So I recently emailed glaceau after noticing some curious sounding ingredients on Vitamin Waters. I asked about gluten and this was the response:

thank you for your interest in glac

I asked this about 2 years ago and got the same response. Always good to have updated info.

I have not found gluten in mainstream " soft drinks" . It's still good to check the ingredients.

I gotta say though, I drank a vitamin water and didn't feel too good the next day. It may not have been gluten but vitamin water does have a lot of ingredients so perhaps it was something else. I guess this is one that people will have to try and see how it feels for them. Me personally, I'm gonna stay away from it.

Oh and it was "Modified Food Starch" on the waters label that I was concerned about to begin with. I know that if the starch contains Wheat, then it must be stated in parenthesis, but I don't think that applies to Rye or Barley, so it's tricky.

Rye or Barley would not be a component in Modified Food Starch. In the US, MFS is generally derived from corn.

Okay. Then I guess I was sensitive to one of the other ingredients. I take a gluten free daily multi anyway so I don't really need it.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
