Augie,
I would not worry about the sorbitol in toothpaste. I , like Casey, use a toothpaste and mouthwash that both contain sorbitol. As long as you are not eating it straight out of the tube, you should be fine. Also, waiting about 30minutes before you eat or drink, will help limit the risk of sending any down to your tummy.
I do not think you will have much luck finding a toothpaste without an artifial sweetner. Toothpaste companies want people to buy their product, so it needs to taste good, and they can't use real sugar, because that would defeat the purpose of brushing your teeth. (plus it would make dentist very angry).
If you are really worried, then just use baking soda to brush your teeth. I used to work at a dentist office, and it is not really the toothpaste that is cleaning your teeth, it is the bristles or brushing motion. Maybe ask your dentist if he can get you a fluoride treatment product that contains no additives.
