G2 Low Calorie Gatorade

This is my first post and I have been gluten free for about a month now. The changes have been unbelievable, lower anxiety, headaches gone, dizzyness gone, bloating, well you get the picture. So I was surprised that I got really dizzy after drinking a low cal G2 drink considering it is listed gluten free on their website. My question is that sucrose is used as the artificial sweetener and this is listed as the ingredients of sucrose for gatorade's website: "Sucrose is a type of sugar. Sucralose is a no-calorie artificial sweetener. Like many no- and low-calorie sweeteners, sucralose contains a very small amount of common food ingredients, e.g., dextrose and/or maltodextrin, for volume. Because the amount of these ingredients is so small, it still has an insignificant calorie value per serving and meets FDA's standards for "no calorie" sweeteners."

Do you think this could have caused my reaction? Thanks in advance.

Welcome! Both dextrose and maltodextrin are safe to consume on a gluten-free diet. However, some people do have problems with artificial sweeteners. I simply don't like the taste of artificial sweeteners...or I should say, the after taste.

I had a similar reaction when I drank a G2 gatorade about a year ago, I also had some sharp abdominal pains with the light-headedness. I have never had a problem after drinking regular Gatorade. I think that I must of reacted to the artificial sweetener. I do not think it was a gluten reaction because I did not have prolonged symptoms (stiffness, fever, fatigue, etc) which I do after being exposed to gluten. I'm interested to see if anyone else has had a problem with this product.

I do OK with some artificial sugars. The ones they put in candy, not the sucralose, give me horrible stomach pains. My 18 yr old who has problems with aspartame ( stomach pains) in diet sodas is fine with the sugar alcohol in the sugar free chocolates& jelly beans. My 15 yr old can eat almost any sweetener, but a lot of high fructose corn syrup on an empty stomach hurts.

I guess we are all different.

Thanks everyone. I really feel like a kid learning how and what to eat all over again. I have found a couple of foods besides gluten that don't sit well with me, so I will add sucrose to my list. Now that my stomach is settled down I can tell much easier if something doesn't sit well compared to constantly having abdominal issues and not being able to pinpoint what caused it.

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.
