I am wondering about apple juice in particular. I just cannot seem to cope with it. I love the taste of it, always have, but it does absolutely nothing for stomach. I am wondering if anyone else has had issues with it has well.

Hi Richard,

How long have you been gluten-free?? I know that when I first went gluten-free I could not digest any juices (or fresh fruits or veggies either) and needed digestive enzymes to help be able to tolerate them again. After I have an accident these are the things that are hardest for me to digest again, so I take extra enzymes. I don't take the enzymes at every meal anymore, but when I first started on them I had to or I would get really bad indigestion and stomach pain.

Other than that, just make sure the brand of juice you are drinking is safe. Some juices add gluten, and I still can't figure out why. It isn't like the juice needs it! Most are safe though.

God bless,
Mariann

DO you know of any brands name of the top of your head? I am fairly new to gluten-free lifestyle and I have the problems with the fresh fruit as well. What enzymes are you taking? I have been trying to find one by biogest, but none of the specialty stores have it. Thanks for the reply.

MOTT's apple juice all the way! Both the "natural" kind that is kind of opaque and the regular kind that just says "100% juice" and is translucent are gluten free. My cousin who is a five year old autistic celiac, as well as my girlfriend who is an extremely sensative celiac have always been fine with Mott's! I know that my cousin also eats several of the Mott's brand apple sauces. I think a few of the apple sauces are off limits to because he cannot have soy either - but a few may have gluten, I'm not sure. The apple juice is definately fine though!

Other brands that I have seen listed as gluten free but have not tested are: Del Monte (all juices), Dole (all juices), Lucky Leaf apple juice and apply cider & sparkling apple cider, minute maid (all juices), musselman's, ocean spray 100% apple juice and safeway supermarket brand apple juice.

Hope that helps! smile.gif *i wish I could get a college degree in gluten-free foods!*

Knudsen juices are the best, nothing added and taste very good. The apple is my favorite.
