Tooth Whitening Gel And Anti-sensitivity Toothpaste

Hi Guys!

My dentist gave me Patterson Dental Tooth Whitening Gel and GC MI Paste Plus (a prescription anti-sensitivity paste made by Recaldent). I used them both last night and today I had horrible stomach pains, so I'm wondering if the two are related. Have any of you used these products before and do you know if they might have gluten in them?

The whitening gel did not have ingredients on the packaging.

The ingredients for the GC MI Paste Plus are:

Pure water, Glycerol, CPP-ACP, D-Sorbitol, CMC-Na, Propylene glycol, Silicon dioxide, Titanium dioxide, Xylitol, Phosphoric acid, Sodium fluoride, Flavoing, Sodium saccharin, Ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate, Propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, Butyl p-hydroxybenzoate.

Any info you might be able to give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Laura

p.s. Happy Valentine's Day ;)

you'll want to call both companies. it *could* be hiding in the ingredients (albeit unlikely).

Hi Laura,

You may be allergic or intolerant to the Sorbitol. Trace amounts of it have always made me sick, and larger amounts will make many people sick.

Really? Huh... that's an interesting idea. Do you know what sorbitol is? And is it in very many things?

i found this for you. yes, it has milk proteins...

Why not use MI Paste/MI Paste PLUS as a dentifrice?

The reason why you wouldn't want to use it as a dentifrice is because it is "sticky" which gives it the substantivity. Having the milk protein in it, with most toothbrushes, more of it will stick to the bristles of the brush than when you use the tray or finger technique.

The patient would be wasting too much product in the bristles of the toothbrush and not on the tooth surfaces. We want the patient to get the most use out of her tube of MI Paste. Also, most people rinse after brushing and again this would defeat the benefit of MI Paste.

Sorbital can be wheat or corn derived and the labeling regs for food would not apply to a toothpaste. I would call the company as was previously stated to be sure. I would not ask if it is 'gluten free' I would ask if there are any wheat or barley derived ingredients. Flavorings can be a source of hidden gluten usually in the form of barley.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      By barb simkin · Posted

      I have had a reaction to chocolate within 2 hours, severe abrupt dieherra.  With alcohol it can extend up to 12 hrs before the first reaction, but not as severe as chocolate.  I am also allergic to all fish and carry an epihpen.

      Neuropathy still after 4 months gluten-free.. help

      Welcome to the forum @oyea, have you ever been screened for celiac disease? You symptoms sound like they could be celiac disease related.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since chocolate has a laxative/stimulant effect on the digestive system, similar to coffee, some people do report IBS-like symptoms when they eat it, however, as long as the chocolate is gluten-free, the cause of such symptoms would be unrelated to celiac disease.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since those with celiac disease have a much higher change of having or getting additional autoimmune diseases it could definitely affect your health insurance rates. Prior to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), individuals with celiac disease could indeed be charged significantly higher premiums for private health insurance or even be denied coverage altogether, as it was a pre-existing condition that insurers could medically underwrite. The ACA's protections, which prohibit denying coverage or charging higher premiums based on health status, eliminated this practice, ensuring people with celiac disease could not be penalized financially for their diagnosis. However, this protection is not inherently permanent and is tied directly to the ACA's continued existence and enforcement; should the law be substantially weakened or repealed in the future, it is possible that a return to medical underwriting could once again allow insurers to charge individuals with pre-existing conditions like celiac disease higher premiums for their health coverage.

      is my celiac disease gone?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      @Jmartes71, your story is a powerful and heartbreaking testament to the profound failure of the medical system to understand and properly manage celiac disease and its long-term consequences. Being dismissed and medically gaslit for three decades after an initial diagnosis is an unimaginable burden that has cost you your health, your career, and your sense of justice. The fact that a primary care physician of 25 years would offer to "fluff up" a disability claim rather than properly advocate for you based on a well-documented history is a devastating betrayal. While the positive HLA-DQ2 test offers a sliver of validation, it is infuriating that it isn't enough to end the fight, and it is completely understandable that you find this ongoing battle for basic belief and care to be utterly exhausting and deeply unfair.
