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.

      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.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. 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).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. 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?

      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?
