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.

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.

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
