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.

      gluten-free stool softener needed for after surgery

      By Jenny (AZ via TX) · Posted

      Can anyone recommend a gluten-free stool softener?  I’m having surgery soon and the surgeon recommended taking a stool softener with pain meds after surgery. I have had celiac for about 17 years but no need for stool softener until now and when looking for one am getting mixed results as to what is gluten free. From what I’ve found, it looks like Colace clear gel may be gluten-free but still unsure. I have found that MiraLAX is gluten-free but is a laxative, not a stool softener. Thanks so much!

      If possible find quinoa with a gluten-free label--when grown in Peru or Ecuador it is far less likely to have wheat contamination. Canada increasingly is producing more quinoa, and when grown there it the likelihood of wheat contamination is higher.

      Refractory celiac disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Grahamsnaturalworld What exactly do you include in your diet?  Do you keep a food journal to track symptoms? Have you tried an elimination diet like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  It's very strict, but I found it excellent for reducing inflammation, calming the immune system, and promoting healing in the gastrointestinal tract.   The AIP diet was developed by a doctor who is a Celiac herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, who wrote The Paleo Approach.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Sometimes vitamin deficiencies can manifest as gastrointestinal problems.  Which symptoms do you have currently that make you think your refractory?  How long have you been on a gluten free diet?  When were you diagnosed?

      Diagnosis confusion

      I think @trents may be correct here, and you've caught celiac disease in its early stages. A gluten-free diet might be the safest approach.

      Welcome to the forum, @Garlic! This kind of question is always a gray area and the answer must be nuanced. Ideally, every celiac should stay away from any potential source of gluten, however small. But we don't live in an ideal world and sometimes it is appropriate to take risks as long as the risks aren't too large and the consequences not too drastic. Realize these companies work hard at covering their butts against possible litigation so they often err on the side of abundant caution to guard against this. And Costco is a very conscientious organization as well. In reality, cross contamination from shared equipment is usually not a significant threat except to those celiacs on the ultra sensitive end of the spectrum. Do you fit that category? Note, we are talking about cross contamination from using shared equipment, not other sources of CC such as happens in cultivation, transportation and storage. I mention that because some types of products are typically heavily cross contaminated in these other ways. A prime example is dried legumes.
