Just be careful..to get back on my carrageenan kick here..lot's of toothepaste contain this too. That's why sadly I quit using Tom's Of Maine.

If you are still having digestive issues..check to see if your toothpaste..and/or other products contain this product.

I seem to be sensitive to carrageenan, I have been using Tom's not knowing what was gluten free...

What brand do you use that is gluten-free, soy free & Carrageenan free???

Thanks!

Oral-B won't claim any of their toothpastes are gluten free.

I posted in another area about toothpaste--Oral B was definitely one of the brands that caused the rash for my daughter.

Tom's of Maine is gluten free and now you can get a flouride and sodium laurel free version. Both are toxic to the body!!

Had a problem with Tom's, too, but it was years ago--maybe ingredients have changed. For us, we stick with Aqua-fresh--the kid's Bubblemint for daughter, Extra-fresh for me.

Saw another post here about Arm & Hammer Sensitive--I will try it. Thanks for the tip!!

Thanks for the reply. Curiosity is my middle name. :) By the way soy was the last link for me. I hope eliminating it gives you the relief I got. I do find it just as hard to avoid as gluten though, actually at this point harder. It seems anything that doesn't have gluten has soy. :angry:

Patti, I am also curious ...When you stopped consuming soy, did that include edamame (frozen or fresh soybeans)? I think I may have an intolerance to soy and have been eliminating it from my diet.

I am questioning if fresh or frozen soybeans are safe vs. eating processed soy products.

Thanks a million,

I stopped using sensodyne last week, and I no longer get tooth pain and my mouth doesnt ache. So there is something in it. It was the tarter control/whitening. Now i use crest and no pain.

I've never found a toothpaste that definitely has gluten. I won't use Oral B simply because they are uncooperative about all their products.

Richard-has the pronamel helped you at all? I am interested in trying to save the few teeth I have left!

Baking soda + hydrogen peroxide is the way to go! ;)

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.

      Yes, there is a trend in the medical community to forego the endoscopy/biopsy and grant an official celiac diagnosis based on high tTG-IGA antibody scores alone. This trend started in the UK and is spreading to the USA medical community. And yes, 5-10x the normal level is what I have been seeing as the threshold as well. Here is the relevant section dealing from the article above dealing with the importance of the total IGA test being ordered. See the embedded attachment.

      Ok, interesting. Not what I was thinking that meant. I'm reading the article and trying to understand. I see this “According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy” My IgG is 90, which is 6 times. So to me that means it's highly likely I do have it.

      It just means you aren't IGA deficient, i.e., that IGA deficiency cannot have given you artificially low scores in the individual IGA celiac antibody tests. This is explained in the article Scott linked above.

      Normal range: 70 - 400 mg/dL, a little above middle of the range. So what does that mean? Thank you! I will check out that page you linked. Appreciate it!
