I think some rootbeers aren't gluten-free. Other than that, I think a lot of it is that it hasn't been tested. Coca-Cola, for example, hasn't tested Fanta, so they don't verify it as gluten-free. It probably is, but they won't say at this point. Always call on those generic brands.

I believe we decided Diet Cherry Coke is NOT gluten-free because it was not on the verified list sent to someone by Coca-Cola. It may be gluten-free but if they don't come right out and say it is, I don't trust it.

Coca-Cola hasn't found that any of their products are not gluten-free, but many have not been tested, such as Fanta that I mentioned. Additionally, those not on the list may have trace amounts of gluten, but are consistently low enough to be considered gluten-free. They're just covering their rears so they won't generally come out and say it if you e-mail.

Just for future reference, all soft drinks made by Pepsi, Co. are gluten-free. That of course, applies not only to Pepsi, diet Pepsi, etc., but all the other SODA PRODUCTS, such as Sierra Mist, Mountain Dew, Mug Root Beer, and all varieties of Pepsi (Pepsi Twist, Vanilla, One, Wild Cherry, Diet, etc.):

Remember that this does not apply to other beverages, just the soda/carbonated beverages. This information is available by going to the "ask lisa" section of the website. Type in "gluten" and they'll give yo the option to ask "Do your products contain gluten?" The answer (the corn syrup they refer to is about corn gluten, not gluten that hurts us):

There is no gluten in any soft drink produced by Pepsi-Cola Company in North America. Although high fructose corn syrup is derived from corn, the technology used in making this sweetener completely removes the protein fractions, leaving no residuals in the finished sweetener.

This applies to corn gluten and glutens that hurt us, such as wheat.

Yay, Pepsi! I guess I'll stick to them as much as possible just to be sure. Of course, I should stop drinking pop all together. ;)

Crappers.... Is my Sprite okay? I'd die without it ! :P

It is...if you e-mail Coca-Cola they'll send you an e-mail like this:

Thank you for contacting The Coca-Cola Company.

We are able to confirm that Coca-Cola classic, caffeine free Coca-Cola

classic, Coca-Cola C2, Diet Coke, Diet Coke with Lemon, Diet Coke with

Lime, caffeine free Diet Coke, Sprite, Sprite ReMix Berryclear, Diet

Sprite Zero, vanilla Coke, diet vanilla Coke, cherry Coke, Fresca, and

our 100% juice products (without added ingredients) are gluten free.

Additionally, we can tell you that all of our other products meet

Codex's definition of gluten-free, which is less than 200 ppm (0.02%)

gluten. Codex has examined the data and determined that less than 200 ppm

gluten is below the level in which people with celiac disease would

experience adverse reactions. However, at this time the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration does not have a regulatory definition of gluten-free.

We can assure you that the exact amount of gluten in these products is

very low - perhaps even zero. Some minor ingredients in these products

are manufactured from plants that gluten-sensitive people could react

to, so we are unable to state categorically that they are totally

gluten-free even though they may have undetectable levels of gluten in them.

The Codex guideline provides a very low threshold for gluten content

and exposures below this level are not expected to result in damage to

the majority of gluten-sensitive individuals. However, extremely

gluten-sensitive individuals should discuss consumption of these products with

their health care provider.

We hope that this information is helpful. Should you have additional

questions or comments, please visit our website again.

celiac3270, ODD, I didn't get THAT specific of an e-mail response. Just the above quoted response was all I got in response to my e-mail.

That's weird. Usually they give the above response or something very similar with just a few changes in wording. Sometimes they give you the below part about other products, sometimes just the products that they gurarantee are gluten-free.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
