Red Bull

Just needing a little pick me up every once in awhile, and I'm trying to figure out if Red Bull might be the answer. Has anyone tried Red Bull to battle the tiredness? And more importantly, is it gluten-free?

Thanks for the help

Yes! Yes! A thousand times, YES!

It's gluten-free, and I always drink one right after being glutened, it helps with the brain fog A LOT! It's all the b-vitamins.

I drink them in general as well, to help when I'm just too dang sleepy to function.

It's helped me write many a last minute term paper :) It's especially effective at 3am.

I've tried it. Personally I think it's pretty gross tasting. It gave me really bad heart burn. It didn't feel more energized then normal (Thank God cause I'm naturally hyper!!)

I have heart palputations so it makes it worse.

It is really gross warm, but decent ice cold. It's also one of the only things that tastes BETTER when you add vodka to it! :ph34r:

I only do that at da club though ;)

Hahaha...seems to be a very popular drink. My heart doesn't like it though. Skips a beat here and there...not good! :unsure:

Yes, it is gluten free!

(Thank goodness!)

It's the only thing that gets me through the day some days...... Coffee seems to irritate my intestines too much now......

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, there is a trend in the medical community to forego the endoscopy/biopsy and grant an official celiac diagnosis based on high tTG-IGA antibody scores alone. This trend started in the UK and is spreading to the USA medical community. And yes, 5-10x the normal level is what I have been seeing as the threshold as well. Here is the relevant section dealing from the article above dealing with the importance of the total IGA test being ordered. See the embedded attachment.

      Ok, interesting. Not what I was thinking that meant. I'm reading the article and trying to understand. I see this “According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy” My IgG is 90, which is 6 times. So to me that means it's highly likely I do have it.

      It just means you aren't IGA deficient, i.e., that IGA deficiency cannot have given you artificially low scores in the individual IGA celiac antibody tests. This is explained in the article Scott linked above.

      Normal range: 70 - 400 mg/dL, a little above middle of the range. So what does that mean? Thank you! I will check out that page you linked. Appreciate it!
