Colgate-Palmolive

I got the following email response when I asked about toothpaste and Softsoap. Can someone explain what this means.

Thank you for asking about grain-derived ingredients in Colgate-Palmolive products. We do not intentionally add gluten to any of our products. For the following products, however, we cannot guarantee that the ingredients we use are not exposed to any gluten:

Afta Shave products, all variants

Ajax Cleanser

Ajax Dish Liquids, all variants

Cashmere Bouquet Bar Soap

Colgate Toothpaste, all variants

Dermassage Dish Liquid

Gel-Kam Home Care Gel

Irish Spring Bar Soap, all variants

Lady Speed Stick Antiperspirants, all variants

Mennen Speed Stick Deodorants and Antiperspirants, all variants

Murphy Oil Soap, all variants

Orabase Paste

Palmolive Bar Soaps, all variants

Palmolive Dish Liquids, all variants

Palmolive Eco + Dishwasher Detergent, all variants

Peroxyl Rinse

Phos-Flur Rinse

Prevident Gel

Softsoap Liquid Soap, all variants

Softsoap Body Washes, all variants

Total Floss

Ultra brite Toothpaste, all variants

Sorbitol is an ingredient which can be derived from grain and may be found in toothpastes. Our sorbitol is corn-derived.

We hope this information helps you choose which Colgate products meet your requirements. If you have any questions, please contact us again.

Sincerely,

Melissa Zimmermann

They're just saying that for legal reasons. No one can guarantee that something hasn't been exposed to gluten.

I use softsoap all the time.

Agreed. I use many of these products on a daily basis and have never had a problem.

I agree. Just a CYA statement.

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
