Am I Being Glutened Or Is This Something Else?

I've been struggling with gluten-esque symtpoms for quite awhile and have just accepted them. I eat gluten free and I'm pretty careful so I'm not sure what the problem is. However, I was finally able to notice that I have symptoms after drinking 4C Totally Light 2 Go energy drink packets. I've looked thorugh the ingredients, however, and can't seem to locate anything with gluten. I thought perhaps the sucralose was the problem, but I drink Swiss Miss Diet Cocoa with Splenda without issues. Does anyone have any ideas? I'll post the ingredients for the water packets below. Thank you so much!

I am kind of wary of anything that has that many chemical ingredients. I don't know what half of them are. I try to limit myself to foods that I can actually pronounce.

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?

      I spent my first 50 years eating wheat products every single day with no ill affects. Being a 6’2” Italian you can imagine what my diet was like and believe me I had an appetite that wouldn’t quit. In the 90’s once I discovered the wheat was my problem I avoided it and no longer had IBS.  I seriously doubt I have celiac but I appreciate your input and will let you know if I have a problem with wheat again. I’ve been eating things I’ve longed for for decades and have never felt better.

      I would say two things and then I'm done. Many celiacs have been misdiagnosed for years with IBS. Testing for celiac disease requires regular and significant consumption of gluten for weeks/months in order to be valid.

      Can the rest of your household eat the food with gluten instead of getting rid of it? Can you create one shelf, or partial shelf, for your new food in the pantry, in the fridge and in the cabinets as a start? My husband is not gluten free so we each have a cabinet, and separate shelves in the fridge. If we have to share space the gluten free foods go on the upper shelves so crumbs with gluten can’t fall onto them. Good luck!
