Coffee?

Hey guys! I have a question about coffee. I'm newly diagnosed and confused. I bought Elisabeth Hasselbeck's book and she writes about being cautious about coffee. Is plain old unflavored coffee safe? I understand why some flavors or fancy drinks may be unsafe, but is a cup of coffee with milk (excluding a dairy issue) ok? I have some walmart brand 100% arabica k-cups and I assume they're fine, but wanted to ask!

I have no experience with K-cubs would I would not trust instant things like that. You have to be careful with certain brands that run flavor lines in the same facility on any coffee. I use a few brands I trust that do not do "Added Flavors" or have gluten-free certification. Most people never have issues with coffees, I have personally ran into starbucks, and a few others that I have bought unflavored grounds and gotten sick from the resulting brewed coffee.  

On a side note some celiacs react bad to coffee regardless, some find the caffeine bothers their gut or makes them feel bad with various systems similar to being glutened. Others say it helps them stay calm and clear minded, we are all different in how foods will react with us. I for one drink just tea and coffee all day, and find it relaxing. Brands I trust are FreshRoastedCoffee and Gerbs as I never have a issue with them.

They should be fine.  If you read the ingredients on the box they came in - it probably just lists coffee. Plain coffee beans or ground are fine.   I actually have never found a flavored coffee ( grounds or beans) to contain gluten but there is a small possibility they could use barley to sweeten them.  Also I would read every instant coffee mix - especially those fancy flavors.

the book you mentioned has a few questionable bits of info, so use your common sense if it seems extreme.

My aunt hasn't celiac and also said that. She thinks she goes a little overboard. I'm overwhelmed. Thank you!

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      I strongly agree with others about processed gluten free foods, like breads and pasta, being bad for us. Read the labels, full of this starch and that starch, seed oils that are inflammatory, etc. Before you were celiac, you probably wouldn't even touch something with those ingredients. I do much better with whole foods, meat, veggies, a little fruit. I made 90% myself, make extra and freeze it for future meals. Cutting out processed gluten free food and eating mostly real whoke food helped me feel much better. And definitely benfotiamine!

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please be sure to try Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride.  The form Thiamine Mononitrate is not absorbed nor utilized well.  Benfotiamine is much more bioavailable.  Perhaps Thiamine Mononitrate was in your previous B Complex supplements, explaining why they didn't work for you.   All the B vitamins work together.  Thiamine needs the other B vitamins to make enzymes and ATP, so you will need to take them.  Taking them in individual supplements is fine.  I've done the same.  Just remember you need all eight.   Let me know how it's going for you!

      Thanks! I am currently trying B1 out on its own. I tried many brands of B-complex and they always make me feel nauseous and tired. I think I may have to try taking each B vitamin on its own.
