Lactoferrin and gluten cross-reactive foods


Gloria L

Recommended Posts

Gloria L Enthusiast

I know that milk is one of the gluten cross-reactive foods. I'm also lactose intolerant. My problem is that I want to get squigle toothpaste, but they only have two choices, one with bovine lactoferrin and the other one with fluoride, which I don't want to get. I would really like to get this toothpaste because is not only gluten free but is also corn free, which is also another cross reactive food, I'm not so sure about the bovine lactoferrin. It's so hard to find a gluten free, corn free toothpaste, by the way, what about toothbrushes? are they gluten-free safe? Any advices are welcome.

You might want to look at this company's products, we did an ad review of them some time ago, but I'm not sure if they're corn-free:

Thank you Scott.

I use this one, I think it's corn free but someone more skilled in corn reactivity will have to confirm:

If it's indeed corn free you might can check their other flavors. If you have severe corn allergy there are many websites and lists made by people who have corn allergy and need to navigate the world around that.

Also I've never heard of a gluten toothbrush...unless you're sharing it with someone, so don't do that!

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
