Can Celiacs Or Gi People Have Pop/soda?

I am going to try eliminating gluten from my diet and I have some questions:

1. Can Celiacs or gluten intolerant people have pop/soda?

2. Is it okay to have oats/oatmeal?

While I'm here, I just noticed on my GI panel that the anti-gliadin test that I had done was actually SIgA (saliva). Is that as accurate as testing stool? Seems like from what I have read it's not.

Here are my results:

Gliadin AB, SIgA 34

range:

Borderline: 13-15 U/ml

Positive: >15 U/ml

*Tested at Diagnos-Techs, Inc.

What do my tests results mean to those of you that are living with Celiacs or Gluten Intolerance? If I am just gluten intolerant, can that be reversed eventually when my "leaky gut" is healed up???? My naturopath had me tested for food sensitivities too, and regarding gluten/grains, I scored low. I'm confused. If these were your test results, would you completely cut out gluten? I am so new to this. I am waiting for a couple of books to be returned at the library so I can learn more. Any help you all have would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you & God Bless,

~Shelly P.S. (I did print the forbidden and allowable food lists off this site.)

I don't know of any soda that is not gluten-free. Soft drinks made by the Pepsi Cola Company and those made by the Coca Cola Company are all gluten-free. Don't worry about caramel color; it's one of those celiac urban myths.

Oats are a subject of controversy, but most of us avoid them since they are almost always seriously contaminated with wheat.

Thank you Peter for your help on that. I didn't think pop had gluten, but wasn't sure. I don't drink much, but if I'm going to try this diet, I want to get it right.

How is it that oats contain wheat? Can someone explain this to me? I just buy Quaker 100% rolled oats. Do those have wheat in them?

Does anyone else have any input re: my test results? I know test results can be sketchy or not very valid compared to symptoms, but I would like to know what you think of the tests I had done thus far.

Thank you.

The tests you've had aren't a very strong proof of celiac. But I assume you have some symptoms to suspect it? If you don't want to pursue further testing for some reason, going gluten free for a while and seeing if your symptoms improve is also a way to test it. :) For a dietary test to be valid though you need to be 100% gluten free, otherwise you migth not improve and then you might think it's not the gluten even if it is, see what I mean?

The deal with oats is, during harvesting and milling and packaging and all that there's almost always serious cross contamination with wheat. There are a few special producers of guaranteed gluten free oats. But some celiacs also react to pure oats, so at this point, when you are still trying to find out what is wrong, I would avoid them completely.

quaker oats are not safe. even though the ingredients per se are, the growing and processing are NOT.

mccann's irish oats are supposed to be safe. they are grown and processed safely. but, there is still concerns bc the oat protein is very, very, very similar to the gluten protein.

and i'm drinking a coke right now :)

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

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
