Toothpaste

I have so many questions: I hope you all don't get sick of me running around the message boards throwing them in.

I was curious about toothpaste. I read somewhere that Crest is gluten free; which is what I use, but it is some teeth whitening kind. I am undiagnosed so I don't know if my toothpaste problem is related or not, but whenever I brush my teeth 10-15 mins. later I get a few waves of nausea, and then it goes away. Has anyone else here had this happen? I am curious if it is another symptom or not. Thanks!

ALL Crest toothpastes are gluten-free. Colgate is gluten-free. Arm and Hammer is gluten-free. Virtually every toothpaste I've ever heard of is gluten-free.

I use Crest without issues (and I use different forms of Crest....sometimes I can't find one in the stores)......

Second, don't apologize for posting :) ....after all, the whole point of the board is to share experiences, ask a lot of questions, and get answers...if you couldn't ask questions, then this wouldn't be much help.....so don't apologize for asking questions..... :D We're happy to answer them if we can.

      Welcome to the forum, @Amyinwyoming! Answers to your question that you might receive may not be helpful to you as an individual since sensitivity levels vary significantly within the gluten sensitive/gluten intolerant/celiac community. The other complicating factor is that low levels of gluten in a product may not cause obvious symptoms but may still generate low level inflammation in the small bowel. When in doubt, it is best to pass on the product. I'm not a particularly sensitive celiac so I might allow myself to eat something at a guest's house that was made from a food product with the kind of disclaimer label you describe but I typically shy away from buying them or consuming them when I have a choice.

      Started having ataxia symptoms (tremor, twitching, leg weakness, slurred speech) approx 1 year ago. I have had extensive neurological testing and negative. However, I had celiac blood and gene testing that were both markedly positive. Have been gluten free for almost 1 year but still having episodes or flairs. Has anyone else experienced this?  I have been pretty strict about my diet and am also dairy free.  How long before it took you to feel like symptoms mostly resolved?    I would like to add I’ve also been pregnant for most of this time, so I’m seeing a lot of my symptoms return postpartum. Now that I’m also having regular bowel movements in comparison to the constipation from pregnancy, I am noticing evidence of malabsorption in my stool. I also lost weight postpartum quickly. I have an upcoming appointment with a G.I. to hopefully get an endoscopy done. I’m on several supplements and have no known deficiencies on bloodwork. Has anyone found that increasing fiber or starting a digestive enzyme supplement helped?    I am hoping there is still some chance for my body to heal since it has been 11 months on the diet.

      The package says - "made in a facility that processes wheat" - has anyone had a problem?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
