Gluten Free Toothpaste

Hi, I'm new here so I hope this is in the right forum.

I'm trying to find a toothpaste in the UK which is free from gluten and wheat.

Just found out the usual one I use (Arm & Hammer) is now with cross contamination of gluten (Made in UK version not the USA version)

Colgate have said avoid their toothpastes due to cross contamintion but didn't clearly state gluten or lactose.

Is there anyone who can advise on a safe toothpaste that's also free from sorbitol, aspartame, carrageenan, lactose & soy? (fat chance right!)

Thanks for your help.

I use soap to clean my teeth daily. I make my own soap and put in essential oils in an attempt to sooth my taste buds. It is very cleansing. I have a daughter that says she uses soap also part of the time. The dentists don't complain about her teeth when she uses the soap. If you don't make your own maybe how about a baking soda soap? Watch out for gluten though.

In the US Tom's toothpaste has atleast one gluten free kind my husband picked up. We can buy it at a natural food store.

You could always use plain jane baking soda.

I also like Tom's of Maine. One thing I like about them is they show the source of every ingredient they use on the box. Don't know if it is available where you are. Keep in mind also that just because an item doesn't say it is gluten free that doesn't always mean it isn't safe. It just means they don't test for gluten.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      She’s eating mostly gluten as far as I know. Think her GP is trying to get her seen fairly quickly

      Be sure to have her continue eating gluten before the biopsy. Reducing gluten now could lead to healing and false negative results.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Allegra is an antihistamine.  Histamine is released by the body as part of the autoimmune and immune responses, so an antihistamine would be helpful.  Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet is helpful as well because there's also histamine in foods.  Sometimes our body has trouble getting rid of the histamine it makes and the histamine from our food.  Sometimes the mast cells that make and release histamine get touchy and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells not to release histamine so readily.  Look into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.  SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, can also cause high histamine levels.  Following the low histamine AIP diet will starve out the bad SIBO bacteria that feed on carbohydrates we eat.  We don't want to take antibiotics because they kill off both the good and bad bacteria.  We don't want to take probiotics yet because the SIBO bacteria will outnumber them.   The AIP diet will allow the good bacteria to flourish.   Some have Candida infections as well as SIBO.   Lowering histamine levels is important because high histamine levels for a long time can lead to worsening health problems like Crohn's and colitis and other health problems.

      gluten-free Canada finds

      By JessicaAnderson · Posted

      Hey! My son will be traveling to Canada from the US next month. What are some items we should try to buy and bring back? I know Doritos are labeled gluten-free in Canada so that’s on our list, what else?

      Oh I have 2 dogs. And I just looked up the ingredients in their food and it does contain barley as a main ingredient. Maybe some other things too that aren't helpful but barley just caught my eye on a quick look.  And yes I spend lots of time with them, they're always cuddled up on me. I even have wondered before if I was allergic to them and I take Allegra at night out of some thought that maybe I was allergic to them (but I've never confirmed that).  Wow. This is very interesting. I could try putting them out on some grain-free food for a month and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip!
