Coke has gluten in it, they can say gluten free if the % is low enough. I called them and that is what they told me.

I just found this in one of the emails that I recieved a long time ago......maybe you can contact them and see if the new flavor is gluten-free

"We are able to confirm that Coca-Cola classic, caffeine free Coca-Cola classic,

Coca-Cola C2, Diet Coke, Diet Coke with Lemon, Diet Coke with Lime, caffeine

free Diet Coke, Sprite, Sprite ReMix Berryclear, Diet Sprite Zero, vanilla Coke,

diet vanilla Coke, cherry Coke, Fresca, and our 100% juice products (without

added ingredients) are gluten free.

Additionally, we can tell you that all of our other products meet Codex's

definition of gluten-free, which is currently less than 200 ppm (parts per

million) (0.02%) gluten. Codex is in the process of reviewing this standard and

we are monitoring the progress closely. At this time the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration does not have a regulatory definition of gluten-free.

We can assure you that the exact amount of gluten in these products is very low

- perhaps even zero. Some minor ingredients in these products are manufactured

from plants that gluten-sensitive people could react to, so we are unable to

state categorically that they are totally gluten-free even though they may have

undetectable levels of gluten in them. The Codex guideline provides a very low

threshold for gluten content. However, extremely gluten-sensitive individuals

should discuss consumption of these products with their health care provider.

We hope that this information is helpful. Should you have additional questions

or comments, please visit our website again.

That is the gluten free coke list I have too. I've always had the cherry coke or regular and haven't had a problem. I was just wondering if anyone has confirmed the new black cherry vanillia coke. (it's two flavors in one)

Coca Cola finally responded to my email. They informed they would have to "research" my question and get back to me. It seems like they have not tested it yet to see if it contains gluten :(

that's weird, because a lot of people that i know use sprite when they aren't feeling well due to gluten.....i've never heard that coke wasn't gluten free before, i find this very strange...

As you saw in the list, there are certain ones that Coke will "guarantee" as gluten-free. Coke used to say ALL of their drinks were gluten-free but then changed their tune. I suspect (as do many others) that all their drinks are still gluten-free, but they won't "guarantee" the ones with ingredients they don't have as much control over because a lawyer told them not to.

I am NOT telling anybody to drink any drinks they won't say are gluten-free, but you'll note they say that the gluten content might even be zero. It probably is.

I love it! I brought a whole case of it about two weeks back or so. You're kidding---no. Sorry if it has gluten in it. I'm not giving up cokes. Anyway, I've had no problems with any Coca-Cola brand drinks! I've hated the fear of the caramel coloring in the cokes having gluten in them.

I really don't like "Codex's definition of gluten-free". Even though it may contain 0.02% of gluten, there's still gluten in it. Oh well. It's fustrating enough.

Well, if the Caramel color is made in the United States, then, it is probably gluten-free. I remember reading something about it where they use corn instead of wheat. But, you never know.

...I'm not sure...whatever, I'm not going to have a debate over it. :lol:

Caramel color can contain gluten, but most often does not. In Coke products, it does not.

Dextrose is sugar, so it is never gluten-containing. You might be confusing it with dextrin, which can be made of corn or wheat.

I really don't like "Codex's definition of gluten-free". Even though it may contain 0.02% of gluten, there's still gluten in it. Oh well. It's fustrating enough.

Well, CODEX is what Europe goes by and they're miles ahead of us. Since the Europeans are not all experiencing continuing symptoms or villous atrophy on their standard, I think it's safe. And after all, we ALL get some miniscule bit of gluten. If you eat any food that's processed, there's going to be a tiny bit--just so little that it doesn't matter... like the CODEX standard.

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
