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.

Chicago is beautiful in the fall.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      You should be fine. You may start feeling better within a few days. Someone who is very low in thiamine may notice improvement within hours. Did you get the NeuroMag or another magnesium supplement?

      Yes Bobs redmill cgf oatmeal I started when I became gluten-free. So taking all 3 with breakfast should work? Will I notice any reactions getting used to these or should I be fine. Thanks

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      Hello, @pilber309, welcome to the forum! Are you currently consuming dairy? You mentioned something about lots of yogurt and cheese, but did you cut it out or are you eating lots of it? Could you clarify please? Some people with Celiac react to casein, the protein in dairy the same as to gluten with antibodies and villi damage.

      You may want to skip the oatmeal. I believe you're trialing a gluten free diet while waiting for an appointment with your doctor in the new year and doing a gluten challenge then. Some people with Celiac disease react to the protein in oats called avenin the same as to gluten. Cross contamination between oats and gluten containing grains is possible. ...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      So I purchased the Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine along with the Thiamax. I will take along with my Super B Complexes. I stopped taking the multi vitamins. Should I take all 3 vitamins/supplements together with my morning oatmeal breakfast? Do you think I will experience any bad symptoms when taking them.

Yes, it will be fine to take them all together.  I take mine all together, B Complex, Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamine with breakfast. If you're really anxious about it, just take the B Complex and Benfotiamine at breakfast and the Thiamax at lunch.  You won't have to take a second B Complex with the Thiamax.
