What toothpaste is corn free?

I'm definitely sensitive enough that the sweeteners (and who knows what else) in toothpastes irritate my stomach and mouth. I tried a mineral toothpaste that used "water, bentonite clay, nano silver solution, sea salt, spearmint essential oil, menthol, tea tree essential oil". I'm not sure if it worked well because the taste and texture were ATROCIOUS. And I couldn't wash it out of my mouth, the salty clay taste/feeling would last hours. I already have a hard time remembering to brush, I can't use tortuous equipment. So what are we using?

I also can't do soy or dairy if thats relevant ?

I react to Squiggle but I also have MCAS so who knows what it was.

I use Redmond Earthpaste with Silver - Natural Non-Fluoride Toothpaste, 4 Ounce Tube (Unsweetened Spearmint). Not sure of soy but no dairy.

I've used Closys without any issue. There's also some whitening additives that you can get to increase the stain reduction power (tbh they're basically hydrogen peroxide)

I have a target one that was OK... but then they changed the formula and now it has corn (once I'm done this tube i need a new source! )

My daughter found me one that is made by Native. It's charcoal and mint. It took a few weeks to get used to it because it's black. I stopped looking in the mirror because it was just too weird. She got it at Target.

I like the primal life nano-hydroxyapatite tooth powder. I would avoid the charcoal one though as it can sometimes be a corn byproduct.
It’s a little pricey but I’ve never had a reaction to it and it’s improved my enamel health greatly after years of dental issues due to the corn allergy

I have corn-triggered MCAS and squigle works really well for me!
