Corn And Gluten Free Sensitive Teeth Toothpaste?

I have really bad teeth (and from what I'm learning, that's pretty common). I have been gluten free for a few weeks, but just discovered I react to corn too. I can't find a toothpaste made for sensitive teeth that doesn't have corn in it. Any suggestions?

Hi Wartburg,

This is my first post, but I've been reading this forum for over a year. So much great info here.

In addition to celiac, I am also ridiculously sensitive to corn. After some research, I found that the toothpaste I'd been using (Tom's of Maine) was not corn free. The only corn free, gluten free toothpaste that was suggested was Squigle (yes, only one 'g'). Here's the link: http://www.homesteadmarket.com/product/27/brand_squigle Switching to corn free toothpaste has gotten rid of dark spots on my teeth, and I can now brush my teeth without my gums bleeding. Hope it helps you, too. :)

@opa3, most toothpaste that contains corn doesn't actually contain pure corn, but things that are derived or sourced from corn. So it's not going to list 'corn', or 'made from corn' in the ingredients. But things like sorbitol, xylitol, dextrose, citric acid, xanthan gum...they all come from corn, typically. In my case, I found that the xylitol in Tom's of Maine was derived from corn. Squigle derives theirs from birch tree bark.

Unfortunately, as pointed out, that Colgate is not corn free. I was attempting to find something corn free but couldn't. What I use has a xylitol that is sometimes birch derived and sometimes corn derived. Hopefully that Squigle will work out for you. You could, as a last resort, always take the old fashioned homemade toothpaste route as well. It won't taste awesome, but it doesn't have to to get your teeth clean.

I stand corrected. :) Colgate Sensitive is OK by me.

Baking soda. After a while it actually tastes...refreshing.

My family (most of us) are "super" grain sensitive, and we use toothepaste made by the Green Beaver Company - we love the green apple flavour, which is also good for people who practise classical homeopathy. I also "oil pull" with coconut oil.

Thanks! I just ordered some Squigle on Amazon, and I will also look into the Green Beaver Company.

You're welcome, Wartburg. Hope it helps you. :) I know how frustrating it can be to have to search and search for simple things like toothpaste, just to find one that won't make you sick. I've learned so much from this community, so I'm happy to be able to pass along any info that might help someone else.

I started using My Magic Mud toothpaste several months ago. It's gluten-free, corn free (I'm very sensitive to corn), and it has some nice stuff in it. I found it local, but you can probably order it online.

I just checked out squigle as I need a grain and cornfree toothpaste,  but it contains vegetable oil,  a definite source of corn ? The my magic mud  toothpaste also contains corn in the form if xylitol, citric acid and xantham gum

Hi Christina, one of the ingredients in squiggle is glycerin from vegetable oil, do you know if it comes from corn?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies. It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about. Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis? Was your tTg IgA level very high? These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients. Are you eating...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse. Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain. Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease. It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune...

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders?

      Yes.  I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy.  Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates  did very little to help with symptoms
