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.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
