I have recently been experiencing bloating and gas after drinking tea. Could there be a very tiny microscopic amount of gluten in tea that causes this???

I think you would have to let us know what kind of tea you're drinking. Some tea probably does contain gluten and others do not. Did you look into this before drinking it? Also, it may not be gluten related at all. Maybe the tea just doesnt agree with you right now.

Some flavored or herbal teas do contain gluten--another thing to consider is that caffeine is very irritating to our systems as we are healing. I have found that I don't do well with tea anymore--I'll probably try it again but not for at least 6 months.

In this cold weather it is just too tempting for me not to drink something hot. So, I make my tea (green, pau d'arco, etc.) extra weak. Like 1 teabag for every 4 - 6 cups of water. This way I can at least still enjoy the flavor and keep my hands warm. I can only have 1 or two cups like this too. But for me, moderation is better than abstaning. Marcia

Some companies seal their tea bags with wheat paste. Celestial Seasonings has a gluten free disclaimer on their boxes- some of them say 'may contain gluten', but most of them say 'gluten free'.

A lot of teas have gluten (don't ask me to explain how). Try Numi teas or Traditional Medicinals (except for the St. John Wort. Numi teas are organic and very good for you.

The Tetley website claims that their hot tea is gluten free. It's what I drink.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
