Tea Bags

[w8in4dave]

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
