So far only 2 flavors are gluten free... according to the web. Mountain blast and Grape. Other info claims they are all gltuten free. I had 2 of these drinks on friday and got a splitting migraine. Started drinking mixed berry powerade last night with gluten free dinner and got a headache, so i stopped. Finished it off later that evening(denial thing) and got a worse headache, woke up with migraine.

Anyone else have reactions to Powerade.

This is why I don't drink powerade or soda either. I drink plain water, water with fresh lemon juice - which is good and good for you, unsweetened green tea (an acquired taste), and sometimes coffee.

By the way, the more sugar you consume, the more your body will want. If you want to get away from craving sugary drinks, start cutting out 95% of the refined sugar in your diet and you'll notice that you won't even think about powerade anymore. This will also help with weightloss and probably fatigue as well. Just about the whole world is hooked on sugar, unaware that it isn't good for them. I read somewhere that it depletes your nutrients in order for the body to process it or something like that. I know I feel better without it, and I find it much easier to control what I eat.

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
