Healthclue – Gluten Free Drinks. Most popular sodas (sometimes called “pop”) are gluten-free, according to the companies that make them. This is good news for soda fans who also have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten intolerance. Some popular drinks that their makers say are gluten-free are:
Seven Up Diet Coca-Cola Eat Coke Diet You can get Pepsi, Sprite, and Sunkist.
But before you go out and buy cases of different drinks to enjoy. Let’s talk about a few things that you should keep in mind.
A Look at Gluten-Free Soda
Only sodas from the U.S. and Canada are on this list of gluten-free drinks. Formulations change (sometimes greatly) from country to country, so a soda that is safe in the U.S. might not be safe in other places. Also, some sodas might not contain any gluten. But they might be made on shared tools or in a shared space, which makes them unsafe.
Next, this list only includes well-known drink brands. The same drinks sold in shop brands or generics might not have the same ingredients or be gluten-free. If the store doesn’t mark its own goods as “gluten-free,” you might do better to buy the big brand.
Third, all of these drinks have been through a lot of processing, and they are only called gluten-free if they have less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten.1. Because of this, if you are sensitive to less gluten than that, which a lot of people are. It might take you a few tries to find a gluten-free soda brand that works for you.
