Gatorade

Hey folks, I checked the forums here and saw that a lot of people drink Gatorade with no issues. I also see, right from Quaker themselves that it is in fact Gluten free. I have a violent reaction to it. My stomache kicks it out within hours and I pay dearly for it for a couple of days. This is the exact type of reaction that I had when I drank Tropicana Grape Juice which has Natural Flavours that supposidly contain traces. The only other reaction similar to these is when I drink Tonic Water.

Any thoughts on this? I was pretty peaved that I couldn't tolerate Gatorade. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks

Nate

Funny...I was just going to post the exact same thing...

I was drinking gatorade because my family and I all caught the stomach flu and was hoping to rehydrate myself. I have drank it before and had problems, but was hoping I could tolerate it this time. I sometimes can have one, but usually I get a bad stomach pain.

The only thing I can reason is the dye may be causing us problems. I know my daughter is very sensitive to red dye #40 and you can just look at a bottle of gatorade and know there is a lot of dye in one bottle. My next step was going to try to drink a flavor that was clear.

Nope...no answers either!

Do either of you know if you are having problems with all flavors of Gatorade or just one flavor in particular?

No I haven't tried any of the other flavours except orange.

Guess it would have to be the colouring. Bummer. I'll maybe try a different one when I have time to wreck myself for a couple of days, lol.

I have tried several flavors with red, orange and purple and they all have gotten to me. Will try the other uncolored flavors later, too.

Seems strange that it causes the same type of reaction as a gluten reaction, I wonder if it really is safe.

I have called them, and they have assured me that their natural flavors do not contain any gluten. Nor do any of their other ingredients. I don't have any problem with gatorade, but what matters is how you feel after you have it. Unless there's another suspicious thing you came in contact with recently, it sounds like gatorade is out for you.

Gatorade seems to be one of those products that is constantly reformulating. For a few months last winter, all the flavors contained soy - which was listed, but I wasn't expecting it as it hadn't been there before, and then poof the soy was gone shortly thereafter.

Also, gatorade type drinks should be cut in half or more with water, as they can cause cramping and D. Nothing particular about celiacs, it happens to anyone.

Or, maybe your body doesn't like it more than others....?

I was wondering about the soy listing on their label. I didn't think it was there before.

The ones I have don't list soy.

If it cramps your stomache regardless then it prolly isn't that good to drink! lol, thats crazy.

I've tried about three times now. One day I got up in the morn on an empty stomache and drank about a quarter of the bottle and by mid morn I was crampin pretty bad. Funny how it emulates a gluten attack. Same symptoms and same results.

Nate,

I just tried a new flavor of gatorade and have been drinking it for about a week with no symptoms...there are a few flavors under this "Rain" category. I can drink the mixed berry and the green flavor. The mixed berry only has blue dye, no red or yellow, and some vegetable dye. It definitely doesn't have as much dye and tastes a little watered down, but I like it better then the original formula.

I have been using gatorade for years whenever my kids or I have D really bad, but since being gluten-free I have had MAJOR stomach problems with it. I don't understand it either. Will have to try different flavors, but so far grape, orange and lemon/lime have cramped me severely. Watch out, too for the other brands. I bought Powerade by mistake once and it is not gluten-free. Will be sure to try the rain flavors to see how it goes, thanks for the info.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference. Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells. I take it myself. Tryptophan will help heal the intestines. Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. I take mine with magnesium before bedtime...

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

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago. As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins.

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

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +
