Hello!

I personally do make sure toothpaste and any items I may ingest are gluten free. I have personally had good luck with Sensodyne Pronamel and Colgate toothpaste. I am not Vegetarian, but avoid Dairy as I am severely lactose and casein intolerant, so I feel your struggle to some extent. I have joined some Facebook Celiac and gluten free groups that have been very beneficial for me. I always search in the top of the facebook group when I have questions if something is gluten free or dairy free. With member counts in the tens of thousands per group, they typically always have tons of answers to each question posted and I can always find an answer very quickly if I am trying to find a gluten free product. Of course, I search these forums as well!

Vitamins usually have “gluten free” or “Vegan” claims right on the labels, so that makes it fairly easy. Many people say the generic forms of Tylenol are gluten free (of course EVERY brand needs to be checked). I have heard Target brand labels gluten free acetaminophen (which is Tylenol), and GENEXA makes a clean/gluten free version of Acetaminophen. 

Is there a health food store in Canada you can visit that has a someone who may be knowledgeable about local products that could assist you? I am in Ohio, but, we have some mom and pops type local health food stores which carry many gluten free items, Vegan/Vegetarian items, and of course all of the vitamins and supplements. The clerks working at the store are always so knowledgeable and seem to really have a passion for helping people with different health and diet restrictions.

I believe Scott posted an article about Tylenol on this website you can easily search for reference as well.

Not everyone focuses on gluten-free skin care products, perhaps only the most sensitive, however, every celiac should focus on everything that is eaten or put in your mouth should likely be gluten-free. Nowadays it can be as easy to find gluten-free skin care products, and we've done articles on this and other topics.

Here is where you can sort those vitamins:

I think it's important to be clear that the gluten molecule does not pass through the skin.  If people choose out of an abundance of caution to choose gluten free skin care that's fine but I do worry about new people who are already overwhelmed getting anxious about skin care.  I personally do look for gluten free cosmetics, especially lip gloss, but even that is not really necessary.  Celiac Canada tell us we'd basically have to eat a full tube of lipstick to get enough gluten to be a problem.

      Question

      I'm 70, had gut issues my whole life. 15 years ago my grandchild was diagnosed with celiac. Since I had a constant either constipation or diarrhea and what the doctors thought was fibromyalgia and other issues I decided to see what happens if I quit gluten. I got a lot better.

      FDA says that most drugs are gluten-free???

      I had been glutened from somewhere since I pretty much make all my food from scratch. I had to have an endoscopy which should gluten damage, had blood work which also indicated high gluten. 4 years ago when I had these tests my gluten levels were all in good alignment. It comes down to my levothyroxin accord brand that must have gluten in it. I switched to...

      That somes it up. It is worth mentioning GliadinX does not reduce symptoms for me at all. I also react to banana, avacado, cabbage, Oatmeal, and pecans among other things. If anyone else out there is like me, I had to eliminate gluten and all processed food before I could start to heal. I wish I had know this a long time ago. Thanks for the acknowledgement...

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      Thanks for sharing this detailed explanation. It’s really helpful to understand the differences between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. I had no idea that gluten withdrawal could feel similar to addiction, and it’s great to have that context when considering how it affects people. It’s also good to know how important it is to continue eating glute...

TRANSGLUA is, aka, TTG-IGA, another celiac disease antibody test. It was in normal range. tranigg is, aka, TTG-IGG, still another celiac disease antibody test. It was high, or above normal range. immaqnt is, I believe, what is also known as "total IGA" and at 160, looks to be in normal range since it wasn't flagged otherwise. This is a test for IGA deficiency. If someone is IGA deficient then all other IGA test scores cannot be trusted as being accurate. You are not IGA deficient. Here is a primer explaining the various tests that can be used to diagnose celiac disease: Celiac disease blood antibody testing is not valid when someone has been gluten free or eating low gluten for a significant period of time. The IGA tests are more specific for celiac disease than are the IGG tests but your slightly high TTG-IGG test score could reflect that you have celiac disease and have had low level exposure to gluten over time or a recent exposure. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      I'm 70, had gut issues my whole life.  15 years ago my grandchild was diagnosed with celiac.  Since I had a constant either constipation or diarrhea and what the doctors thought was fibromyalgia and other issues I decided to see what happens if I quit gluten.  I got a lot better.  BTW, 30 years ago I had head & neck cancer, the radiation destroyed my thyroid.  I suffer from chronic fatigue and have to take synthroid. A few months ago, I bought a bottle of Ice water, I was thirsty and all they had at the motel was this.  It said sugar free and had a bunch of vitamins.  I couldn't read the fine print so I thought it's safe, so I bought several bottles (it had sucralose and maltodextrin in it).  I thought one per day would be ok and it absolutely was delicious.  In the meantime, my wife found some links and bratwurst for breakfast, we didn't know it had wheat in it and we picked up a half gallon of her favorite ice cream and unknown to us they had changed the formula and added wheat.  I had several meals and several bottles before I realized something was wrong.  Did all the sugar add to the issue?   In a day, I wasn't feeling well, my joints started swelling.  In a couple days, I thought sure I had gout in both hands.  In three days, I needed help to stand up or sit down, the pain was extreme.  I went to the emergency room.  They took blood and gave me cholchistine to alleviate the gout, it did nothing.  I didn't get a report on the test.  The next week the doctor ordered more blood tests and it's all acronyms but a couple items on celiac were listed as high.  The nurse I asked about the report had no clue and the RA was negative.  This has been ongoing for over a month and only now am I able to use my hands, but it's painful. Under the Celiac labs headline it says:  endomys-Negat gliaiga-  5 gliaigg-  1 TRANGLUA -3 tranigg-  8  (high) immaqnt-  160 Rheumatoid factor <12 Thyroid stimulating hormone: 2.81 Does anyone know what this means?
