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.

It’s confusing I’m seeing a specialist soon after my ttg blood test being high 

Going gluten free It’s hard to change

      Hello,   I contacted the makers of Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix and they sent me this email.....   Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fw: Ref. ID:1335211 Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix.               On Friday, December 6, 2024, 1:04 PM, Consumer <baking@continentalmills.com> wrote: December 06, 2024   Dear Janie, Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding our Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix. We appreciate your interest and are happy to provide you with additional information. This product does not contain gluten. However, it is not manufactured in a gluten free facility. If I can be of further help, please contact me at 1 (800) 457-7744, weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (PT), or visit www.alpinecider.com and select "Contact Us." Sincerely, Kristin Kristin Consumer Relations Specialist Ref # 1335211   I hope this helps everyone.  I am currently looking for a spiced hot apple cider drink and have yet to find one that is not made in a plant that manufactures other gluten products.  It's so frustrating.

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.
