I have been drinking diet pepsi since going gluten free as they say it is gluten free. I have been gluten-free since april 2011. as of lately I notice that I get very bloated as soon as a I drink it and now it is starting to give me wicked stomach pains a few hrs after drinking it and then next day comes the D. What is in it that would be causing me to have the same symptoms as being glutened any ideas? I only have maybe one a day some days don't have one at all.

Thank You

Melissa

This happened to me; my chiropractor told me to eliminate anything containing aspartame (mostly for my chronic back pain). Perhaps aspartame bugs you? Don't forget that the longer we are gluten free the more sensitive our guts can become to other things. :(

You might also be sensitive to preservative benzoates. Benzoates are in all soda pop except regular coke...which is full of sugar.

Some juices and other foods are preserved with sodium benzoates too. I have to avoid preservatives ever since I went gluten free. The chemical sweeteners bother me too. Just a thought.

I was going to say it could be the aspartame too. The diet pepsi itself is gluten free so it must be something else within in that's bugging your stomach.

You may also be allergic to corn. Corn lurks in practically everything, but comes in very high quantities in pop. In addition to my gluten allergy, I also found out after the fact that I was allergic to corn and artificial sweeteners (i.e., aspartame). It was symptoms such as you're describing that ended up pushing me to go to a "west coast medicine" type specialist whom helped me identify the other allergins. Changed my life!!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.
