I know a lot of people have problems with high fructose corn syrup. Pepsi is doing " throw back" pop made with " real sugar!". Pepsi, Mt Dew and Dr Pepper. :P

Disclaimer: Yes, I know that they still aren't good for you. Not suggesting you drink these unless you have searched your inner most being and decided that these products are right for you. ;)

I spotted some of the Dr. Pepper at a Target a few months ago and decided to try it. It's called Heritage Dr. Pepper. It's the best soda I've ever had. :D I haven't been able to find any since, however. Apparently it's it high demand and short supply. Last I looked online people were selling 12 packs for $25 each. That's a little crazy. I wish they would just change all of their products over to real sugar instead of the HFCS crap. I only drink soda when I have a tummy ache (carbonation helps me with the gas), but now there's no way I can drink soda with HFCS. Not only is it bad for my health, but it tastes awful after having some of the real sugar stuff. :blink:

It is at the Target here in Kansas city. Also, see if your grocery sells "Mexican" CocaCola. Ours sell it by individual glass bottles. Pricey this way but if you just want one occasionally it's OK.

The "heritage" Dr Pepper is widely available in the DFW area, but TX is the home of Dr Pepper so that shouldn't come as a surprise.

And just a bit of off-topic clarification - Dr Pepper is NOT a Pepsi product. The fact that Pepsi has the throwback Pepsi/Mountain Dew is not related to the "throwback" Dr Pepper. Dr Pepper (a product of Dr Pepper Snapple Group) just celebrated 125 years and they decided to do a limited run with sugar. Obviously, they are also probably wanting to see the reaction to the sugar version, but it has nothing to do with Pepsi or their reformulated products.

It should also be noted that HFCS, although not good for you in my opinion, is still cheaper as a raw material. There is a reason why these companies stopped using sugar a long time ago. ;)

Folks that really like the idea and taste of Pepsi with sugar not HFCS should contact them. The bottles are marked 'limited time only' so it would be nice if we can deluge them with requests to keep it and they listen.

I bought a bottle of Pepsi Throwback at Wal Mart outside of Houston. It was really good, but I've not been able to find it anywhere since.

      Worried about being isolated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.

      Worried about being isolated

      By trents · Posted

      I would think that as long as you keep your food on a wrapper or on a paper plate you would not be at risk for cross contamination. You may be overthinking it all which is common for those in the first year of the celiac journey. But let me ask you. Are you feeling self-conscious about having a celiac diagnosis? I notice the term "isolated" in your thread title. Do you fear being shunned? I offer this video clip for your consideration:

      Worried about being isolated

      By Tanya177 · Posted

      I’m worried about cross contamination, as people don’t clear up properly. I take my own lunch in a packed lunch box with my own cutlery, plate etc and wash it all at home everyday rather than using the schools communal options. There is always crumbs or food left out for us to share on tables etc.

      Welcome to the forum, @Tanya177! Help us understand why you don't eat with the other staff members at the present time. I'm assuming you already pack your own lunch rather than eating school cafeteria food. Surely there are other staffers who bring their own lunches. How would this be different if you did not have celiac disease?
