Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Ya know, I don't see that as a problem, but I do know it could be a problem for some people. If all else fails, use baking soda and salt. I'll keep looking and get back to you. I'd also read ingredients in the tooth pastes and see if they happen to contain the bad stuff. I wonder what Elaine might say about tooth paste.

My guy swallows, so since we haven't found a toothpaste that doesn't list any illegal ingredients, we just use water. It works for us - his teeth are fine. Our dentist has said it's more about the brushing and RINSING actually. He said that with what we eat, there isn't a whole lot to worry about. He does want us to at least brush with water and rinse with water before bed. son - 5yo ASD, SCD 14months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 > Try baking soda. A negative aspect of using baking soda as toothpaste for my son was that his teeth did not stay white. They turned a bit grey. We swtched back to Weleda's Calendula Children's Toothpaste. In the EU it does not contain illegals (since my last phonecall). In the US they may.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 REGARDING WELEDA childrens tooth gel(made in Germany): I called to verify ingredients and was told that ALGIN is a thickener made from brown algae(seaweed) so it's illegal.

Periodically I dip my toothbrush in a little peroxide and then in the baking soda. Carol F. SCD 3 yrs. Celiac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
