Kaiti,

Hi, thanks for your reply about Reeds. Concerning the Coke/Pepsi soft drinks. They contain caramel flavoring, I thought that was unsafe?

Having trouble replying, the website will not let me. Dont know why.

Thanks again.

Nope, caramel coloring CAN be questionable but most of the time it is fine. Make sure you check but in this case they are safe.Most of softdrinks are gluten free. Enjoy :D Feel free to contact me if you need any help with anything.

Hi,

Thanks again. I didnt know that Pepsi/Coke soft drinks were gluten-free. How about the Diet Coke/Pepsi drinks. Talk to you later. Take care.

Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi are also gluten free.

Many sodas are in fact gluten free. Be especially cautious of off brands because they may or may not be gluten free. Just always have to check on things with celiac.

My personal favorite sodas are Sprite and Dr Pepper.

MOST of Coke is gluten-free...diet, caffeine-free, diet and caffeine-free, diet coke with lemon, etc. ALL Pepsi, co. softdrinks are gluten-free...that includes not only Pepsi, but Slice, Mountain Dew, and a number of other drinks......

Caramel color is one of those questionable ingredients, like modified food starch.

Here are the Coke gluten free products from their response:

Coca-Cola classic, caffeine free Coca-Cola classic,

Coca-Cola C2, Diet Coke, Diet Coke with Lemon, Diet Coke with Lime, caffeine

free Diet Coke, Sprite, Sprite ReMix Berryclear, Diet Sprite Zero, vanilla Coke,

diet vanilla Coke, cherry Coke, Fresca, and our 100% juice products (without

added ingredients) are gluten free.

Additionally, we can tell you that all of our other products meet Codex's

definition of gluten-free, which is currently less than 200 ppm (parts per

million) (0.02%) gluten.

So technically they consider all their products gluten free but some may have trace amounts.

Basically, it's all gluten-free, but some aren't tested, so the manufacturers will only guarantee a select few:

Coca-Cola Company (www.coke.com) (ve=7/29/04)

Confirms that Coca-Cola classic, caffeine free Coca-Cola classic, Coca-Cola C2, Diet Coke, Diet Coke with Lemon, Diet Coke with Lime, caffeine free Diet Coke, Sprite, Sprite ReMix Berryclear, diet Sprite, vanilla Coke, diet vanilla Coke, cherry Coke, Fresca, and our 100% juice products (without added ingredients) are gluten free.  *Additionally, we can tell you that all of our other products meet Codex's definition of gluten-free, which is less than 200 ppm (0.02%) gluten. Codex has examined the data and determined that less than 200 ppm gluten is below the level in which people with celiac disease would experience adverse reactions. However, at this time the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not have a regulatory definition of gluten-free. We can assure you that the exact amount of gluten in these products is very low - perhaps even zero. Some minor ingredients in these products are manufactured from plants that gluten-sensitive people could react to, so we are unable to state categorically that they are totally gluten-free even though they may have undetectable levels of gluten in them. The Codex guideline provides a very low threshold for gluten content and exposures below this level are not expected to result in damage to the majority of gluten-sensitive individuals. However, extremely gluten-sensitive individuals should discuss consumption of these products with their health care provider.

Do you have the safe and forbidden list?

https://www.celiac.com/st_main.html?p_catid=12

Go to the link above if you do not have that yet. Also, if you haven't already, products such as makeups, shampoos, lotions, soaps, in addition to foods should be checked due to a high chance of ingestion in some way, shape, or form. This is a great source for information so you definitely came to the right place.Welcome :D

For those of us who are fond of the "off brands" I know that the Safeway select and Shasta soda's are gluten-free. I wish I would have know about the shasta gluten-free status when I was in the hospital last time. I gave up the "free cupboard of soda" and had someone alwas go buy me Coke or something.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By trents · Posted

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By trents · Posted

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By Steve-n-Portland · Posted

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
