Stash Tea says on their website that all their teas are gluten free, yet my celiac boyfriend had a reaction to Stash Chai White Tea which he added nothing to besides hot water. Has anyone else had a reaction to Stash Teas?

Does he have a soy intolerance or allergy? A lot of tea's have soy lecithin added as a dispersing agent.

I never thought about a soy intolerance. I know he's paranoid of soy because he read in a magazine that its messing with testosterone and making men more feminine. (I am not sure I agree with this).

Start taking a look at the amount of soy in everything. It is in chocolate, many brands of nut milks, soups, broths, tea, syrups, etc, etc, etc,. It is in almost as many things as gluten. The one positive thing is that since it is one of the top 8 allergens, the FDA requires it to be clearly labelled. Though I have found a couple instances where I have had reactions that are my 'soy' reaction but the company denies it has any soy in it. Tazo 'Awake' tea is one. Halfway through a cup I started having a reaction to it. This happened more than once. They won't even respond to my inquiry so our family is done with the Tazo teas. And we drank a lot of it too.

I don't know about the validity of the feminine part, but I know there is more research showing that soy is not really that good of a protein to have, and possibly has some negative links to prostate cancer and does seem to impact testosterone levels. Actually the precursor hormones that are necessary to make testosterone are what are impacted in both genders, and there is some linkage with decreased estrogen levels in both genders as well. Both estrogen and testosterone are necessary hormones for men and women, it is the amounts and ratio that are at issue. Decreased estrogen levels in men can have significant negative effects on male body chemistry as well.

I am a celiac and have been drinking Stash premium green tea for about a year now with no reactions.  I suspect people are right, it's not about gluten, but probably something else.  Good luck.

My sister and I recently had a double spice chai tea f

rom Stash tea.  We both are celiac and we both had reactions.  I had the tea again a week later and suffered again.  So I do not trust the Stash tea brand.

Do you mean the caffeine free Spice Dragon Red Chai tea made by stash? I am new to gluten free and have been having an increase of symptoms despite gluten free diet and the only thing i've been consistently doing is drinking this "gluten free" tea.

I just had a reaction today (and now in hindsight, realize that it happened last week as well).  I used Stash Red Dragon Spiced Chai tea bags, but will be gifting the rest to a friend...

Interesting, I wonder if they have a contamination issue going on? Note that it does now say "gluten-free" on the packaging, and it is fairly common that spices can be contaminated (I ordered some turmeric online that did not say gluten-free, but listed only pure ingredients, but it tested positive for gluten using my Nima device):

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?
