Are all Non flavoured Coffees Gluten free?

I saw a post the other day saying folgers could have cross contamination. What do you guys think? I've recently purchased and used maxwell house and am wondering if that might have cross contamination. I bought it about a week ago, have had it 3 times and am so sick. I was wondering what might have glutened me yesterday when a friend sent me the folgers link. 

 

What are your thoughts on coffee? Are there any brands that you've had and wondered if they might have been cross contaminated?

This article is written by a celiac who also has DH (thus she has to be a bit more careful).  She is pretty conservative, but I like what she writes:

Me?  I drink Yuban brewed.    I just drank some packaged Starbucks Decaf this afternoon that I purchased at Target and brewed at home.  I do order plain coffee at shops.   I do not worry about big major brands.  I do worry about smaller coffee companies, especially if they offer flavored coffees.  I really do not have time to investigate them.  

Coffee can bother anyone.   It can be pretty acidic.   It bothers me if my Gastritis acts up (separate from celiac disease).  I drink plenty of plain brewed coffee with cream or milk and I have never been glutened by it.  BTW, I am a healed (in remission) celiac per my last set of follow-up biopsies.

Some companies that do a roasted barely alternative on same lines or plant would be of concern, as well as companies that use some natural flavors, or additives to their flavor blends. If they do them on one line then there is a good chance of slight CC via grinders, packing machines etc.

Flavored, only one company I use after doing a TON of research a few years back when we had a HUGE thread debate about coffee....look it up and please do not open that can of worms lol. I ended up calling several companies and got many of them saying they could not say it was Gluten free as one of their flavored versions was not (mostly smaller flavored coffee companies)

Try Christoper Bean Coffee for your flavored. I have had wonderful luck with them, tested them, etc. ALL gluten free.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.

      Good day! New members here and I have a question about medication. My gastroenterologist made me stop some medication during the gluten challenge beforenthe screening test but I have a little surgery tomorrow and I need to know if I can use tylenol for half a day or if it will give me false results using it.   Thanks

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.
