i know that basic crest is gluten free but is it the same for all of there toothpastes i have hte one with bakingsoda/cavity protection/whitning- as i am a smoker and try to keep my teeth from going yellow, is there a better brand to use??

also i some questions, does deodarent matter since it does not get anywhere close to your mouth??

i use pure and natural soap and sometimes dove or zest are these gluten free? i have areally hard time trying to read ingrediants as my eyes like to skip back and forth on words and the small print makes it almost impossible, ok and this one is really off topic but i dont want to open another post i feel like i post to much so, Pots,pans,can openers and all those good kitchen products like that, do i really have to go out and buy new ones?? isnt cleaning them enough to prevent cc??? i know a toaster is a must but other then that shouldnt soap and hot water take care of any problems?? like i have a george forman grill i dont have to go out and get a new one do i??

all crest products are gluten free, according to the manufacturer.

in theory deoderant shouldn't matter, but most of us like to be 'complete'.

I know dove is gluten-free, do not know for sure about the others, but believe they are. (I think unilever says they'd label wheat in plain english.)

some pots and pans can be cleaned. any non-stick cookware that has any scratches on it will have small groves that can harbor gluten that you're not really going to be able to get out. soap doesn't "dissolve" gluten, nor does hot water, as you can tell by leaving stuck on pasta in a pot in the sink for days - you still need to scrub. stainless steel pans can usually be cleaned well enough - always by hand, the dishwasher isn't going to be sufficient if you're dual-purposing the pans. but you MUST be VERY thorough about cleaning. and forget about collanders; like toasters, just get a new one.

I don't know what the surfaces of those grills are like. if it's a non-stick surface, and you've used metal utensils on it (you're not supposed to use metal utensiles on non-stick cookware :o ), it may have problem scratches on it. you have to use your own best judgement about the shape it's in and how it's been used. in many cases, you would need to replace it, but certainly not in all cases if it's been well taken care of.

if it's a non-stick surface, absolutely do NOT scrub it with a metal scouring pad, or most scouring pads. you will only ruin it entirely and have to chuck the whole thing anyway.

      Getting sick much more often

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello there! @Jordan Carlson , you said "Now the last 3 ish years I have been sick more than I ever have been in my life. Could it be my immune system was so tired/fatigued prior to diagnosis that it just wouldnt turn on anymore? And now that my stress and inflammation is down its functioning stronger?" I think you may have that backwards.  Your immune system was running in high gear with undiagnosed Celiac Disease, and therefore fighting infections like colds and viruses before you had any symptoms.  Now that you've gone gluten free, your immune system may be depressed and not able to mount a strong immune response to colds and viruses because it is running low in essential vitamins and minerals needed for that immune response.  Hence you have more infections and worse symptoms now.   For strong immune responses, our bodies need vitamins and minerals that may be lacking on the gluten free diet.  Supplementing with essential nutrients boosts our ability to absorb the vitamins and minerals while our intestinal villi are healing in the first few years of recovery.   Many are low in vitamins and minerals that help our immune system, like Vitamin D, Vitamin C, zinc, iron, the eight B vitamins, especially Thiamine, selenium, and magnesium.   Have you talked to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals?   Correcting nutritional deficiencies is frequently overlooked after diagnosis.

      @trents I do take all the recommended vitamins and excersize regularly. Basically do all things labeled as a healthy lifestyle haha. Thats why I was thinking more this is my immune system now having the energy to fight viruses rather than being too stressed out as I have heard that it is a common thing when your body is over stressed due to underlying autoimmune diseases

      Jordan Carlson, Wheat flour is fortified with vitamins ("enriched") where as gluten free facsimile flours are not. So when you eliminate wheat flour from your diet you may lose a significant source of nutrition. At the same time, gluten-free prepackaged foods are practically devoid of vitamins and minerals, consisting mostly of highly processed high carbohydrate grain substitutes. Lots of rice flour and tapioca. Have you compensated by adding in some high quality gluten free vitamin and mineral supplements? We typically recommend this for new celiacs, especially at the front end of recovery before there has been very much healing of the small bowel villous lining and nutritional absorption is still poor. Edit: I edited my other post to direct it to Sanna King's post.

      Hey there @trents. I wish I could edit my original post. I am talking about getting a cold way more often, not gluten poisoning.

      Reply to Sanna King: As you have withdrawn gluten from your diet you have lost all tolerance to it that you had when consuming it on a regular basis. This is normal. Not everyone experiences it but it is common. It has been my experience as well. When I was consuming gluten every meal every day for years after the onset of celiac disease but before diagnosis I would experience mild GI symptoms like a little occasional diarrhea. After being gluten free for a significant time, any major exposure to gluten would make me violently ill. Hours of severe cramps and vomiting followed by hours of diarrhea. Like when my wife made me gluten-free biscuits and made herself wheat flour biscuits and I got them mixed up and ate a couple. I am not a super sensitive celiac in the sense of being made ill by small amounts of cross contamination but if I get a significant exposure like I just described it is awful.
