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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
