Does anyone drink the line of vitamin waters? Wondering if this would be a added boost to my diet.

They make me gassy but I think it's the sugar substitute that bothers me. I drink the SoBe Lifewater with no problems though.

I do sometimes.

Vitamin Water is gluten free. It's really just fancy sugar water, though, so if you're looking for vitamins, I'd get some vitamins. (I use it in place of Gatorade - times when I am specifically looking for the sugar.) (The sugar free version is then just artificially flavored fancy water. I'd stick with water.)

Vitamin waters are just overpriced bottled water. See the recent lawsuit against Vitamin Water because the claims on the bottle are a load of crap:

Before you start thinking Vitamin Water is healthy, have a look at this article. A Federal judge ruled that the health claims on Vitamin Water were misleading. The stuff is basically sugarwater with a trace of vitamins as a marketing ploy.

If you want vitamins, get a good multivitamin and mineral supplement, or eat nutrient dense foods like berries, greens, and bean sprouts. The drink called Emergen-C is good for B and C vitamins too.

I allow my daughter one of these per day. At first I objected, but... I have a super hard time getting her to eat her vegetables or take her vitamins. So I finally decided that at least with these she is getting some vitamins. Probably not the right ones though. She is very picky and will only drink the pink ones. Not sure what they have in them. She is only allowed to have the Zero kind. The kind with no calories.

Have you looked at the gummy vitamins? They're a pretty good alternative for picky kids and I'm pretty sure I saw some that were gluten-free. My nephews are really picky and that's about the best way to get vitamins into them.

I believe that Juice Plus gummy vitamins are gluten free.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
