I LOVE the Lipton Green Tea that is "naturally" flavored with orange, passionfruit and jasmine. The ingredients say green tea, orange peel, jasmine tea, natural flavor and soy lecithin....being new to this, is this gluten free??? Only been four days, dont want to fall off the wagon!!

Diagnosed with Celiac Disease November 2009
2011:
Anemia is gone for the first time in my life, Yay!
Teeth are cleaner according to my dentist (interesting, eh???)
Eyesight has improved for the first time in my life (another interesting thing!)

**My advice to the newly diagnosed** HANG IN THERE!! It gets better and is so worth the seemly long road to getting better. Just be happy you can make yourself healthy with a diet change, and not have to take pills for the rest of your life. :D

When in doubt call the company. Chances are it is safe but it is a good idea to check on items that have 'natural flavors' just to be certain. A bonus to calling is that many companies will send coupons when you call with questions.

Hi Minnesota,

I drink gallons of this daily. It was gluten-free last time I checked the website (before I bought my last box). But they've changed the website and I can't find the gluten-free listing, so you may need to call them. Here's the website...
