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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
