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.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By trents · Posted

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
