Soft Drinks

I'm alittle confused with what soft drinks are gluten free. I was under the impression all soft drinks with carmel coloring (dark colored drinks) are NOT gluten free and should be avoided but I've seen some discussions of some Celiacs drinking Cokes and Dr. Peppers. Does anyone know for sure if they are safe?

Coke and Pepsi are gluten free, as well as diet coke and pepsi. There are some people who react to the carmel coloring, but it is not gluten related. I am not a coffee drinker and a good cold pepsi in the morning is a must for me.

Coke is gluten free, I drink it all the time and have no problems. I am also not a coffee drinker so I need my coke in the morning. I love coke in the glass bottles....just too expensive.

According to the Delphi Gluten Free Product List - 2006:

All are gluten free -

Diet Rite - all

Dr. Pepper - all

V-8 - all (including splash)

Lipton Teas - all

Ocean Spray - all

Snapple - all

Tropicana 100% Juice - all

Hope this is a start.

The issue of carmel coloring seems to come up frequently. My understanding is that carmel color in the US is safe. It may or may not be safe if the carmel color is in a product not produced in the US. Most soft drinks are gluten-free as another poster pointed out.

I would like to ask is any one has had an issue with Stewarts Drinks....Cream Soda is a wonderful childhood memory for me. They are not listed on Delfi.

Soft drinks are generally gluten-free. I can't say every single one out there is, but in general soft drinks are very low on the danger scale. Caramel color simply is not a problem in the U.S.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.
