Listerine/mouthwash

Listerine contains alcohol - does anyone know what kind of alcohol, or if there are other ingredients that are gluten-free. I contacted the manufacturer (Pfizer), but they're giving me the line that they can't guarantee the product is gluten-free without actually answering my question! How about Scope or any other mouthwash?

I contacted the co. a few months back about Listerine--they told me the alcohol was not derived from a grain source. I use it all the time with no problem. I believe its the Arctic Mint flavor.

Listerine doesn't use a "gluten" alcohol, but they did tell me that they couldn't guarentee their stuff is gluten free (I guess just meaning cross contamination risk? who knows....).

Yikes, I JUST bought Listerine today... does anyone use it successfully? I won't use it if it's questionable...

I don't know if it is questionable or not, I think they were just being honest. I am sure that most packaged food can't guarentee anything either (which is why I stopped eating and using as much packaged stuff as possible). I stopped using it because it was just one more thing I didn't want to worry about, but I think others here have used it without problems. I know that Tom's (a natural brand) makes mouthwash that they say is gluten-free (though they don't test their stuff either).... Anyway, good luck!

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      By Mantooth · Posted

      Thanks for the responce Scott! When I was tested I figured out that I was on a diet and wasnt eating lots of gluten, Im using the LoseIt App to track my food intake so I went back and checked. My doctor only tested me for TTG-AB-IGA and nothing else. My results were <0.5 out of <12u/mL. Im now believing that I wasnt eating enough gluten to have a response, no gluten challenge or anything. Does anyone know what tests I should ask my doctor to do? I want to be armed with information before I go in there again.

But it does not mention processing wheat.

      Gluten Free Soy Flour - Where to buy?

      By Jules87 · Posted

      Hello!  I like to use soy flour for baking and recently discovered that Bob's Red Mill has discontinued its soy flour product. I've been able to find it at a few local international grocery stores but I have some concerns about cross contamination. Wondering if anyone knows a company / brand that specifically calls out their soy flour is gluten free? Or at least cleans the line before producing it? Thank you for any suggestions in advance!

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Did you get a blood screening done for celiac disease? If so, feel free to share your results here. Normally this is done before a biopsy, and after a positive blood test. For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Matt13, About half of people with Celiac Disease react to Casein, the protein in dairy, in the same way as to the protein Gluten.  They have similar segments of polypeptides which trigger the autoimmune response of Celiac Disease. Damage to the Villa lining the intestines can be patchy or beyond the reach of the endoscopy equipment.   Hope this helps!
