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...

      Cross contamination

      By trents · Posted

      I'm like Cristiana. After getting glutened, in about two hours I start develop emesis that lasts for two or three hours with intense abdominal cramping. This is followed by several hours of diarrhea. It's like my body is doing everything it can to expel the gluten as it begins to leave my stomach and enter the small bowel. So, I'm not sure how much of it actually gets into my bloodstream to create a systemic effect. But once I get past those initial intense reactions and get rehydrated I feel a lot better. Just a day or two for me. And I should add that I am not a particularly sensitive celiac who reacts strongly to a tiny amount of cross contamination. It takes a decent amount of gluten to produce a discernable reaction in me. The last reaction I can remember having was precipitated by consuming a small appetizer-size cup of soup at a Chinese restaurant that had soy sauce in it. I was careful to choose things for the main meal that didn't have soy sauce in them but overlooked the appetizer.

      Clancy’s Hint of Lime tortilla chips Aldi

      By Saratonin · Posted

      Has anyone reacted to Clancy’s hint of lime tortilla chips? The bag says gluten free, but this is the only new food I’ve had recently and I was definitely glutened by something. I know Tostito’s brand doesn’t claim gluten free and these suspiciously taste very similar to how I remember those tasting.

      Hi @Michael McDonald and welcome to the forum. Everyone's experience varies, and I think what you are experiencing is normal, having read a lot of different accounts over the years.  Of course, there is always just a slight chance that gluten might still be getting in somewhere, or that your symptoms might also be down to a gastric virus or food poisoning too, it sometimes is difficult to be sure which is which! But from my own experience, my own reactions have changed over time. Now I react differently to a significant glutening (vomiting, chills, palpitations) and the effects are about 2-3 hours after the glutening.  Sorry for TMI but I think the gluten doesn't hang around in my system as long because I throw up. Before found it took me maybe over a week to feel a lot better.  Although I felt nauseous I wasn't actually sick, so I guess more time for the gluten to hang around in my system.  I would experience chills, dizziness and diarrhea immediately.  Then, bouts of feeling unwell again for perhaps the initial week.  As well as oten feeling just plain weird and out of things.  The thing other thing would be developing a gastritis like sore stomach which could go on for two weeks or more, in the ensuing days.  I would never recommend popping a PPI long-term (unless medically advised, of course,), but time has taught me that a short dose of omeprazole 20mg for maybe 2 -3 days post glutening  helps nip this gastritis pain in the bud.  I take it first thing in the morning, with a glass of water.

      It’s been 3 days so far. I think I might be on the mend, but every time I think that, I go on rewind.  Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it.
