5 Hour Energy

When I was on my way out with one of my friends about a week or so ago, we stopped for gas and he ran in to get a little bottle of that "5 hour Energy" drink... he said it works really well before workouts at the gym. Anyway, never try anything unless i know for sure that it is gluten-free, so I checked it out online, and in the FAQ section under "other concerns" it says: 5-Hour Energy is gluten free. So there you have it!

Just figured I'd share and save some of you the research time!

Thanks for that! I've used that energy source pre-gluten-free and actually have one but had put it aside. I like this one better than energy drinks as there is less of a crash at the end.

I LOVE 5 hour energy. Since I've gone gluten-free, I can't tolerate caffeine very well. So, I stay clear of the conventional energy drinks. 5 hour gives you way better wings than Red Bull!! :P Plus, the berry kind is delicious.

I recently saw commercials for 5-hour energy. I think I'll have to try it. Where can you buy it?

You can typically find it at the counter of most convenience stores. I think Walgreen's carries it too.

i still LOVE my coffee, but like you, cynical, it's a little rough on me since going gluten free. i have yet to try 5-hour but i might need it before heading to the gym tonight after a long day at work, so i'll let ya know how it works out for me :-)

I just checked the website under other concerns and it only states that it is sugar free.

      So as some of you already know I was 47 turning 48 before my diagnosis so a lot and a lot of internal damage. I no longer obviously drink beer unless gluten-free variants of it but does anyone else really struggle when just drink any sorts of alcohol now. I'm really thinking going tea total and avoiding it completely

      Hi CathiJean, Wipe those tears my friend.  Finding out that you have celiac just gave you the cheat code on how to start feeling better!  It may feel like a loss right now, but honestly within 6 months you will start feeling better.  Within a year you will look back and wonder how in the world did I survive feeling like that for what feels like a lifetime?  You mentioned 15 years, that's about how long I have been really ill as well.  I had told every doctor I saw that I kept getting sick, infections, hair loss, joint pain, etc. and nobody would listen to me until I turned 45.  I went in for a colonoscopy and the doc says how often do you have bowel movements and I said usually between 10-15 times a day.  Suddenly I had someone actually listen to me and the testing began.  What I can tell you is use this forum, talk to peers, read everything you can about how to gluten-free your kitchen, encourage your family to participate in your journey (trust me they love you enough to make the effort), how to order food in restaurants, and how to avoid cross contamination.  Accept that you will make mistakes and allow yourself grace as you implement your new normal and have a clear understanding that going gluten free will begin healing your body in ways that you will not even begin to understand until you actually do it.  So, have faith that the nutrient deficiencies that you are probably experiencing right now can be corrected and you are on a bright path to feeling SO much better.  Think about how incredible your mom journey is about to become as you begin to feel better!!  Your kids are going to be amazed at your energy levels, ability to play and go do stuff...you are leveling up knowing that you have Celiac.  Knowing gives you power my friend, harness it and have gratitude that it was discovered...even if the docs missed it - you know now and keep moving forward.  You got this!!

      If you have been eating the gluten equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for say, 4 weeks, I think a repeat blood test would be valid.

      it did include Total Immunoglobin A which was 135, and said to be in normal range. when i did the blood test in January I would say I was on a "light' gluten diet, but def not gluten free.  I didn't have any clue about the celiac thing then.  Since then I have been eating a tonne of gluten for the purpose of the endoscopy....so I'm debating just getting my blood test redone right away to see if it has changed so I'm not waiting another month...

      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?
