Popsicle Brand Orange, Cherry, Grape Gluten Free?

I ate a Popsicle Brand Grape popsicle last night and at about 1 AM this morning I felt like a mack truck had hit me, hard.  I see on the Popsicle website that only 5 of the Sugar Free ones are considered Gluten Free but when I reviewed ALL of the ingredients on the box for the Grape, everything seems to be "safe". Can anyone enlighten me to what I am missing?  I have contacted Popsicle for information as well.  I was recently diagnosed approximately 2 months ago and am really feeling much better but can tell when I have eaten something that has gluten in it.  Just can't tell if this is a residual effect from accidentally eating gluten a few days ago, as I felt great yesterday, or did the grape popsicle do this to me.

I think the ingredients are fine, last I looked. I get stomach issues similar to a glutening from some artificial sugars.

It's only been 2 months and you say you have been getting glutened, so you probably haven't healed much. When your system is still " sick" lots of things can set it off.

If you were just glutened a few days ago, chances are it is just the effects of being glutened. Remember, celiac disease is an autoimmune response that is triggered by gluten. A "flare-up" or reaction can last for days to weeks. That means you can have good days and bad ones.

You could be reacting to anything right now since your small intestines are in the process of being damaged causing not only intestinal symptoms (pain, indigestion, malabsorption issues etc) but symptoms throughout your body (joint inflammation, insomnia etc.) Like Karen said, artificial sugars bother her. Eat simple foods for now. Cooked veggies, plenty of water, soups -- things that are easy to digest. Getting plenty of rest is helpful.

Thanks to both of you. It is so hard trying to figure this out. Lots of good information online about food, etc. but it is still hard when the flare ups do happen.  Was just so funny how good I felt yesterday then to wake up this morning and feel bad again.  I thought the sick part was over because it usually lasts a few days if I have a small exposure to it but apparently I really did it good when I had something on Saturday that had gluten in it.  Will definitely keep in mind that I will have good days and bad days.

 

So glad to have a site to come to and see how others react, etc. and compare because it is hard trying to figure this all out on my own.  We are in a rural area and I am not 100% convinced my doctor is aware of too much with the celiac.

Keep a food diary. Breakfast, lunch an dinner -  and in between meals  Gluten free is to feel good again.

 

Document foods you eat and what brand.  Document every thing you eat.  If  you have a questions about a product, ask us.  Read the label, and if in question, ask us.

      Yeah, that one is always hard, especially since life seems to revolve around food. That happened to me 2 weeks ago with hibachi and with Hungarian hot dogs. I used to be more picky, but now I would love to try all the things if I could. On the bright side, my husband is absolutely wonderful with it, and his mom often brings a few certified gluten-free things to family get-togethers just for me (and tries to make sure main dishes are safe too). Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.

      I hear you. My extended family is very good about factoring in my celiac disease safety needs when making family celebration meal plans but sometimes it breaks down in the spur of the moment decisions to "Oh, let's go out and get some teriyaki" or the like. Especially when my brother in law comes into town 'cause he's pretty particular about what he likes to eat. So, sometimes I just say, "You guys go ahead without me. I'll find some leftovers." But, still, I admit to feeling a little left out at such times and a little like a 5th wheel.

      Same, and I appreciate your comments. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sometimes, even when its a genuine mistake, it can feel all too hurtful and I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow still in my feelings.

      Yes, probably slipped his mind. Grace is in order here is my thought.

      I should have added that, while I dont have access during the meetings, I do as soon as I leave them (same for him) so I would have seen before I even left work. He has my number since we've needed to coordinate by cell a few times for work and other stuff. I usually have a protein bar or two in my desk for emergencies so I could have grabbed one of those and gone to meet them at the right restaurant.  Someone else decided on the change of restaurant and it must have slipped his mind that I wasn't coming back to my desk.
