hi all- I just purchased some Celestial seasonings Lemon Zinger this week because Ii have a horrible cold. I drank it Monday and Tuesday and had some minor symptoms- night sweats, insomnia, a little nausea, but today I definitely feel like I have been glutened.

I just emailed them to see if their gluten-free teas (Lemon Zinger is gluten-free and marked on the label) are processed on the same equipment as their teas that do contain gluten (VERY FEW of them contain barley and barley malt, but some do). I haven't heard back but I want to see if anyone here has had a reaction to their gluten-free teas. Thanks, Beverly

I drink their tea often and do not get sick. But I also can eat the nut thin crackers and I know they bother you Berneses. Could it possibly be part of your cold? I am sorry you are not feeling well.

Thanks everyone. Hez- I thought it might be part of my cold when it was just fatigue and night sweats but today I got the GI symptoms and the moodswings. I'm so bummed. Ironically, I felt really sick this summer and I was drinking it by the caseloads cuz I love it somuch. I haven't had it since the summer (I like cold beverages!) but when I got a cold it seemed so appealing. Darn!

Berneses: Are you allergic to ragweed or other "growing" things? If so, you might be having an allergic reaction to the tea. Keep in mind I am not celiac, my husband is, but I can't drink any herb tea due to my allergies. I get an immediate tummy ache and sometimes D when I drink herb teas.

Hello! I am super sensitive to the WORLD (haha, aren't we all), and I drink Celestial Seasonings like it's my religion - among my favourites, lemon zinger. I have never had a problem... Maybe you're just feeling dingy from your cold?

Either way, feel better. :)

So bummed... just talked to Celestial Seasonings on the phone and their lines aren't dedicated so the teas with barley malt are produced on the same lines as the gluten free teas. Of course, like most places, they have an extensive cleaning process between batches but, well, I guess I hit it luck again! GRRRRRRRR :angry:

At least it was a fairly minor reaction. I haate to think of what would happen if I ever really ate gluten again.

I have been drinking Stash Teas. I really like them and all of their teas are gluten-free. :) I've noticed some regular grocery stores are now caring Stash Teas.

Thank you- that's great to know. Maybe I can have my tea and drink it too :D:D

And oh my gosh- their flavors look delicious!

I LOVE stash teas! I drank them even before I was gluten-free. Target carries them during the holidays as well.

I have also had a bad reaction to those teas. I posted before about it. I will link it here.

I called the company and I posted my findings here...

Perhaps we need to make our teas from fresh herbs like mint and etc... It only takes a minut and frankly it tastes better.

This is a little off topic but something I'd like to pass on to all of us here...

The last few days I've been calling around to drug companies to find gluten dairy soy corn free drugs. I was shocked when ROCHE told me they can NOT guarantee there drug with dies in them are not cross contaminated with gluten. She told me the companies they buy the dies from run the same lines that have gluten on them. So it really makes me wonder about quality control of things as simple as the teas in question. And yes they are to clean between products but we no longer live in the 'OLD AMERICA' before 2000 when life was different and the truth was told and people did their jobs with pride.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
