After several weeks of searching and making phone calls to people who should know if Moxie is gluten-free, but didn't..as well as one call to a bottler that said, "What's GLUTEN?"

I found that Coca Cola bottling co of New England bottles Moxie and according to Justin who is in charge of the moxie's, "Moxie has been tested and is 100% gluten-free"

That is of course as of 12/22/09. Things change, always check.

yay!! Got my moxie's back! :D

He didn't know what gluten is--I'm sure even fewer people know about Moxie. I grew up on Long Island Sound in southern Connecticut. My father came from Maine and right up until his death he managed to return to Maine at least once a year. When I was little I remember him bringing home wooden boxes made to hold small glass bottles of Moxie. In those days Coke and Pepsi came in similar sizes. No body had heard of 2 liter plastic bottles! Vending machines dispensed bottles of soda for a nickel. Even then, Moxie wasn't found in a lot of places and my dad had to bring it home from Maine. He thought all flavored sodas, other than Moxie, were just carbonated sweet water. To this day I say Moxie tastes worse than Robitussin and almost as bad a beer. I vacation in Maine when I can and I have gone to the Moxie Mecca of Maine, Lisbon Falls. The store is gone now but maybe 15 years ago I went to an old soda fountain drug store and talked to Frank, the owner, who was a self proclaimed Moxie historian. In those days the town had a yearly Moxie festival and cars from all over the continent came to take part. Cars with Moxie number plates got to be in the front. I keep some Moxie in the house and occasionally offer it to people who have no idea what the first soft drinks tasted like around 1900. I even named one of my Siberian huskies Moxie. If anyone is interested, Google Moxie and you will find some really interesting stuff. It was quite the "in" drink for many years.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By Shining My Light · Posted

      @trents I’m pretty sure what I’m left with when separating celiac to other causes is my 10% being a virus. The one I had about 3 weeks before taking this TTG test. Everything I’ve read says type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis and some viruses are what could cause the elevation. The other blood tests I had I can compare things against.  I’m going to give your article a thorough read. My support in my circle is very small at the moment.  @knitty kitty I think before EGD I would like to do the DNA test. I’m going to start keeping a better journal also.  I’ve read a crazy amount of these “articles” - these two I’ve not seen. Some articles spell celiac differently. Thank you for sharing! I’m gonna dive into those.   I started seeing the functional medicine doctors from fluctuations in my hormones and major anxiety. Recently I realize it’s mostly health anxiety also so this is more challenging to depict real from imaginary thus all the research and the back and forth. I know anxiety to be a common symptom in perimenopause. I’ve fought it my whole life however. Likely due to lots of different trauma but seeing her was my last ditch effort to try something to avoid SSRIs, HRT, etc. She told me not to blame everything on my hormones when there could be an underlying problem, so she ran some tests to see if anything stood out. The TGG tests stood out.  I do find it very interesting now that I think about it that I don’t desire bread, pasta and pizza. Sometimes yes, but mostly no. I guess I didn’t give that much thought. Also didn’t realize that those foods do contain more gluten than the tortillas and cake/baked goods. About 3 months ago I started ordering meal kits to make dinner easier. I went back over the menus that I picked. I have probably had bread and pasta a hand full of times over the last couple months prior to having that blood test. We used to get pizza every Friday and stopped doing that also. I’m all fairness about 2 months leading up to these blood tests I had less gluten containing foods than I thought.    I’ve been praying for wisdom. Thankful to find some counsel from people who I believe have dove harder into this than most doctors have. Thanks for all the advice. It’s appreciated more than you know. 💕

      @knitty kitty My whole family has migraines and I started getting them at age 19, so I'm not sure mine are related to gluten, although I do feel like obviously the more inflamed my whole system is, the more likely I am to suffer from more of these things.

      @Alibu, Just wanted to add... Migraines can be caused by thiamine insufficiency.  I used to have them, regularly, but haven't since supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Magnesium Threonate.  These forms get into the brain easily and really improve migraines.  I do still get Ophthalmic migraines which are triggered by computer screens.  It's permanent damage from nutritional deficiencies.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace test is a more accurate test for sufficient thiamine. Keep us posted on your progress!

      @knitty kitty Thank you for those, I will definitely bring them up!  I did send a message to my doctor basically asking what they think so I'll go from there.  He may very well just decide that this was enough to diagnose celiac, but I have no clue what his thoughts are right now.  I also asked for a second opinion on the pathology.

      @HilaryM, Are you eating a diet high in carbohydrates?  You might find a Paleo diet easier on your digestive system.  A Paleo diet can promote changes in  intestinal flora, effectively starving out SIBO bacteria.   Be wary of gluten free processed foods.  Many are not enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals lost in processing like gluten containing foods are.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals while healing.  Vitamins are organic compounds that the body cannot make and so must get from the diet.   Supplementing ensures our bodies get a fair chance to absorb the essential nutrients it needs.
