Communion Fast

I'm pretty sure that the Communion fast pertains only to actually eating food, but someone told me that you shouldn't even brush your teeth with toothpaste if it's within the hour before Communion because it's more than water. Right/wrong?

The 1983 Code says in can. 919:

 

    “One who is to receive the Most Holy Eucharist is to abstain from any food or drink, with the exception only of water and medicine, for at least the period of one hour before Holy Communion.”

 

You don’t, however, break your fast by gargling or brushing your teeth.
