten free...

What brand do you use that is gluten-free, soy free & Carrageenan free???

Thanks!

Oral-B won't claim any of their toothpastes are gluten free.

I posted in another area about toothpaste--Oral B was definitely one of the brands that caused the rash for my daughter.

Tom's of Maine is gluten free and now you can get a flouride and sodium laurel free version. Both are toxic to the body!!

Had a problem with Tom's, too, but it was years ago--maybe ingredients have changed. For us, we stick with Aqua-fresh--the kid's Bubblemint for daughter, Extra-fresh for me.

Saw another post here about Arm & Hammer Sensitive--I will try it. Thanks for the tip!!

Thanks for the reply. Curiosity is my middle name. :) By the way soy was the last link for me. I hope eliminating it gives you the relief I got. I do find it just as hard to avoid as gluten though, actually at this point harder. It seems anything that doesn't have gluten has soy. :angry:

Patti, I am also curious ...When you stopped consuming soy, did that include edamame (frozen or fresh soybeans)? I think I may have an intolerance to soy and have been eliminating it from my diet.

I am questioning if fresh or frozen soybeans are safe vs. eating processed soy products.

Thanks a million,

I stopped using sensodyne last week, and I no longer get tooth pain and my mouth doesnt ache. So there is something in it. It was the tarter control/whitening. Now i use crest and no pain.

I've never found a toothpaste that definitely has gluten. I won't use Oral B simply because they are uncooperative about all their products.

Richard-has the pronamel helped you at all? I am interested in trying to save the few teeth I have left!

Baking soda + hydrogen peroxide is the way to go! ;)

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
