Glutened By Dd Coffee/nature's Path Cereal/sundown Vits?

I'm being glutened by something in the mornings and can't figure out what it is! Has anyone had problems with any of these:

 

  • Dunkin Donuts Original Blend ground coffee
  • Nature's Path Envirokidz cereal (the Choco Chimps and Cinnamon Jungle Munch flavors)
  • Sundown Naturals Daily Multiple Vitamins with Iron (small tablets)

I don't want it to be the coffee but I think it might be the coffee :(

Not the coffee. I drink several cups of "Dunk's" a day with no ill effects. I would probably not drink it from one of their restaurants because of the chance of CC. (Someone packs a dozen donuts and then uses their gluteny fingers to put a new coffee filter in the basket - that kind of thing.) But the coffee you buy in the grocery store is fine.

 

If you're new to celiac it might just be that you are not healed yet. When your guts are so inflamed just about anything can make you feel sick. It doesn't mean you're being glutened.

 

Make sure you have something in your stomach before taking vitamins. I'm amazed that a lot of folks don't seem to know that. And if you can handle putting food in your stomach before coffee, that might help too.

They all appear to be gluten free assuming you make the coffee yourself. Have you developed a corn intolerance?

Iron can be hard for anyone to digest. Take some with orange juice as vitamin c allows iron to be absorbed more easily.

If you are new like Bart mentioned, maybe you should stick to whole foods for now. You really want heal fast! That cereal is full of sugar and carbs and does not offer much in terms of nutrtional value. What do you put on it? Many new Celiacs suffer from a temorary lactose intolerance.

I hope you find your answers!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
