Coca-cola (caffeine Free)

Hi,

I'm sure someone has asked this as some point but I couldn't find it. I drink caffeine free coke and it never occurred to me that it could have gluten until someone told me that seagrams ginger ale(of which I have a case in my apt) is not gluten-free. Is caffeine free coke safe? Does anyone know? How about sprite? Is there a list somewhere?

Thanks!!!!!!!

Who said that that ginger ale was not gluten free? I had not heard that before. What is the ingredient? Please clarify.

Thanks.

Just a note on Coke- coca cola goes by the Codex Standard for gluten free. If you trust the codex standard then all the products listed are safe. That being said both my DS and I seem to have had reactions from both coke and Dr. Pepper. Reactions are mostly skin related and mild but we go with clear sodas when we feel we have to have them.

The best thing to do if in doubt about a product is to first call the company themselves, then exclude the item for at least two weeks and reintroduce it in moderate amounts when you are feeling well. We sometimes react to things other than gluten, especially in the beginning. When first healing the less processed and simpler the better.

The owner of a gluten-free restaurant said that Seagrams ginger ale was not gluten-free. Something about the natural coloring?

Many Celiacs go by old rules that Natural flavorings weren't safe....but mostly they are. I have never heard that before, so I wouldn't be so sure to rule that ginger ale out :)

I would call the company before you make your decision!

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
