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.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted...

All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
