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.

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Kim, please be aware that you are responding to a 4-year old thread and the original posters are probably no longer active on the forum.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.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10). Since then it has gone up to 10. I am not happy with that. I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer. Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks...

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?
