I have been sick for the last month. Upset stomach, headache, dizzy, weak, tired, the works. I literally eliminated everything from my diet except fresh meat, potatoes, canola oil, and Pepsi. I still had an upset stomach so I dropped the potatoes and tried strictly meat and salad (no salad dressing) and of course Pepsi. I feel like I have been injecting soy straight into my veins. I have tried eliminating everything but the Pepsi. Has anyone else noticed a difference since they changed the formula to Pepsi or is there something else going on with me I haven

I hate to state the obvious but have you tried eliminating the Pepsi for a bit?

CARBONATED WATER, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, CARAMEL COLOR, SUGAR, PHOSPHORIC ACID, CAFFEINE, CITRIC ACID, NATURAL FLAVOR

Eight ingredients - I can tolerate only one of them.

I agree - ditch the Pepsi for awhile. Depending on how much you've been consuming you may get the added joy of caffeine withdrawal to your other symptoms.

Dump the pepsi and stick to pure water for a while.

You can live without the pepsi, drop it then try again at another time.

If you do find that you are going through caffine withdrawl a bit of tea or a cup of coffee (neither to excess) might help you ease through it. I think the most common symptom of caffine withdrawl is a headache so a headache preperation with caffine might help also.

New formula? This looks like the same old one to me. I don't follow closely--when I do drink a cola I prefer those made by Coca-Cola. It is not about the ingredients, I just don't like the taste of Pepsi compared to Coke.

Now, maybe if they got rid of the HFCS...

      How to interpret my genetic test results

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response! Does this mean that each of my parents on their own may not have HLA-DQ8 but combined together gave me HLA-DQ8?

      Upset stomach

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Any chance you are getting traces of gluten in your diet? This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      How to interpret my genetic test results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your interpretation is on the right track! Based on your results, you do have one of the genetic markers associated with celiac risk—HLA-DQ8—which means you inherited DQA1*03 from one parent and DQB1*0302 from the other. These two alleles together form the HLA-DQ8 haplotype, so having both confirms the DQ8 positivity (not just one alone). Since you’re DQ2-negative but DQ8-positive, this still means you have a genetic predisposition to celiac (though not everyone with DQ8 develops it). If you’re experiencing symptoms, the next step would be discussing antibody testing (like tTG-IgA) or an endoscopy with your doctor, but I think you decided not to do the gluten challenge and just go gluten-free.

      gluten-free in Wilmington, DE

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A quick Google search turns up lots of options, but be careful eating out, as cross-contamination is common--even in restaurants that offer a gluten-free menu: https://www.google.com/search?q=gluten-free+in+Wilmington%2C+DE&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS981US983&oq=gluten-free+in+Wilmington%2C+DE

      Can Celiac flares affect my eyes?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s absolutely possible for celiac flares to affect your eyes—many people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity report eye inflammation (like uveitis or dry eyes) during systemic reactions. Since celiac is an autoimmune condition, the inflammation isn’t limited to just your gut; it can trigger immune responses elsewhere, including the eyes. The fact that your symptoms coincide suggests a clear connection, even if your diet has been strict. Cross-contamination or hidden gluten could still be playing a role, or it might be worth exploring other autoimmune triggers (like vitamin deficiencies or coexisting conditions). Have you talked to your doctor about testing for inflammation markers or seeing an ophthalmologist? It’s frustrating when symptoms persist despite your best efforts, but you’re not imagining this—research and patient accounts back it up. Here is a recent scientific paper on this: https://www.cureus.com/articles/358124-ocular-insights-exploring-uveitis-as-a-manifestation-of-celiac-disease#!/
