Gluten free... But unable to claim it

[Jujube]

What would you recommend to replenish electrolytes and fluids? My go to had always been Gatorade, however, Gatorade admits they can not claim gluten free on their labeling. As I'm only 4 1/2 months into a Celiac diagnosis, at the age of 49, I'm quickly learning that regulations of how companies claim their gluten content status is deceiving, disheartening, help!

Gatorade is free from gluten and safe for celiacs.  It is even included on what we call the “Fasano” diet for non-responsive celiacs.   (Dr. Fasano is a leading Celiac Disease PED GI).  Read for yourself:

I use occasionally use Nunn tablets (certified gluten-free) because they do not contain all that sugar and can be easily transported (yeah, I cycle).  But now, unless it is really hot and I ride more than 30 miles, I just use water. 

If the company states gluten-free on the label, they must make sure the end product is really gluten free (below 20ppm).  Many companies do not want to go through this added expense.

Honestly, Gatorade is gluten-free, even though they don't claim it on their label. Coke and many other drinks also do not claim "gluten-free" but are. If you require this to be on your label you may need to make/mix your own version. Many things are naturally gluten-free and don't include this on their labels.

I started on Ultima Electrolyte powder, I needed something sugar free and free of artificial sweeteners. Been on it for months, best deals are to wait for 20% off sales from Vitacost or Thrive Market (if a member of the latter)

I use Flyby fuel and add lemon or lime squeezed in water.
