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... -
- 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. I was also taking a chewable bariatric vitamin as well because of my food issues related to my...- 1

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

@Itsabit, Ask your doctor for an erythrocyte transkelatose test to measure thiamine. It's a better measure of thiamine deficiency than a serum test.- 1

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.
