Reaction To Soda?

So, the first thing I ever identified as a problem was soda. Starting about four months ago, every time I drank it I would get an upset stomach. After this happened twice, I just cut it out. Then I cut out dairy. Then, two months ago, I went gluten-free. I have gotten somewhat better since going gluten free and improving my diet all-around, but not completely.

Today I was at World Market with my best friend and she bought a bottle of some really interesting Dandelion root/some other root soda. I wanted to try it--I know dandelion root is supposed to be good for your stomach and I checked the ingredients list for gluten/dairy. I just had one mouthful, then ate some almonds/dried fruit I'd brought along with me, and 45 minutes later, had D (I went a glorious three weeks without it, this was a frustrating disappointment).

So, what do you think? Can one mouthful cause a reaction? Or should I suspect a virus (I am always worrying about viruses) instead (or the fact that it's that time of the month.. sorry about TMI)? It couldn't have been anything else I ate, I only had the same old normal stuff today. (I did have a potato for the first time in a while yesterday, but that was almost 24 hours ago and my stomach was just fine until this afternoon. I really don't think I have a problem with potatoes, but I am not absolutely positive.)

Any advice and insight helps. Thank you so much.

This is a bit gross, but did your friend drink from it first? Does s/he eat gluten?

Of course a mouthful could cause a problem if you have an allergy or intolerance. Could it be sugar? High fructose corn syrup?

dilettantesteph - No, I never eat or drink after people. I should have clarified that, sorry.

Juliebove - Definitely not sugar, and I don't think I have a problem with high fructose corn syrup. The only thing that it seems like it could be is carbonation.

Do your gluten symptoms always happen immediately? Mine take about three days to appear.

Sodas are typically acidic. Lots of people, non Celiacs, have issues with them.

Are acidic foods a problem for you?

Lori2, I have never actually found out... since going gluten-free two months ago I have avoided gluten completely.

pricklypear1971 - Not to my knowledge. I drink orange juice every day and no problems.

Even when healthy before gluten-free I've had problems with soda. I keep Coke in the house, I keep it warm and add ice cubes. I can't have it late at night and 1 out of 4 times I have bathroom issues within 10 - 15 minutes. I think for me it has something to do with the carbonation. Try ice tea or juice while your out next time.

I also cannot drink orange juice, too much acid.

I can drink oj, too, as well as coffee. But if I drink more than one soda a week I burn my stomach and then can't eat any acidic foods at all.

Lots of people have issues with soda. I would just take it at face value unless you notice a pattern with other foods.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
