True? Maxwell House Instant Coffee Gf?

I just got a list of gluten-free foods from Kraft Foods

(http://www.kraftcanada.com/assets/docs/KLG_all.pdf)

and they say that their Maxwell House instant coffee is gluten-free. I had heard that all instant coffee cannot be gluten-free because of something they add on the production line to prevent clumping.

Is this really gluten-free? Are any other brands of instant coffee gluten-free?

thanks

In four years I've never found an instant coffee that wasn't gluten-free in the U.S.

Read the ingredients--if it says 100% coffee and nothing else, then it is fine. Be very leary of flavored coffees, they do many times contain gluten as do flavored teas. Always read the ingreds, never take anything for granted. I just found this info on an MSNBC website, by Phil Limbert:

Hidden sources of gluten:

Many vitamins and medications can contain gluten in their additives. Always check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any medication.

Be careful of cross-contaminating foods. This can happen in the toaster, deep fryer, griddle, etc.

Imitation seafood and instant or flavored coffees and teas

Glue on envelopes and postage stamps

Chewing gum

Some lotions, creams, and cosmetics

For more information go to www.celiac.org.

I  thought instant coffee was gluten free as well but apparently there is a cross contamination problem within the production process. I couldn't figure out what was causing my stomach problems and hives for a couple of weeks. I was told about the instant coffee issue and sure enough, as soon as I stopped drinking it and went back to brewed coffee, everything cleared up. Maybe it's just certain brands but this one said 100% coffee.

Just some info for anyone who likes the imitation seafood, the brand TransOcean is all gluten-free.  My husband makes up a seafood salad once in a while and I like it on cloud bread or rice cakes with some lettuce and tomato (or you could use it in a lettuce wrap).  

Also, has anyone found any flavored coffees or flavoring you can add to coffees that are gluten-free?  I know there are some flavored creamers that are gluten-free but some have corn syrup or soy or other ingredients I try to avoid.  I'd love to find some flavored coffees that are safe.  Any brands anyone has tried and  had good luck with?  I'd especially like to find decaf flavored coffee too.

The main sales rep has celiac in the family and I have tested all the flavors..and reviewed most of them. They are all gluten free and the dessert flavors are great to enjoy many flavors a bit. Try with a sweetener to really bring them out and I found Decaf to best best for my gut.

Ennis, I meant to ask you, are your coffee reviews for this brand online anywhere to read?  You also mentioned some flavored drops you recently discovered that you liked and I think had reviewed, and I was wondering about those reviews too.

The flavor drop company does not post their reviews it seems as their site is messed up and has not let people post them in years (capella). The coffees, if you look under reviews you will often see mine as Ennis or Erogo.....Seems some are lost....hmm need to redo some but here is a example Open Original Shared Link

Thanks Ennis.  There are so many flavors I want to try, and I don't know what to try first. I emailed them and asked if they could consider making more flavors available in their trial sizes.  Maybe if more customers ask them that, maybe they will consider it. How fun it would be to be able to get a bunch of different trial sizes to sample. Sadly, not a single one of the many flavors I am most curious to try are available in their sample sizes.  

Your review for the chocolate glazed donut flavor sounds good!  I will go look for reviews for the flavors I am most anxious to try first and see if you have any reviews for them too.  

...I saw your review for the Amaretto Almond Biscotti flavor. That is one I am really wanting to try.  Have you also tried the Almond In the Mood For Love, and/or the Amaretto one yet, to compare to the Amaretto Almond Biscotti?  This is where if they had all the flavors in trial sizes, it'd be so great.  I want to try all three, but that adds up in cost when you are trying for the first time to even see if you are going to like it or not.  Especially considering there are other flavors besides almond/amaretto that I really want to try out too. But I love almond cookies, amaretto, and marzipan flavors, and I'm not sure what one to try. 

I had a blueberry crumble coffee once that was so delicious.  But have had two other blueberry coffees since then that I didn't like.  And there are a variety of different chocolate flavors, caramel flavors, etc. on this coffee site, it's hard to decide what chocolate one to try, what caramel one, etc.  I guess I'll have to do eenie-meenie-minie-moe, lol.  That Highland Grog one sounds really good too, and I just saw your review for that.  Your reviews are very helpful.  You actually describe the flavor where as some other reviews just say they liked it or it was good. I really appreciate hearing about what the flavor is like. 

I might as well try one or two of the trial sizes, even though they are not on my top favorites to want to try first, but the price is good and who knows, one might become a favorite.  The Jamaica Me Crazy actually doesn't sound bad.  So many tempting flavors though on this website!  I need to stop being so indecisive and pick one already, and order, because I can't wait to get some and give it a try.

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      By Francis M · Posted

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
