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.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
