Hello this is my first post, been reading but just signed on to chat. Was diagnosed about one year ago and still figuring the diet out. I was wondering if anyone knew about energy drinks, like red bull or rockstar. Also heard a rumor there could be gluten in toothpaste? Thanks for your help , Margaret :rolleyes:

I have no idea about the energy drinks. I do know that when I called Crest a couple months ago they said all their toothpastes are gluten free. Oral-B (they also make Zooth character toothpastes for kids) are not gluten free. They will not tell you any of their products are gluten free and my son was getting sick from their toothpaste.

Redbull is gluten-free.

Met with Dietitian on 19th and one of the things I was told is that only Crest and Colgate are gluten-free.

Rock star energy drinks are gluten and vegan free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Open Original Shared Link) drink up. It is the one thing I refuse to eliminate from my gluten-free diet.

I haven't had any reaction at all to Vitamin Energy, but Vitamin Water gives me a little grief. I would think it would be the other way around. Any insight on this?

YES!!!!

I drank a bottle of XXX Vitamin water December 27th and I had a swollen itchy face and horrible stomach swelling and pain before I even finished the bottle. I checked the label and calcium lactate and magnesium lactate are listed on the ingredients.

Here's where it got interesting:

I emailed the company and asked them about the source for these chemicals - they are both derived from lactic acid - and they stated that their product was vegan and all but told me I was a kook for saying I had a reaction to their product. I do have severe reactions to milk and that was the same reaction I have when I eat cheese on accident. Lactic acid can be made from beets, but I highly doubt that their supplement came from beets if I had such a strong reaction to it.

Jason Natural's kids line of toothpastes are gluten-free, but I have not checked on their adult line yet.

Are you sure Redbull is gluten-free? My tummy gets really bloated - I think the caramel colouring has gluten in it - Kim.

I don't think Rockstar is gluten-free - the caramel colouring causes me problems. As does Redbull and ginger ale - Kim.

Kim, please be aware that you are responding to a 4-year old thread and the original posters are probably no longer active on the forum. Caramel color here in the U.S. should be safe.

      Thanks Scott. its been a tough journey. i haven’t been able to take any painkillers for pain, because they all contain some form of cellulose. I’m finally working with a compounding pharmacist to get compounded Ibuprofen w/o cellulose filler … I’ll let you know how that works out. when I tell doctors about my problems with cellulose and medications, sadly they really don’t understand the magnitude of the problem. My reason for responding to the original post was to let others know they’re not crazy - and there’s such a thing as cellulose intolerance. Thank you so much for your response.

      Hello @CelluloseSick, it sounds like you’ve been through a really challenging journey trying to pinpoint and avoid cellulose fillers in medications. Severe migraines and liquid diarrhea, especially with Ulcerative Colitis, must make this an incredibly difficult issue to manage. It’s frustrating how hidden these ingredients can be, and it definitely takes a lot of detective work to connect the dots. While true cellulose allergies or intolerances don’t seem to be well-documented, some people do report digestive issues, headaches, or other symptoms when exposed to cellulose-based fillers. Unfortunately, there isn’t a clear statistic on what percentage of the population suffers from this, but anecdotal evidence suggests that you are not alone. Have you found any specific resources or medical professionals who acknowledge this issue? It’s great that you’ve been able to find compounded medications with sucrose fillers—hopefully, that continues to work for you!

      Btw, I recently switched from Compounded T3/T4 ( which had cellulose in it, unbeknown to me) and was making me sick to a brand called NP Thyroid. No cellulose filler

      So happy to have found this Post. ive been struggling with cellulose fillers in meds for years. When I found out, I looked for meds that do not contain cellulose filler or have had to get compounded meds made with sucrose filler. My reactions are:  severe migraines and liquid diarrhea ( not fun when you suffer from Ulcerative Colitis). not sure what percentage of the population suffer from such allergy. you'd have to be a pretty good sleuth to find this and make the connections. Bravo for you!   anyone know what percentage of population suffers from cellulose intolerance? thanks?

      If you replace the gluten products you normally ate with gluten-free versions, and I mean the breads, be careful, as many gluten-free products can be high in calories and low in nutrients (high carb).
