Hiya, any tips for toothpaste free of gluten, dairy, sorbitol, Xanthum gum and other IBS triggers? I have to be gluten free and low FODMAP but get so bloated and nauseous after I brush my teeth

Distinct Tooth Enamel Defects Can Help Reveal Celiac Disease
Celiac.com 02/08/2017 - Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune-mediated enteropathy, triggered by exposure to dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. Celiac disease is also one of many gastrointestinal diseases that can have dental manifestations. In fact, distinct dental enamel defects are strong indicators of celiac disease, and may lead to a role for dentists in better celiac screening.
While the disease often manifests in early childhood, a large number of patients are diagnosed over the age of 50. Despite increased awareness, the majority of patients still remain undiagnosed. Dentists should consider celiac disease when they observe certain symmetric enamel defects.
Symptoms of celiac disease vary widely and are certainly not restricted to the intestine. They may include...

Does Timing of Gluten-Free Diet Influence Dental Enamel Defects in Celiac Disease?
Celiac.com 08/09/2017 - There have been a number of studies showing a strong connection between celiac disease and dental enamel defects (DEDs), however, the exact relationship is still unclear.
To get a better understanding, a team of researchers recently set out to evaluate DEDs in people with celiac disease by looking at how long it took them to begin a gluten-free diet (GFD).
The research team included AM de Queiroz, J Arid, FK de Carvalho, RAB da Silva, EC Küchler, R Sawamura, LAB da Silva, and P Nelson-Filho.
They are variously affiliated with the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, University of São Paulo - School of Dentistry of Ribeirão Preto, Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil, and the Department of Childcare and Pediatrics, University of São Paulo School of Medicine of Ribe...

Why You Should Ask Your Dentist About Gluten in Dental Products
Celiac.com 02/23/2022 - Anyone who knows about trying to live gluten-free with celiac disease can likely cite chapter and verse about the wide variety of products that can contain hidden gluten. The list is long, and contains numerous non-food items, like makeup and cosmetics, shampoos and conditioners, lotions, drugs, and more.
To that list, we can now add dental products, including both professional dental products and home dental products. Hidden gluten in dental products could be an issue for people with celiac disease, who need to remain gluten-free if they want to remain healthy. We know that dentists can play an important part in protecting people with celiac disease. But maybe there's even more your dentist can do to protect patients with celiac disease.
Here's why ...

Toddler Diagnosis?

They will have to put him back on gluten in order to get accurate tests results, so all the progress may be lost for a while. My grandson was 2 1/2 years old when he, his father, and his mother, were diagnosed. He was not even on the chart for height or weight and had not been on the chart since he was 12 months old. The first month he went gluten...

Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

Maybe you picked up a little intestinal virus? Maybe some ingredient in the gluten free processed foods you've been consuming is causing this. In order to simulate the texture that wheat provides, a lot of gluten free products contain ingredients that may cause digestive distress. Xanthan gum and similar polysaccharides are among the chief offenders.

Welcome @Ems10, Isn't is wonderful how a simple change helps. Gluten free eating is not a punishment. It does take attention to details when buying processed foods.
