Crush Orange Liquid Water Enhancer

Hi, is there gluten in this? I can't find anything about it. We were having a wonderful evening at the park & when we came home my daughter had a homemade Popsicle made w/ orange crush liquid water enhancer (since we just found out Popsicles at the store contain wheat-who would have thought?!?) & began vomiting shortly after. Has anyone else had any issues? Thanks!

Never heard of it but probably gluten-free.   What Popsicles contain wheat?

According to the  Walmart site - 

Ingredients: Water, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Natural And Artificial Flavors, Sucralose, Contains 2% Or Less of The Following: Malic Acid, Acesulfame Potassium, Yellow 5, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative),

 

looks gluten-free.

You are just repeating someone's blog?  I thought you said you had found Popsicles with wheat in them.  Other than something with a crunchy coating or " cookies and cream", I have never seen a Popsicle with wheat.  And those are more like an ice cream bar.  

 

I thought you you had actually seen some Popsicles with wheat and could share the brand to help others.

we thought they were gluten free but so far she's vomited twice in 2 days after an orange Popsicle so I googled it & found that. So I just thought for sure that's what it was. And then tonight she vomited after an orange crush homemade Popsicle so we thought that had gluten. Idk. I'm at a loss! We're all upset, frustrated, & at our wits end. Her vomiting is still continuing & that was the common factor. I have no clue what it would be then! No cross contamination because we've gotten rid of everything & bought new.

It could be anything.  There is a lot of ingredient s in both things - so it's hard to tell what might be an issue.  Could even be something else because people do vomit for many reasons.

 

the best way to know if a food has gluten is to read the ingredients for your self before she consumes the food.

Thank you for your help! Something has glutened her we're assuming. Her dr said she will continue to vomit as her levels go down & her stomach heals (which really makes no sense to me).

Take this time to research all that you can about celiac disease.  Remember, it is a genetic autoimmune disorder that is triggered by gluten (flares up) and causes damage to the small intestine.  Why would she continue to vomit? First, I suspect that like everyone in the beginning, you will accidentally expose her to gluten.  Soon, this will rarely happen as you both become an experts!   Be sure to read our Newbie 101 pinned thread under "Coping".  It's right at the top.  Lots of sensible good tips regarding how to avoid gluten.  Then she may continue to vomit or feel poorly until her body starts to calm down in the absence of gluten.  This is not an allergy or intolerance that will stop symptoms within a day or so (as the offending food leaves the body).  celiac disease is a flare up.  Once it starts, it can take days, weeks or even months for the body to calm down.  That's why you have to be extra careful to NOT eat gluten.  

My MIL had MS.  Every spring, she would get a severe MS flare-up.  She could not walk for six weeks.  She had to go on temporary disability and strong medications that really did not help.    No one knew the cause of her flare-ups that were so severe.  There was no stopping it.  Luckily, we can prevent flare-ups in celiac disease.  A strict diet is the cure.  

While she is healing, try to stick to whole foods that you prepare yourself.  Fresh meat, fish, veggies, fruit. Cook them well.  It is hard to digest ANYTHING when you have so much damage.  I used my crockpot alot and had lots of stewed meat and veggies.  When I started to feel better, I added dairy and nuts which are harder to digest (at least for me).  Look at the ingredients on those Popsicles.  She can react to anything right now (the dyes, corn, gums, anything....).  So make your own out of just plain juice.  One ingredient.  Much healthier anyway for anyone!  At least for a few months.

Take care!  Hugs to your little girl!

Thank you so much! I'm learning it's a day to day, minute by minute process of her keeping her food down. She was sick yesterday morning vomiting but then had a great day until 10p at night & began vomiting up her dinner. It happens a lot at night times. She was ok for school today so I'm praying she'll make it through the day! Monday was the first whole day she's been there in a month! She said she sat in the bathroom stall after lunch crying & praying she wouldn't vomit. So much pressure on a 10 yr old. Thanks for all your advice. This has been such a scary, frustrating, upsetting experience. I'm praying that once it levels out we can helps others who are newly diagnosed like everyone has helped us.

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?
