Quick Question.....

Well, I just got a diet cherry Pepsi and I was wondering if even flavored soda is gluten free. I couldn't find it anywhere, so before I drink it, I would just like a quick 'okay!'

Thank you!

Hi! This is from delphi:

Coca-Cola Company (www.coke.com) (ve=7/29/04)

Confirms 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, 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 less than 200 ppm (0.02%) gluten. Codex has examined the data and determined that less than 200 ppm gluten is below the level in which people with celiac disease would experience adverse reactions. However, 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 and exposures below this level are not expected to result in damage to the majority of gluten-sensitive individuals. However, extremely gluten-sensitive individuals should discuss consumption of these products with their health care provider

That's the typical CYA response that is quite common, I have had no problem with Coke products.....

There was some debate on Welchs Grape Soda, couple lists show it having gluten, couple dont...some one psted here that wleches calims its gluten-free, so I would use caution with it unless you personaly confirm it. Other then that I have never heard of a soda having gluten in it. Alwys double check your self!

Welcome back Dani! Hope you had a great trip :)

Just an FYI, i used to drink diet vanilla coke a few years ago but found that it made me really dizzy and nauseous and i had to stop drinking it-- i know that it is gluten-free but sometimes soda (and especially diet) can have weird effects on people...so ur problems with coke may not be gluten related

I am guessing here, but perhaps the reason it affected you that way would be the aspartame. I have heard that stuff is evil!

Yea could be, all the artifcal sweetners carry some chance of causing GI symptons.

Aspartame does very bad things to me...I would rather eat gluten than have something with aspartame in it.

Welches grape soda IS gluten free! I confirmed it with the company and posted it here!

Welches Grape soda is gluten free... I confirmed it too...

I have had bad reactions to GENERIC soda's so always check with the company when in doubt.

Whole Foods Generic line of soda however, their 365 line, is CLEARLY labeled gluten free! And all natural and yummy

I wouldn't say all soda because I am sure that there is a kind with gluten. However, the Coke and Pepsi soft drinks are gluten free. I am not a fan of the artificial sweeteners though because they are just plain bad for you.

psawyer Proficient

While I understand that artificial sweetners cause some adverse effects for some people, as a diabetic I know that, for me, sugars, however natural and organic they may be, cause me serious problems with my blood glucose control. So, for me, aspartame is much better than sugar, even though it has risks of its own.

My wife sometimes says that I am sweet enough already without any added sugar ;)

Does anyone know if Dr. Brown's Black Cherry soda is? I've tried several times to find out, but have never gotten an answer..

What about Dr. Pepper and Barq's root beer?

amybeth Enthusiast

Dr. Pepper is gluten-free, and I'm totally addicted to it.

(So are the doctor pepper flavored jelly bellies - yum!)

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.
    • SilkieFairy
      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
