Gluten free... But unable to claim it

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.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Found coffee or coffee pods that contain gluten

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
