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....).

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
