Does anyone know if any flavored waters contain gluten? Also, does drinking alot of flavored water have the same or nearly the same benefits alot of plain water or does it have to be pure water?

I know that all Gatoraid products are gluten free to include Propel - all flavors. (at last check, which was recent).

Flavored water is definitely not the same as pure water, especially if it contains artificial sweetners and flavors. It tastes good but it's more like a soft drink. You can easily make your own flavored water though. Pour water into a pitcher and add some fresh cucumber and orange slices. Let the pitcher sit in the fridge overnight. Lemon also works well. If you make it yourself, your water will taste good and you won't have to worry about gluten or toxic artificial flavors.

I've always liked plain water with a slice of lemon or lime; after being used to that, the new flavored waters taste horribly chemical to me.

Love the idea of cucumber and orange--I'll have to try that! Thanks for posting the idea, Mango!

I am also not fond of the new flavored waters they all have a bitter taste to me. I used to like this water it came in a blue bottle...not even sure of the name...they dont make it anymore.

i think i remember this...was it all sorts of berry flavors? drank something like it when i was a kid, remember the blue bottle.

another good one is cucumber and honeydew water. i think when i tried it, they had mint in it too...but can't remember...

good ol' fresh water is the best to me :D or on occasion fruit juice (100% fruit) like Naked Juices :P mmm, my fave!

Anyone ever have a reaction to Fruit2O drinks?

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
