I have noticed for the past few weeks that I am having trouble with coffee…has anyone else ever heard that celiacs often have trouble with coffee - it has properties that bring on the same response we might have to gluten. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Missy, and Welcome to the Forum  :)

 

There is no gluten in coffee, however you need to check flavoring or creams as they may.  For some coffee can be a natural laxative.  There are always a very small minority that coffee doesn't sit well with but If you have had no problem in the past then you should be fine with it.  If you are newly diagnosed then your gut may be healing and coffee may aggravate it for a little bit.

 

Good Luck to you,

 

Colleen

Coffee didn't sit well with me the first few weeks I was gluten-free, but I've had it four times in the last week and seem to be fine with it now! So maybe it's just a temporary reaction while the gut is healing...

Coffee is hard on the stomach (gastritis, etc) for many people - Celiac or not.  I do bet if I have a little milk with mine - seems to cut the acidity of the coffee.

 

I went to the International Celiac Disease Symposium in Sept - all the food served was gluten free.  We went through gallons of coffee every day!  :D

I drink coffee and I have problems with all sorts of other things.  Coffee has been found to be contaminated with gluten containing materials on occasion.  Open Original Shared Link

 

I buy whole beans to avoid that possibility.

Hi Steph, Thanks for that information.  It was you who I was thinking about when I said "a small minority", I just couldn't remember the specifics.

I have a problem with caffeine in general, but it started before I was diagnosed.  I think it was just upsetting my damaged gut.  I can drink tea now, but coffee…not so much, yet.  I read somewhere that instant coffee labels should be read, especially flavored instant coffees.  Try drinking very weak decaf for a bit.

I drink Folger's and I drink Dunkin' Donuts. Every day. Lots of it. I start my morning with it on an empty stomach. No problems whatsoever.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
