Does anyone know if Gerber Tooth & Gum cleanser has gluten, milk or soy in it? Also is there a gluten free toothpaste? Thanks

I don't know about Gerber. I use Weleda Children's Tooth Gel.

Ingredients: Glycerin, water, silica, algin, calendula officinalis flower extract, foeniculum vulgare (fennel) oil, mentha viridis (spearmint) leaf oil, esculin, limonene.

Here's what it says on the side of the box...

Childrens' Tooth Gel Developed in coopertion with dentists, Childrens Tooth Gel is specially formulated to help maintain the health of baby teeth and keep the flora of the mouth in natural balance. Biodynamic Calendula, a soothing herb, helps keep the gums and oral cavity in good condition. Children love the bright color of the gel and the pleasant taste of the natural essential oils. The gel has been carefully formulated to avoid substances that may be harmful if swallowed.

Free of fluoride, detergents, synthetic fragrances, colors, preservatives and raw materials derived from mineral oils.

I buy it at Whole Foods.

Please double check me, but I believe all Crest toothpastes are gluten-free. Again, please call to confirm, but when I called to check on the regular paste I think they said all were.

Has anyone ever found a toothpaste (or any dental product) that definitely has gluten. I know there are companies that have the standard legal statement about not being able to guarantee what their suppliers do and some will state gluten-free.

Tom's of Maine toothpaste is gluten-free...you can look at the faqs on their website. They say that some toothpaste companies brush their machines with wheat flour which is where the gluten comes in....Tom's of Maine says they don't do that.

*yes, I think Crest is all gluten-free too.*

Hi,

I know that Orajel toddler training toothpaste is gluten free. My daughter has been using this for 2 years. Hope this helps. :rolleyes:

Earth's Best by Jason has gluten (from oats). I called to ask because my son was using it. I replaced it with Weleda which he HATED, so for a week I just used a wet toothbrush! Yesterday the bottle of Spry I ordered arrived. He is marginally accepting of the Spry. He used to love brushing with the Earth's Best:( & now I think brushing is going to become a battle of the wills....).

      New diagnosis

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hello, and welcome to the forum. Getting use to gluten-free eating is a struggle, but it is worth it. Your daughter should begin to feel much better and the fatigue will fade but it can take some time. I am sure you will get lots of suggestions from forum members - we have a few from the UK. I am a bit pushed for time just now but will come back later. Russ

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By BelleDeJour · Posted

      Thank you so much @suek54 How are you doing today? I spoke too soon yesterday. Something (I can only think gluten-free sweets or a can of soft drink) set me off yesterday. Had a bath, applied some cream, still itching so applied some steroid and was awake until 3am. It's so frustrating. Always 2 steps forward, 1 step back. I am at work now and going to play it very much on the very safe side with food for the next few days.  My derm appointment is less than a week away. I will update on here because I do feel it important to help others.

      Skin issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m sorry you’re going through all of this. It sounds very stressful, especially when you feel that your symptoms are not being taken seriously. Until you are seen next week, it may help to keep the focus very practical: take clear photos of the skin sores, write down a timeline of symptoms, list all medicines, eye drops, supplements, implants/leak history, and any test results, and bring that to the dermatologist. If there is drainage, spreading redness, fever, worsening pain, eye involvement, or signs of infection, that needs prompt medical care. I would be cautious about assuming parasites or staph without testing, and also cautious with new supplements or putting vitamin C directly on sores, since irritated skin can get worse. A dermatologist can culture lesions, biopsy if needed, and refer to infectious disease if the findings point that way. On the celiac side, I understand your concern for your son, but being HLA-DQ2 positive does not by itself mean he has celiac disease; it means he has a genetic risk. If he is eating gluten now, this is actually the best time for proper celiac blood testing before he tries a gluten-free diet. His symptoms, weight, congestion, and family history are worth discussing with a gastroenterologist, but he should not be told he has celiac based only on HLA status. For your own care, try to keep pushing for objective testing and clear documentation in your records, because that is often what gets doctors to take the next step.
