Tea Bags

Was told by a fellow Celiac that their Dr. Told them that every kind of tea had Gluten in it. I searched it on line and found that that is untrue. Most of your brands are gluten-free sometimes the Glue in the packaging can have Gluten in it and it can be CC'd other than that your Flavored teas may have Gluten in it. some Chinese teas may have some. But I am telling you , I hear stuff and bam! I get afraid to drink tea any more! Its crazy! I am telling you I have been so freaked out since she told me that! And she heard it from her DR. So I second guess what I read on line. I am freaked! I am being so fussy and touchy about what I eat or drink! Now no tea :( I think I need a dietitian , Should of taken that doc up on it when he offered.

There is no glue of any kind in tea bags. They are heat sealed. Wheat would dissolve in hot liquid.

You can find someone that will tell you just about everything has gluten - I have even seen people insist water does.

i drink tea :)  it's just plain red rose, but i'm fine with it.  i'm a purist with my tea - no flavorings, just hot tea w/sugar and milk <well, lactose lolz)  in jersey ya just order tea light and sweet :)  i have been fine with tetley, lipton, and a bunch of other brands, but they aren't anything but plain tea - i think it's orange/black pekoe cut, blah blah tea <just plain tea

Ohhhh Thank you! I can relax , I guess because she said her Dr said that. It freaked me right out! I do get just regular tetley tea usually if it is on sale. I will get another kind I cannot think of the name of it right now. But thanks because I don't need to get freaked out. LOL

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it. 
    • Zuma888
      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
