Learn about our editorial process Print Getty Images/Win Initiative When you think of sports drinks, you probably think of Gatorade, but there are a variety of different brands and formulations on the market, some gluten-free and some not. Unfortunately for those who are thinking of Gatorade and wondering if it's safe on the gluten-free diet, the company that makes Gatorade does not consider its drinks to be gluten-free (learn more below).

These facilities are GMP certified and flush all of their lines between productions, but if you are highly sensitive, it could be an issue."

Gatorade No Gluten Ingredients This ubiquitous sports drink is produced by a division of PepsiCo. According to the company: "None of the ingredients in Gatorade ready-to-drink, Gatorade mix (bulk and sticks), G2 products, Protein Recovery Shakes, and Prime Energy Chews are derived from grains or flours that have been linked to gluten sensitivity. While these products are not formulated using gluten-containing ingredients, they have NOT been tested to be gluten-free. There is a possibility the ingredients were exposed to/stored next to gluten-containing foods during processing." Meanwhile, the Gatorade Prime Nutrition Bar "contains ingredients that may have gluten protein content." Therefore, you unfortunately should steer clear of Gatorade products if you are sensitive to trace gluten.

According to the company: "None of the ingredients in Propel Electrolyte Water are derived from grains or flours that have been linked to gluten sensitivity."

Multiple brands, including Coco Libre, Vita Coco, and Zico, are considered gluten-free.
A Word From Verywell Keep in mind that those sports drinks that are considered safe on the gluten-free diet generally only are tested down to less than 20 parts per million, or ppm, of gluten. Since some people do react to gluten at levels below 20ppm, your mileage may vary on these drinks. If you're particularly sensitive to low levels of trace gluten, you may want to stick with BodyArmor or with a gluten-free-labeled coconut water brand.
