I have never found any coffee that you make in a coffee pot or keurig that was not gluten-free.  

And Mt Dew is gluten-free.  ?

Plain Coffee is gluten free.  So, no worries.  But be careful with Instant coffees that may not be gluten free.  

Make it a date and head over to a big box store.  Cheap coffee makers work just as well as fancy ones.  If you are into being green, avoid a Keurig machine.  It is kind of expensive, but might be worth it keeping coffee fresher if you both do not drink it.  Or look into a pour over or French press system.  Very green.  I use a Melitta pour over coffee system because I like to avoid plastic.  But that is just my personal preference.  It also impresses my daughter’s boyfriend as he is a coffee snob.  ?

I take it that you are trying to give up a sugary soda habit.  Good for you!  I did not start drinking coffee until I was 40.  Now I am addicted.  ?

I use Christopher Bean Flavored Coffees myself...I talked to one of their reps who had celiac in the family and I even was testing a few of theirs out of paranoia years ago and it was all safe.
I have found issues with some flavored coffee, and bulk bin coffee. I messaged several companies years ago and many told me not to drink their coffee...The major brands plain coffee should be fine though but do avoid any instant ones.

As for a coffee makers I would suggest a cheap pour over....unless your like me...in which case you can get a Newco IA-TD But I had to run water lines to it and install filters...But I love having boiling hot water on demand from the tap for tea etc.

You will find many to be labeled gluten free...used to see it on the delight ones.
I personally just use Almond, Cashew (rich and creamy) or coconut milk for creamers as dairy can be a issue for some celiacs...I think almond breeze even released a extra thick and rich coffee creamer.

A lot of it says gluten-free on it - international delight, and nestles?  Does he want a flavored creamer?  Maybe just milk or half and half and sugar ?

You sound like you need to take a breath!  

They don’t add gluten to make it 20ppm.  Coffee and creamer are usually just naturally gluten-free.  I use International Delight and have never had issues.

My hubby uses Coffee Mate.  It states gluten free on  the label. Sometimes I get him the almond-based one.  I prefer half and half.  But I confess, I had International Delight this summer. My cousin loves the chocolate one.  She is gluten free too.  But it is too sweet for more than a once in a while treat if you have diabetes like me.  

I get the anxiety of getting glutened.  I can tell you that it improves with time.  

I used to buy croissants from Costco for my daughter’s lunch. I put the in zip-lock bags and froze them.  I touched them all the time and carefully washed my hands.  I made sure not to let crumbs get on the counter.  Same with a frozen burrito. I placed in on parchment paper, sealed the paper and microwaved the burrito.  (She is in a dorm now.....)

Just touching gluten is not going to make you sick.  Just take precautions.  

When my kid came home from anywhere, she washed her hands.  We all do because of germs (besides gluten).    Just have your boyfriend brush his teeth and wash his hands before he comes into your home.   He is not covered in gluten unless works in a bakery, pizza joint, restaurant or is a wheat, rye or barley farmer.  I think you get my point.  

Relax!

I need flavor also, I normally wait for a sell then buy a dozen or so of these. I have given reviews on a good amount of them, some are dead on others lack in strength. Just sweeten and add creamer and they are glorious...and yes they are gluten-free been drinking them for years.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
