The research that I have read (and the testimony from a couple of
patients) relates to getting a toothpaste without
"sodium-lauryl-sulfate". Only the "Natural" formulation of Rembrandt
meets this requirement by my understanding. There are other toothpastes
(including plain baking soda) that fill the bill. Check the label of
ingredients and expect to reduce to number of episodes by 1/2- 2/3.
