hello.  its been a while since i posted, so i hope someone doesn't mind helping me.  i was diagnosed with celiac over 4 years ago.  i realized the past few times i had to take prednisone i barely got any symptoms and rashes.  however, the past two weeks i get very sick from coffee.  i can do a half of a cup, but more than that i am sick all day into the next with stomach pain.  is the coffee affecting my stomach like gluten and dairy by making it sick?  any help would be appreciated.

Coffee has a lot of acid in it.  Could you be are having stomach issues with that?  

Coffee does not cause you to make Celiac antibodies that attack the intestines.

Thanks for getting back to me.  Well I stopped coffee and my stomach issues stopped...kinda stinks tho.  I was concerned about it attacking intestines...glad i know!  I am going through some forums because I still have some mild issues...but much better than years ago. :)

For me, I found that the effect of the coffee acid on my stomach kind of comes and goes.  I might have a few days it just hurts!  I use come creamer in it and that helps.  I can do dairy, but I really like the So Delicious vanilla creamer.  Maybe go a week or two and then try with creamer?  Or mix it with chocolate almond milk?

my hubby said that the acid is probably the culprit.  I like the the silk dairy free creamer,,,but i am going to stay away from coffee and see what happens.  i don't like being in these DF and gluten-free diets...but i have no choice.

Yeah we had a huge debate while back about the safety of coffee, most are safe, only exception is coffee from bulk bins in stores like whole foods or flavored artisan blends sometimes come into contact with contaminated scoops, ingredients, or in the VERY rare case they might use barley malt or roasted barley in a few flavor options. Name brands are normally safe, I contact a whole list of companies and did find that many companies that do "Specialty" flavored coffee do have gluten contamination issues NOTE these are smaller special order ones.  I also found one that is gluten free and the main rep has gluten issues and celiac in her family. If you want to try again Christopher Bean Coffee has some wonderful dessert flavored coffee that I get often.

Then again it could be as kareng says and just a acid issue and it irritating your damaged gut and intestine. But do not fret you should be able to have some once it heals. Decaffinated for now might be easier on your stomach and there is the brewed cocoa alternative from Crio Bru.

My grandmother always told me never to have tea or coffee on an empty stomach.  She said a few crackers, toast or cookies served with tea helped to avoid an “bilious” stomach.  She was a nurse.  Sometimes old advice still holds true.  ?

thank you guys for the information.  i have heard that coffee can never be 100% gluten-free...but i think more and more that it may be acid.  

thanks for all your help

A lot of celiac sufferers have restless legs. Coffee and especially diet soda greatly worsen my RLS.

      Toothpaste question.

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.

      I wasn’t clear, glucagon and gadolinium were intravenous. I drank about 5 cups of the prep during 45 minutes. I feel very tired now, probably partly because I was nervous, and partly because I had to fast for 6 hours beforehand and wasn’t very hungry when I got home.

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      The solution I had to drink contained sorbitol and mannitol. I was in the MRI, lying on my back, for about 40 minutes. I was given glucagon partway through, and a gadolinium contrast agent. After I got home there was some diarrhea from the prep solution.
