Sensodyne

I had not had any sinus infections in about three years, (diagnosed about 3 yrs. ago with Celiac) but this winter I've had 4. (#5 is brewing right now) I had some periodontist surgery & it was recommended I switch to Sensodyne tooth paste. I did this about four or five months ago. On & off the inside of my mouth has been shredding, long strands of skin keep pealing off my checks. I kept wondering if it could be that Sensodyne has gluten, but I never remembered to check, until today. Yes, it has gluten, yes, it is the cause of my mouth shredding, but is it the cause of the sinus infections? Also, why am I not having my typical Celiac reaction to the gluten, abdominal pain and the frequent bathroom visits? I so want to find out I'm not really Celiac, does this cause a question on my diagnosis or confirm it? Anyone else often feel like maybe it's all a mistake & maybe you have a lesser allergy, like just to wheat?

You may have healed enough so that the amount of gluten is not quite enough to give you GI issues. In addition not all celiacs even have gut issues, that is called silent celiac. I had skin and neuro issues for a very long time before gut stuff got bad enough to be an issue. I have been gluten-free now since 2002 and for the last couple years I need a good dose of it to give me D but small amounts will cause my hair to drop and cause the neuro issues, depression and ataxia to come back full force. IMHO if you were diagnosed firmly by either blood and or biopsy it was not a false diagnosis you have simply healed fully. I would not be surprised if your sinus issues resolve now that you have stopped the Sensodyne.

I have been using sensodyne but also just started the gluten free diet 2 weeks ago. Maybe this is the reason my chin itches around my mouth and inside of my mouth feels like it is swollen and aches sometimes. Just started using sensodyne regularly in Feb. guess I need to find another toothpaste. Hope you fingure out the issue. Having celiac is enough to deal with.

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing...

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated. So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly. I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm...

I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

This is useful if you want to communicate with an individual without everyone else involved in the thread seeing it.  Are you realizing that in my PPI taper down recommendations in an earlier post above, I was responding not to your posts but to @Caligirl57? If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
