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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
