toothpaste has artificial sweetners, namely sorbitol, which makes most IBSers sick. Obviously dentists would not agree for real sugar to be in toothpaste, but manufacturers still want their product to taste good.
It does not really bother me, but I have read posts from others. Try not using as much, not swallowing any, rinsing very well, and not eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after you brush. If it still bothers you, you can brush your teeth with plain baking soda, but you won't get the benefits of flouride. But I used to work at a dentist office, and she said the brushing motion is what really cleans your teeth, the toothpaste is just a "frill".
