Does anyone know if Minute Maid Lemonade-pink or yellow-frozen concentrate is gluten-free? I need an answer quicker than emailing the company if anyone can help! Delphi list said "all varieties" of minute maid is gluten-free but that is a pretty broad statement. Thank you!

Minute Maid is a Coca Cola company, so the broad statement is true. Minute maid is gluten-free.

Just got off phone with Minute Maid and was told that lemonade was NOT gluten free, because it is not on their list of gluten-free products. She was not aware of why not.

Not all Coke products were gluten free, but there is no list on the web.

We are new to this forum. My 16 year old daughter diagnosed with Celiac a few weeks ago. She just had gluten free pasta, sauce and fresh brocolli for lunch. She then sprinkled a little gluten-free mozzerlla on the pasta. She also drank some minute maid lemonade from concentrate. Her belly grew after lunch. So..... I called minute maid and they said it is gluten free. Now I wonder if it was the that she may be lactose intolerant as well. Or they aren't truthful at minute maid because I have seen some conflict on this forum regarding minute maid. Everything else she ate was labeled on the containers gluten free except the juice can. Can anyone advise?

Look at the ingredients. I use Minute Maid products all the time. There is no reason to put gluten in lemonade.

Might be the lactose.

Did you use the same pans & colanders that you used for gluten pasta?

I read the ingredients. There are natural flavors. I guess I'm getting used to when it is listed as gluten free, then I feel more confident. So is there a problem using pans I've cooked gluten foods in the past? Washing them isn't good enough?

Depends on the pans. If they are scratched or porous, they could have gluten stuck in the cracks. Colanders that you use to drain pasta seem really hard to clean. The sticky gluteny pasta bits stick in the holes and are really hard to get out.

You found cheese that says gluten-free on it? All cheese should be gluten-free unless it's a specialty thing or maybe a spread or cheese sauce.

Did you cook the pasta? If so was it a new pot, colander, pasta fork, etc? If not there could have been gluten lurking in the crevices.

If she is newly diagnosed she could also be having trouble with dairy. That often happens.

Wegman's brand is wonderful. On their packaging they little colored circles everything, gluten free (orange circle with G), lactose free (blue circle with L), vegan (green circle with V), high calcium (darker blue circle with HC), etc.

Makes shopping so much nicer. :)

Was it shredded cheese? Some brands have additives to keep the shredded cheese not stick together and clump in the bag. Most are safe, but check the brand. I stick to block cheese and shred it my self. I usually shred a bunch at a time and keep in a container.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      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?
