Lattes And Cappuccino

I had a cappuccino yesterday after dinner and within an hour I was having extreme stomach pains. It felt much like a glutening, curled up in a ball in pain.

Anyone have problems with espresso? I don't usually drink them and I'm fine with my daily cup of coffee but lately my hubby and I go and get an afternoon latte or cappuccino. I've noticed my stomach hurting a little bit when I drink them, but yesterday was horrible, bloating too. I even had chills with it and this morning I woke up with a migraine. These are glutening symptoms for me but espresso doesn't contain gluten and it was not flavored. Regardless I'm giving them up but wondering what the heck got me, why was my reaction so much worse :-/

Lattes have a lot of milk. Maybe that is the issue?

If you're getting them while out, they could have somehow cc'd the milk (heated, frothed milk).

Try one at home.

Ok, the "neck pain thing" is the bane of my existence, and my best advice is...get a massage!

 

It's muscle weakness and it will spark up for no reason.

 

But if I have it all week...and it is WORSE, something is going on.

 

Check everything you are eating for CC.

 

IMHO, the cappuccino is not the culprit.

The chills sounds more like you are fighting an impending infection.  I have on a few occasions ordered a pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks without event.  However, its a CC gamble so as a general rule, I don't really order frothy drinks "out".  I do have a Keurig Vue that I will use to make cappuccino/latte.

 

As mentioned before, you could be reacting to the dairy…  There are technically no issue with the coffee element but for some people it does ramp up your gut and intestines…  I have a friends that drinks coffee to stay regular!  

 

Good luck.

Cross contamination!!!! At Starbucks they use the same mini vacuum for the pastry display as they use for the coffee grinder! It deposits crumbs into the coffee grinder and then into your coffee!

This can happen anywhere.

I think its either cc or the milk. I use lactose free milk in my cereal but lately I've been drinking the holiday drinks at Starbucks. Peppermint mochas and the lattes. Now today I have the "D" so something is going on :-(

I probably got too lax during the Holidays and wasn't paying enough attention to what I'm eating.

 

edited to add: I don't think it's cc from Starbucks, I often have a starbucks and we get coffee there a lot as well. I think I got cc'd during Christmas dinner or something

GretaJane, Please provide a credible source for this statement.  

 

Otherwise the reply should not be given any credibility as being true or factual.

 

Thank you,

If you usually drink lactose free milk - then it was probably an issue with all the milk in the lattes. They are mostly milk.

Yes, thank you for that. I would like to know the source of this idea as well. GretaJane, do you have a history of working at Starbucks, maybe? I've spent many years working in coffee shops, and never would have used a vacuum cleaner of any kind to get coffee grounds out of a pot.

However, I DO know that we often interchanged pumps for syrups, using the caramel one that had been washed and switching it to the chocolate one, for example. Washing gets most of the syrup out of the pump, but not all. That could be a source of cross contamination, but it's a risk that I typically take when I go out. Ain't nobody taking my Starbucks away from me! It's the one treat I am allowed to have when I go out anywhere!

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ? I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet. Rebound muscle pain so intense ...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
