I use Listerine. Rinse first to soften the tarter, then brush with Oral B electric toothbrush super sonic. The $15 ones at the supermarket. At 73 I still have all my teeth.

- Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages4What Brands of Toothpaste are Gluten-Free?
Most inactive ingredients in toothpastes in the USA do not include gluten. If you have concerns I recommend that you contact the manufacturer directly, or find a toothpaste that has "gluten-free" on the label, for example: https://sprinjene.com- 1

I will. Thanks. I did just have mg B12 drawn. I should also state that I am already taking a Vit D supplement, as I live in the US in New England sand just about everyone who lives here is deficient, esp during our winters with less exposure to natural sunlight.

What Brands of Toothpaste are Gluten-Free?
Hi. I did some research on my own, and saw many of these toothpastes listed as gluten free. My question is: what about the “inactive” ingredients? Many of them do contain gluten. Would they still affect dermatitis herpetiformis? Or am I just being hypersensitive to the subject because I’m new? I’m questioning everything! Esp since I don’t seem to be gettin...- brands

I use Listerine. Rinse first to soften the tarter, then brush with Oral B electric toothbrush super sonic. The $15 ones at the supermarket. At 73 I still have all my teeth. While a blood test can measure iodine levels, it's not the most accurate method for assessing iodine status, and urinary iodine excretion is considered a better indicator. Have any of your dermatologists ever done a biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis? I may have missed it. Note the similarity of Casal's necklace to one of your symptoms. Pellagra rash is a characteristic skin manifestation of niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency. It typically presents as: Erythema: Red, sunburned-like areas of skin, often on the face, neck, arms, and legs. Scaliness: Dry, flaky skin that may become thickened and crusty. Hyperpigmentation: Darkened patches of skin, particularly in sun-exposed areas. Casal's necklace: A dark, pigmented band around the neck. I am currently taking these} Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg 500 mcg Iodine 10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg 4 times a day for hyperlipidemia. B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg Selenium 200 mcg Several times a week -
I will. Thanks. I did just have mg B12 drawn. I should also state that I am already taking a Vit D supplement, as I live in the US in New England sand just about everyone who lives here is deficient, esp during our winters with less exposure to natural sunlight. I was also taking a chewable bariatric vitamin as well because of my food issues related to my cancer treatment (which was many years ago, but there are long term effects.) I just stopped it because I was unable to get any gluten information about it. And it did contain iodine. Is there even a vitamin that doesn’t? I don’t know, but I will check. I also take Calcium and Magnesium in the form of “Rolaids” for leg cramps/spasms, with good effects. Thanks.

@Itsabit, Ask your doctor for an erythrocyte transkelatose test to measure thiamine. It's a better measure of thiamine deficiency than a serum test. -

Most toothpastes are naturally gluten-free, but this article may be helpful:
