I've read and seen reports saying Diet Coke and other Coca Cola products are gluten-free but anothers are saying it has gluten in it because of the Caramel Color in it. I don't drink pop a lot but I'd like to know for future reference. I was diagnosed with Celiac 2 and 1/2 weeks ago!

The caramal color thing is a myth that won't go away. No need to worry about them.

Most (if not all) caramel color in this country is derived from corn.

My daughter seems to react to colour 150 so I stay away from anything that looks like it might contain it.  Haven't looked at coke because I won't let her have caffeinated drinks yet at 9 so it's still a couple of years away from being explored.  I don't drink it myself so have never felt the need to look more into it, but she can't have Sars.  She's sensitive to a few colours and preservatives.  I can't have anything with MSG because it brings on asthma as well so she hasn't had it because it isn't something that makes an appearance in our home.

EWWWWW MSG!  My mother gets migraines from it... I used to get a lot of headaches when I was younger, so my mother suggested I cut out MSG, been a whole new person (when it comes to headaches) since!

 

As for sodas, I haven't come across one with gluten, and I was very careful at first with sodas, only drank sprite and things like that...(Or sodas with the caramel coloring that clearly stated gluten free... I fell in love with Blue Sky brand drinks) but now I drink diet coke and regular pepsi just fine... And I'm pretty sensitive.  Like someone else said, most color coloring here is corn based.  Actually, our sodas are corn based period... hence the reason why sodas here taste different from the rest of the world that makes their sodas sugar based.

If you can find Mexican Coke, that's sugar-sweetened, no corn syrup.  We have a little produce store that carries odd international things and the Mexican Coke is one of our prime reasons for going there!

We're in Australia so it's probably different here anyway.

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Hi @Soleihey, it looks like you are making great progress.  This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study:

      Can gallbladder issues cause symptoms of celiac disease?

      By robingfellow · Posted

      I've had symptoms of celiac disease since May 2022 (joint pain, severe migraines, digestive troubles, tachycardia, and hypothyroidism, fatigue) and couldn't figure out what was wrong, especially because I had no access to a doctor. In August of last year I tried a gluten free diet out of desperation and found all my symptoms clearing up! Especially the more of my diet I realized contained gluten and eliminated from my diet. I've even been able to maintain full-But just a couple weeks ago I had to have my gallbladder removed in am emergency surgery, and afterwards the surgeon suggested that a lot of my issues could have been caused by my gallbladder not working properly, but I haven't heard anything about that before. Any ideas? I don't want to try to reintroduce gluten without being certain it won't bring back my issues. It's already troubling enough to know I might have to reintroduce it to my diet just to be tested.

      Celebrity Luncheon Loaf Gluten Free

      By robingfellow · Posted

      I can also report from personally trying it that while not tasting quite as good as Spam, it is still very good especially compared to other Luncheon Loaf options that may not be gluten free
