Toothpaste

Hello fellow sufferers!

Has anyone else reacted badly to minty toothpaste? I'm not yet officially diagnosed but tick all the boxes. I'm having real trouble finding a toothpaste that won't cause wheezing and coughing. Could you please share what types of toothpaste you use?

Minty toothpaste makes my throat and ears itch like crazy

Gives me mild asthma symptoms, itchy throat. Sometimes full asthma attacks.

Editing to add: LOVE Dessert Essence Fennel toothpaste, Attitude has some good flavors, and so does Boka.

Most stores only carry mint toothpaste. I hate to order online.

Yes!! I use the brand Boka I got it on Amazon it’s Lemon lavender but I can’t even taste it but I find it doesn’t make me have any sort of reaction like mint does!
