I've recently added to the list of things I am intolerant to...so far it includes gluten, dairy, soy, and corn. So now I'm discovering that corn is in EVERYTHING! So I'm looking for new toothpaste and mouthwash especially but also lotion, shampoo, and those kinds of things. Does anyone have any recommendations?

(I did get some new toothpaste but it tastes so bad I can't even use it :P )

You'll find a number of people here with the same allergies (and more) that you have. The best route to go is the most natural. (Heck, baking soda as toothpaste works and you can flavor it with a number of things, even sweeten it with xylitol or stevia if you want to, and, actually, baking soda to wash your hair, then apple cider vinegar (after the soda's been rinsed out) as a conditioner, is actually quite effective. Hydrogen peroxide is very good as a mouthwash (ask your dentist). And jojoba oil makes a good skin moisturizer.) But others will have plenty of advice on specific items that are free of those ingredients. (I only avoid gluten/dairy and minimize soy, and cook from scratch most of the time, so am minimally helpful.)

Oh, I'm so sorry. I don't have any recommendations for you though. My aunt's dog is allergic to almost all meat and corn too. Even though its not the same, a dog and a human.

It really gets so much better, once you eliminate all those nasty foods that have been making you sick. Corn is litterally in EVERYTHING - hopefully you are not too intolerant. I can have some, like my meds, but I try to keep it out of everything else. Like at home I use a sea salt without the anticaking agent (corn derived) so it you have to bang the shaker before you use it but it tastes better and you can use less. But, in public, I use regular salt.

This forum is for people who are very sensitive or allergic

very good but I don't have to avoid Klenex because it is in there. Either way, this is a great place to ask questions.

Some, not all, citric acid is derived from corn and if you don't want to call the company, which I don't usually do, I try the russian rullet method - if it makes me sick, it is probably the bad citric acid and I give it to the kids or hubby who don't have these restrictions.

Now, most lotions have soy so really watch those. Puffs plus (with lotion) has soy. Dove soap with moisturiser has soy - used it once, remembered to read the bottle because I couldn't figure out why I was sick that day, and 'lo and behold, bad stuff. I am currently using Oil of Olay with ribbons - blue because the pink had something bad for me in it.

When eating out, make sure you can find a place that is willing to cook for you in a skillet with olive oil or another oil that you can eat - just never, never veggie oil--you would be surprised at the number of places actually willing to cook for us, you just have to look for them and be willing to pay the price.

I would recommend finding a excellent practitioner in Bio-Set and treat those other allergies....I was a walking allergy billboard before I did this. Now I can eat just about anything I desire but of course it does NOT do anything for celiacs so no wheat for me.......

If you want to know more you can pm me.

What is Bio-Set and how did it help?

I use Gleem toothpaste--it's a very old toothpaste. I have used it my entire life and I am old :lol: ! I can't have corn, soy, rice, the glutens, of course, and nightshades, and and and!!!!!!!! I too can tolerate small amounts of corn, like in my meds and such.....the gleem doesn't bother me. Here on Long Island, I have found my gleem in the Dollar Store, yet Waldbaums (A&P) carries it and sometimes IGA. I use Pantene shampoo, Soapsoft Liquip Shower Soap, and I do use some Bath and Body Works lotions--I just am very careful about the ingredients in anything I buy. Any soy in a product and I will get a nasty rash--so that product is easy for me to detect!

for toothpaste have you tried baking soda? does not taste the best but works great. Also if you brush with nothing then do a peroxide rinse, then brush with the baking soda it works great.

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions...

      Why Bananas No Longer Cure Celiac Disease

      I missed this article when it was first put up. It is interesting to read, as my old neighbour who sadly passed away a few years ago was a trainee midwife during WWII. Bananas disappeared from the shops in Britain during the war, but she told me that those that did get to the UK were kept back for infants with coeliac disease. I didn't realise that...

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important...

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Are they close to a drug that will help celiacs with cross contamination

      By kate g · Posted

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?
