Can Tea Make A Dumping Effect?

I had some tea today, but had cheese and hallapinio(SP?) two days ago by mistake. They put it on my sandwich at Red Robin. GRR After asking them not to. So I don't know what I'm reacting from. I had a bad reaction last Friday as well. I had some wine last night too. I know that can trigger IBS feelings. Has anyone ever been sensitive to tea or cafein products? I'm just so sensitive right now. I may be over stressing it.

Caffeine can be hard on a healing system.

 

I cannot handle caffeine because it causes my GERD to act up.

 

What type of tea was it?

 

While the others (cheese, jalapeno, and the other reation) do not jump out at me, the tea does.

It is hard to tell because you have had so much in the last couple days. Jalapeno ? Is that what you were saying? MY Daughter is sensitive to Caffeine products, Unless it is Gluten Free. She found some Gluten Free Tea somewhere. But she cannot drink Coffee at all!!

Have you had tea or coffee for the past few months?  Did you had a reaction then?   I'd put money on the cheese and jalapeno peppers.   Reactions can be immediate (seconds)  or take up to 48 hours.  As far as the wine is concerned, the tannin and sulfates have not triggered IBS symptoms for me but cause a Rosacea flare up (I'm vain, so I won't drink it).  Remember, if you're still new to the diet and are healing, you might have to skip the alcohol for a while longer.  Finally, you ate out.  The last glutening I had was at a Red Robin.  I wrote a Yelp and Find Me Gluten Free review and was contacted by corporate (corporate does read those online reviews).  I was told that my local Red Robin would follow-up.  But they have not!  I will not be going to a Red Robin anytime soon.  Instead, I'm happier watching my burger being made at In-N-Out or Five Guys!

Anything with caffeine can cause problems for some people. Some herbal teas can also, again for some people. The key is to find out what works and doesn't work for you. If other caffeinated beverages or products bother you, staying away from all types of teas with caffeine is probably a good idea. The teas with caffeine and that all come from the same plant are oolong, black, green and white. All others (including red) come from other sources and are naturally caffeine free.

 

If you're having a lot of reactions and you're not sure what they're to, maybe you should try a food diary to see what matches up. Remember, reactions can be delayed so it'll help determine if there is a common cause since you can be reacting to what you just ate or something you ate 2 days ago.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.   Your situation is a classic presentation: a negative celiac panel but a clear, recurring pattern of symptoms triggered by gluten. The symptoms you listed—particularly the extreme fatigue, bloating, neurological-psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and even the skin manifestations like facial flushing—are all well-documented in research on NCGS. It's important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this specific combination of physical and emotional reactions. The only way to know for sure is to commit to a strict, 100% gluten-free diet under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian for a period of several weeks to see if your symptoms significantly improve. It is also crucial to rule out other potential causes, so discussing these symptoms with a gastroenterologist is a very important next step.
