Crest Is Gluten-Free But They Don't Always Test

Should I be concerned about Crest? Their website says that all their products are gluten-free but they also say that they don't always test them for gluten. How does one reconcile these opposing ideas?

They are not opposing ideas. Just because you don't test everything for gluten does not mean that those things are not gluten-free. When you buy produce at the market, do you test it for gluten? No, but fresh produce is still gluten-free.

Most mainstream manufacturers do not routinely test. Testing costs money, which has to be recouped in the price of the product. 99% of the population don't care and don't want to pay more. Simple economics.

I personally prefer Colgate, but would have no qualms about using Crest.

I use Crest regular paste or cool mint gel. No problems with either one! I've used them for years. They are gluten free products.

From Crest website under FAQ

Do any Crest products contain gluten?

No current Crest products contain gluten.

I emailed Crest re their products and they said that their toothpastes are gluten-free. However, they did also say that their Crest Pro Rinse and Crest Whitening "...could contain trace amounts of gluten. We recommend that you contact your doctor if you have questions before using these rinse products...".

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!

      Have you tried a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  No gluten challenge required.

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

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @ElisaAllergiesgluten, Have you tried going on a low histamine Paleo diet like the Autoimmune Protocol diet?  A low histamine AIP diet would help your body rid itself of the extra histamine it's making in response to allergies.  Are you Celiac as well?   Since we need more thiamine when we're stressed, adding Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine Vitamin B 1, can help the body calm down it's release of histamine.  Benfotiamine improves Sailors' asthma.

      Toothpaste question.

      By RDLiberty · Posted

      So, I've been using a gluten free labeled toothpaste since being diagnosed with celiac. No big deal, the toothpaste seems to work. Question is, I just realized it contains hydrated silica.  Now, I've heard that silicon dioxide can cause issues in some people with celiac (was that ever confirmed though?), so to be safe, I cut it out of my diet entirely. But, as I understand it, hydrated silica is related to silicon dioxide. Is that something to worry about, or is the hydrated form not known to cause issues like the silicon dioxide form?  I've never seen it in food, but nearly every toothpaste I look at contains hydrated silica?  Issue or not?  Any scientific research (Not opinion pieces, not health bloggers, you get my gist), but actual science, that says it's an issue? I have a hard time believing 99% of what I read on random internet searches.    Thanks so much, Renee.
