I FIGURED I WOULD GIVE A UPDATE ON CREST PRODUCTS SINCE I JUST EMAILED THEM YESTERDAY.

ALL CREST PRODUCTS ARE GLUTEN FREE, HERE IS THERE RESPONSE

I'd be more than happy to share this information regarding our Crest

Toothpaste and Whitestrips. I'd like to assure you there is no Gluten in

Crest Whitestrips nor any of our current versions of Crest Toothpaste.

I know. Isn't it great? :lol: I'm not sure if I've ever said this before, but when I came here, my initial intention was to come, find out about celiac, then run, lol. For about four months I just read, then I would see an answer and would go, "I know that," and I would respond...I figured, why not give the person a quick answer. That developed and now I'm addicted. Then I wanted even more, lol, so I now post here religiously, regularly read Delphi, get the St. Johns Listserv, and belong to 4 Yahoo celiac groups. That gives me...7 groups. Wow...I'm pathetic. It does feel good to contribute :)

That's what I did for a while at first too. I just got on here for information but then I realized the information I knew could help other people on here so I figured I would post more and then I got addicted. :lol: I belong to about 4 groups I think but I only really participate here, only sometimes on the other ones...thats all I have time for otherwise I would do more :lol:

Docklearfan-thanks for the post of this info. I knew the Crest toothpastes were but I was not sure about their whitening products

I really have a great respect for alot of the people on this board. I know celiac3270 sent me his 2005 list of gluten foods and Kaiti has been soooooo nice with virtually every post I posted.

I know how devestating this disease can be!! and for people to donate their time to helping others in this forum is AWESOME!

(Personally, I have been wanting to ask for some help about something but I'm lacking the courage, maybe soon I will.)

thanks to everyone!

Believe, me, I think I've seen everything--I've seen posts discussing everything from graphic descriptions of bowel movements (everywhere) to gluten in the stickers on fruit (here) to gluten-free condoms (Delphi).... anything you can think of has probably been asked before :lol:

Like celiac3270 said, we have seen tons of questions and none of them are silly if your health is at risk. I've asked tons of questions on here and there is almost always someone that can help. The people on this board are very helpful, I am sure you will recieve an anwser to your question.

celiac3270,

HA! that is a new one for me! Well, good for him/her...Safety first! ;) I would hate for the poor "joe" to get celiac-diarreah after perfectly good intercourse! :blink:

In all seriousness though, I'm sure that the person who got up the nerve to ask about that issue was not alone in wondering about that though..NO QUESTION is DUMB...we are all learning from each other! B)

DOCKLEARFAN,

When you get ready, ask your question! Kaiti, celiac3270, Richard, Carrie, Jen, and others will no doubt offer you helpful, useful information. B) I will support you, but I'm still learning myself...so I'm afraid that I'm not as full of accurate/useful information as the others.

Happy 4th all. -Julie :)

Yup...a few months ago. It was mostly about some powdery stuff.... For anyone interested, Trojan's fine, lol. I'm embarrassed to know that, but maybe I can help someone else--believe me, by the time I'm at that stage, I'll need to re-verify, lol :lol:

Oh celiac3270,

You're killing me! :lol:

Well, the truth is the truth... no need to be embarrassed about having that tidbit of knowledge... you may have just increased Trojan sales! :D

Take care. B)

Yeah Kaiti,

I was laughing about that earlier...well, I think the original topic was addressed...sometimes we stray a bit...I just got tickeled at the whole thought of what celiac3270 said. Sorry 'bout that. :rolleyes:;)

Thank you...I was serious about that, but it's funny all the same :lol:

Ha....we go from Crest toothpaste to Trojan condoms over a fifteen post span. If anyone wants the blow-by-blow of the thread (gosh, stupid puns <_< ) it was that some guy noticed that there was some powdery stuff or something on "them." So he would...put "it" on and wash his hands...he said it's not very romantic to have to go wash your hands...someone said that he could have her put "it" on him or whatever...someone else said Trojan...I don't know how the thread developed, but I found other more pertinent posts to follow. :lol: This is probably a more serious issue for females, since---damn, I'd better stop. I'm too young to be talking about this :lol:

Thanks for the tips!! I recently spoke to a customer representative at Arm & Hammer and they assured me that all of their toothpastes are gluten-free.

It is good to know that Trojan's are gluten-free but check the lubricants. I haven't checked this year but in the past some of the K-Y Lubricants were gluten-free and others weren't. The customer representative explained that sometimes they did get gluten in the ingredients and sometimes they didn't. I switched to the Rite-Aid brand because it is suppose to be gluten-free. Although, I never experienced any detectable symptoms from the K-Y.

Just a thought... Vaseline is a petroleum based product that can cause condoms to weaken and increase the risk of pregnancy and disease.

On a happy note: hugs, compliments and kindness are all gluten-free!!!

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?
