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.

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?

      Any Gluten-free Lipstick At Walgreens, Wal-mart, Etc?

      Have you tried lip balm made from tallow?  It's been used for thousands of years and works better than those with waxes. I prefer Vintage Traditions brand tallow balm products.

      Are you taking a B 6 supplement or a supplement containing B 6 like a B Complex?  Do you have pins and needles in your toes?   Don't worry about the thiamine being high.  The blood is a transport system that carries thiamine to the cells so they can store it.  It's fine.
