I was a faithful powerade zero drinker for the last year. I seemed to do good with it. I had a flair, and thought it was the powerade. I switched to the Gatorade G2, and now I'm so constipated....

Any thoughts? Anyone know if these are gluten-free? Web sites aren't specific enough for me, and the most current post I can find on the web is from 2011. Anyone have any other suggestions? I like the magnesium in them, and I can't stand straight water.

Thanks!

What is the sugar substitute? I think thePowerade Zero has sucralose. I do well with it but some of the other sweeteners, not so good. Maybe that is the problem?

They are gluten free as far as I have seen by looking at ingredients .

If you feel you don't like straight water, I suggest three things:

1) very diluted juice - definitely cheaper and healthier for you than artificial beverages

2) TrueLemon - Open Original Shared Link, or one of their new flavors

3) consider getting an RO filter (reverse osmosis).  My husband is very picky about his water - he also generally hated water alone, unless it was the water he grew up on.  But we installed an RO system and he MUCH prefers the taste of the water now.  (I can hardly notice a difference at all.)

Good ideas!

When my boys were young, they didn't want water. They wanted Gatorade or juice. They loved putting a little lemon or lime juice in the water. Maybe you would like that?

I will look for this true lemon stuff!

myself I don't like to drink a bunch of juice and stuff because of the Calories, now watering it down is a great idea!! I tried the water filter stuff and to me it makes water taste worse!! Now there is a bottled water I do like I don't remember the name.  I don't drink water like half the country does. Heck my friend has a bottle of water with her constantly!! I am really??? If your that thirsty you have to carry water with you all the time. You need to go see a Dr. I do remember one time she told her Dr. She has to p all the time. He asked her how much water she drank, she said ohhh about a gallon, the Dr. Said why? She just shrugged her shoulders.

Other than coffee, water is all I drink. I had good well water when I lived in Connecticut, but out here the water is so full of minerals that not only does it taste bad, but if you make coffee with it twice, your coffee maker will be plugged up. I drink RO water now and it's good. Right now I buy it at the grocery store but someday I will get a system installed under my sink.

When you say "I tried the water filter stuff", what do you mean?  If you tried a charcol water filter, that is aboslutely entirely different than an RO filter (which requires at least two cartriges and tends to be hooked up under a sink as it requires sufficient water pressure to pass through the membrane filter).  If you found a bottled water acceptable, there's a good chance that RO water might work for you, or it's a mineral balance issue.

We had a water filter fitted to the end of our faucet, I couldn't stand the taste! I took it off 3 days after it was put on. It might of been Charcol. It was years ago ... 1 of our problems is we have VERY hard water!! it ruins everything!! I know people will say get a softner, but it won't work, neighbors get one and a year later they have to get a new one! Our water id that hard. SO getting  somethingthat our water runs thru will only ruin it! We have to change our faucets every year! It's horrid stuff!!

The water here is also EXTREMELY hard. But a lot of people have RO systems under their sinks. It is totally different from those filters you put on your faucet and totally different from a water softener. Most people I know have had theirs for years and depending on how much water you use, you only have to change the membranes once a year or less. The grocery stores even have machines and charge 50 cents a gallon. EVERYBODY here who doesn't have an RO system under the sink uses  the ones at the store. When you buy a gallon of water (indeed, even when you buy individual servings), unless it says "Spring water", what you are getting is RO water. As a matter of fact, some that claim to be spring water are actually RO water. It's delicious, it is cheap (after the initial investment) and it's good for you.

Yeah, you can't compare carbon filters to an RO system.  They are entirely different.  You can replace cartriges regularly, but you don't have to.  And it will get rid of the taste of the excess minerals in the water.

 

At the least, I strongly encourage you to look into it, and not dismiss it based on your experience with a totally different type of technology.

OK I think I know what your talking about now :) My BIL has one !! He (Poor guy) I blamed his water on my restroom problems when we ate over to his house. Anyhoo he got one of those!

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?
