Marilyn, while I have you on my

thread, what are your thoughts of zylitol used in mouth wash, and

toothpaste(no I don't swallow it!)? Any chance of it causing problems

somehow lingering in my mouth? I know it's a crazy question but whaddya

think?

It's a sugar alcohol, and it would be bad if you swallowed it.

Technically speaking, if you don't swallow it, there should not be an

issue.

However, because the mouth is part of the digestive system, there have

been a few reports that the xylitol was an issue. It's one of those

things that I think you would have to try... and if you are not seeing

the progress you hope for, pull the suspect item or items and see if your

progress resumes.

I will note that I still use my same commercial toothpaste, and have not

had an issue with it.
