For anyone that is not on Facebook, the following study was posted. The additive found to worsen IBD is also in other products such as toothpaste. Worth a read!

Hi Jessica,
This is a very interesting study. Titanium dioxide is the pigment that is put in a lot of white paints. It is a pricey pigment as pigments go in the colorant industry. Cheaper white paints will have no titanium dioxide and have a grayish look to them or cheaper white paints will have just a little titanium dioxide since it is a pricey pigment. Higher end white paints typically have a lot of titanium dioxide which gives the finished white wall a very bright white look to it. I'm assuming in the food/toothpaste industry titanium dioxide is a food additive to make the end product bright white.
Anyways, I guess the moral is don't eat foods or toothpastes that have ingredients that go on your walls.
Thanks for posting.
