Eee Gads, I buy a big container of this every week, prefer it to OJ because it isn't so sweet. DP announced that Diane Sawyer was on national news outside Ocean Spray due to the arsenic posioning and reporting how many people have become sick from it.

I didn't see the news release myself, but thought you'd be interested in case you didn't see the news, especially since we don't need another "arsnic" ... already have our gluten rat poisin. :ph34r:

Is it only a certain batch or flavor or the sparkling? I have 4 different flavors at home plus the sparkling.

Subject to earlier news:

The subject of the article was naturally occurring arsenic in apple juice. Some brands tested higher than others. (I don't have the primary data). It was suggested that children under the age of seven, have the apple juice watered down. But, the alarm bell was not ringing.

It's a fluid story so let's wait for the facts. I have a two year old grand daughter who's drink of choice is toddlers apple juice. I can assure you, I will stay on top of this. :D

I was not aware of the story of Ocean Spray Sparkling . Humph, just bought it for the girls this weekend.It was consumed. Wonder if Vodka dilutes the arsenic.? :huh:

If your great-grandma didn't serve it to HER childern why would you serve to yours?!? Too easy peasy to make your own. You won't feed your kid gluten but you would pour sugar down their throats? If you made your own juice you might know what goes into it.....

I don't know about for everyone else, but in our case my children get maybe half a cup a day of juice and the rest of what they drink is water. And it may not be difficult to make juice, but with taking care of 2 young children who I am homeschooling it is too time consuming considering that we have to make almost all our food from scratch also. So in our case, it would come down to having time to make them juice or something else like schooling suffering. Sometimes things just have to be bought when you have young children.

I do make my own juice, and while it is easy, it is very time consuming. It's not for everyone.

You've got your facts all wrong. Ocean Spray wasn't even one of the brands named in the study and nobody has been arsenic poisoned. The low levels of arsenic were in apple and grape juice. Most of the apple juice concentrate comes from China, so it's partly another big Chinese food safety issue. (surprise, surprise) There is also natural arsenic in the groundwater and soil in some parts of the US that gets into trees.

Ocean Spray has a big voluntary recall of craisins because of the possibility of metal shavings in them. Perhaps you got the two mixed up.

Thank you for the info Skylark, I wasn't able to find anything about the Ocean Spray thing when I tried searching online.

I have a friend with a 22-month old who is working hard to find apple juice for her son that only uses US apples because of this article. She's buying Tree Top brand. That's how I happened to know about it.

Hmmm I wonder if Simply Apple would be made with US apples, I know the apples are the only ingredient.

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
