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.

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
