Kaiti,

Hi, thanks for your reply about Reeds. Concerning the Coke/Pepsi soft drinks. They contain caramel flavoring, I thought that was unsafe?

Having trouble replying, the website will not let me. Dont know why.

Thanks again.

Nope, caramel coloring CAN be questionable but most of the time it is fine. Make sure you check but in this case they are safe.Most of softdrinks are gluten free. Enjoy :D Feel free to contact me if you need any help with anything.

Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi are also gluten free.

Many sodas are in fact gluten free. Be especially cautious of off brands because they may or may not be gluten free. Just always have to check on things with celiac.

My personal favorite sodas are Sprite and Dr Pepper.

MOST of Coke is gluten-free...diet, caffeine-free, diet and caffeine-free, diet coke with lemon, etc. ALL Pepsi, co. softdrinks are gluten-free...that includes not only Pepsi, but Slice, Mountain Dew, and a number of other drinks......

Caramel color is one of those questionable ingredients, like modified food starch.

Here are the Coke gluten free products from their response:

Coca-Cola classic, caffeine free Coca-Cola classic,

Coca-Cola C2, Diet Coke, Diet Coke with Lemon, Diet Coke with Lime, caffeine

free Diet Coke, Sprite, Sprite ReMix Berryclear, Diet Sprite Zero, vanilla Coke,

diet vanilla Coke, cherry Coke, Fresca, and our 100% juice products (without

added ingredients) are gluten free.

Additionally, we can tell you that all of our other products meet Codex's

definition of gluten-free, which is currently less than 200 ppm (parts per

million) (0.02%) gluten.

So technically they consider all their products gluten free but some may have trace amounts.

Basically, it's all gluten-free, but some aren't tested, so the manufacturers will only guarantee a select few:

Coca-Cola Company (www.coke.com) (ve=7/29/04)

Confirms that Coca-Cola classic, caffeine free Coca-Cola classic, Coca-Cola C2, Diet Coke, Diet Coke with Lemon, Diet Coke with Lime, caffeine free Diet Coke, Sprite, Sprite ReMix Berryclear, diet Sprite, vanilla Coke, diet vanilla Coke, cherry Coke, Fresca, and our 100% juice products (without added ingredients) are gluten free.  *Additionally, we can tell you that all of our other products meet Codex's definition of gluten-free, which is less than 200 ppm (0.02%) gluten. Codex has examined the data and determined that less than 200 ppm gluten is below the level in which people with celiac disease would experience adverse reactions. However, at this time the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not have a regulatory definition of gluten-free. We can assure you that the exact amount of gluten in these products is very low - perhaps even zero. Some minor ingredients in these products are manufactured from plants that gluten-sensitive people could react to, so we are unable to state categorically that they are totally gluten-free even though they may have undetectable levels of gluten in them. The Codex guideline provides a very low threshold for gluten content and exposures below this level are not expected to result in damage to the majority of gluten-sensitive individuals. However, extremely gluten-sensitive individuals should discuss consumption of these products with their health care provider.

Do you have the safe and forbidden list?

https://www.celiac.com/st_main.html?p_catid=12

Go to the link above if you do not have that yet. Also, if you haven't already, products such as makeups, shampoos, lotions, soaps, in addition to foods should be checked due to a high chance of ingestion in some way, shape, or form. This is a great source for information so you definitely came to the right place.Welcome :D

For those of us who are fond of the "off brands" I know that the Safeway select and Shasta soda's are gluten-free. I wish I would have know about the shasta gluten-free status when I was in the hospital last time. I gave up the "free cupboard of soda" and had someone alwas go buy me Coke or something.

      Probably celiac but also confused

      By terrymouse · Posted

      I'm 5'2" so it's weight I could afford to lose. I guess what's concerning is that it's not on purpose, I haven't been active because I don't have much energy, and it's been steadily going down since I started keeping track of it. So I'm not too worried about where I'm at right now, but it's something I'm keeping an eye on.

      A classic case of more than one medical problem going on at a time. We often forget that can happen. Are you concerned about your weight loss? Is your current weight too thin for your height, gender and general build?

      Thanks for clarifying! I'll put the gluten free thing on hold then. In late december last year I suddenly started having digestive issues I never had before. My stomach started feeling tight most of the time, I got full very quickly, little to no appetite, constipation, I started to feel ill after eating - sometimes a stomach ache, sometimes nauseous, or lightheaded, or heart beating fast. Some things worse than others, I started avoiding fatty foods in general because they made me throw up . I haven't had issues with food like this before, so this is all new to me. I started losing weight because eating was such a chore. I hadn't considered it could be celiac, but my GP added it to the list of things to test for and then referred me to the GI specialist when the results came back positive. They also found a large gallstone, which was causing me pain in the pit of my stomach, so I had my gallbladder removed in march. The pain is gone but otherwise everything else, the tightness and sensitivity and lack of appetite remains an issue, and I'm still losing weight. I was around 200 lb in december, right now I'm 152 lb.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      @Shining My Light, I am not a doctor or a trained medical professional of any kind. However, I was a hospital chaplain for many years and sat in on countless numbers of medical team meetings with doctors and nurses discussing the medical issues of their patients as well as tests administered and interventions applied. What I can tell you is that many diseases can only be diagnosed by running a battery of tests coming at the problem from different angles. It is normal to not have all the tests give a positive confirmation for a given disease. But rather, a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at what the balance of the test results from all angles suggest. This may especially be true of autoimmune conditions. You need to also understand that the degree and number of vitamin and mineral deficiencies and symptomology depends on a number of factors. For instance: 1. How many "celiac genes" are involved? Homozygous or heterozygous? and which genes? DQ2?, DQ8? or both? 2. How long ago was the onset of the celiac disease? How long has it been acting on the body? 10 months or 10 years? That will make a huge difference. 3. How much gluten has the person been accustomed to consuming since onset of celiac disease? The more they consume, the more damage you would expect. 4. What is the age of the person? Younger people have bodies that are more resilient than older people and can fight against disease more effectively. 5. What other health conditions is their immune system being tasked to deal with? 6. What is their general state of vigor? Some people just have stronger constitutions than others.

      @trents I do like the idea of the shake!  yes. I was expecting to have all my blood tests that were celiac related to be positive. I guess I’m confused about why they wouldn’t be. Nothing else in my blood work even gave a clue as to helping me either. All my vitamins were good other than D and that’s everyone in my state.    @RMJ how impressive to be able to make all those baked goods! I’ve been tasting some gluten free items. There is one thing I found that’s good and it’s Siete Cinnamon churro chips put over ice cream with chocolate syrup . Tastes like fried ice cream!  I’ve also noticed so many more things have a “gluten free” symbol on them. Restaurants mostly but also a lot of packaging. Maybe it’s always been there but obviously since my blood tests I’ve noticed.  I really hoped I would find someone who like me was sick a few weeks prior to getting their  TTG test and it was raised for a viral reason, or it’s a “fluke” or something else.
