I don't know what to think...this is the sickest I've been in a long time and I have no idea what is doing it to me. I've been getting progressivly worse for the last week and nothing is sticking out in my mind as containing the "evil" substance. The only thing I can think of that I have done differently is I've used a different toothpaste. I don't have the box anymore so I don't know what is in it.....I guess I just assumed it was gluten-free. Has anyone heard of toothpaste containing gluten?

Toothpaste could have gluten in it, but the major brands like colgate and crest are gluten-free.

Sensodyne is the only toothpaste I have found that may be contaminated with gluten. Perhaps it's a bug, not gluten?

Have you checked your other products like lipsticks and other cosmetics, shampoos, soaps, lotions, and all that stuff. Try to figure out what could be causing a reaction...if no chance of gluten then maybe you have a bug you are fighting.

As for toothpaste, most are gluten free(like the major brands..I know Crest and Colgate are)

And for Crest, that does mean all its varieties are gluten-free...

Thanks for your help guys! It's a crest toothpaste so I guess it's not that. I'm feeling a lot better today than I did yesterday! Most of my cosmetics are gluten-free. I have a leave in conditioner that contains gluten. I wash my hands after using it though and it hasn't given me any trouble that I know of. I'd hate to give it up....I LOVE that stuff! I'm glad about the toothpaste though I'd hate giving up brushing my teeth even more... :lol:

Healing the Villi means gluten-free in all products including the products we use on our bodies as they are absorbed through the skin. Sorry to be the bearer of bad knews. :(

They will not be absorbed into the skin. Gluten is too large to fit through the skin. If there is an open cut or something then you need to worry.

I use all gluten-free products because the risk of them getting into my mouth someway is pretty much inevitable.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Yasso frozen yogurt bars - be careful

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see what that brings.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Before I could call them (after all my research), Costco Pharmacy called and told me they found a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.  Was told name is Amneal brand.  Said they called and company  confirmed is gluten free.  Only one I had found was Lannett so did more research and found:  “BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Nov. 12, 2018.  Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: AMRX) today announced that it has completed a transition agreement with Lannett Company. Under the terms of the agreement, Amneal will take over the distribution and marketing of Levothyroxine sodium tablets from Lannett beginning December 1, 2018 through March 23, 2019, ahead of when the Company's previously announced 10-year Levothyroxine distribution agreement with Jerome Stevens begins on March 23, 2019.” So looks like we’re good until at least 6/23/29.  Active ingredients are colloidal silicon dioxide, lactose, magnesium stearate, CORN STARTCH, acacia, sodium startch glycolate. Bottom line:  We can tell our pharmacists we need gluten-free, generic Amneal brand Levothyroxine.   AMEN.

      Given your severe symptoms it sounds like you would be much better off going 100% gluten-free!
