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 ?

He needs flavor and I'm worried that it's gonna say gluten free but really it's not or it's at 20 ppms gluten and he spills and I accidentally touch it then touch my food and sick again this disease makes me super paranoid

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.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
