And just to prove a point, not only am I on a gluten free diet which is helping a lot, I'm not panicking anymore, but also the other night when I cleaned my teeth my stomach became bloated and I felt ill. I'd been on a gluten free diet all day, so the only thing I could think of was the toothpaste.

On closer inspection of the ingredients and some detective work on the net it seems that Sorbitol can cause IBS symptoms.

Changed my toothpaste, no more problems.

So, don't think stomach problems don't cause anxiety and panic, cos in my case they do.

Try it, you may find it helps.

I don't know about sorbitol causing bloating or pain, but it is an efficient purgative if you take enough. Most products eg toothpaste only contain a small amount.
