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.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
