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:

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!!!

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      About Celiac Remission

      This idea comes up often, but it’s important to separate theory from what’s actually supported by evidence. In celiac disease, the immune system does not “forget” gluten in a permanent or reliable way, even after long periods of avoidance, and the celiac genes do not turn off. While antibody levels (like tTG IgA) can normalize on a strict gluten-free diet an...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Gluten testing is normally reported in ppm (parts per million), which is equivalent to mg/kg, not micrograms by itself. A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold...

      Medications

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold; if it’s <0.025 mcg per kilogram, it would be extremely low and well within GF limits. Without the denominator, the result is incomplete. It’s reasonable to follow up with the company and ask them to confirm the result in ppm using a validated method (like ELISA R5)—that’s the standard used to assess gluten safety.

Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted. The fact that it helped bloating suggests it may be affecting gut–nerve signaling, which makes sense in the context of SIBO, but that doesn’t mean the side effects should be ignored. You’re carrying a heavy load right now with ongoing skin, eye, and neurological uncertainty, and living in that kind of limbo is exhausting on its own. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and discouraged when systems and providers don’t meet you where you are—your experience is valid, and continuing to advocate for yourself, even when it’s hard, really does matter. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      I am not aware of an air detector for gluten, but Nima Partners sells a device that can detect gluten in minutes in a small sample of a meal or food that you eat. They are also a sponsor here for full disclosure: https://nimanow.com
