Does Caffeine exacerbate Celiac? Does coffee/caffeine bother folks with Celiac? I don't seem

to tolerate coffee well.

Thanks, Jerry

Caffene can cause problems, but it's not necessarily celiac related. My stomach (as in the stomach itself) is very sensitive and doesn't like caffene much. Also, if one has hypoglycemia, caffiene can exacerbate low blood sugar symptoms.

Alot of people in general have problems with caffeine...it is not necessarily celiac related.

Let's just put it this way, a good cup of coffee is a great solution for constipation, celiac or not (I call them coffee enemas) :)

Besides, why would you want caffeine stains on those BEAUTIFUL teeth!!!!! :D

One cup of caffeinated beverage after 8 am will keep me up until after 1 am. Other than that, it does not bother me.

Caffeine is a stimulant and can cause everything in your body including your intestines to "move faster" which can make diarrhea worse. If your symptoms are under control, you can try it and see how much you can tolerate.

When I was tested for intolerances four years ago, one of the ones that showed up was coffee. It has never been a stimulant for me, it makes me incredibly sleepy instead (and sleeping pills will keep me up all night)!

Hubby avoids caffeine of coffee and colas due to it's "flushing" properties.

Coffee tears me up also...especially if I am drinking it on an empty stomach. Now I pretty much just drink it on weekends, when I am going to be around the house and don't worry so much about the effects. I think the acid is partly to blame, my GI doc recommended against drinking much coffee, or red wine for that matter, because it can exacerbate GERD symptoms.

It's too bad though...a good cup of coffee is like the nectar of the gods...decaf isn't quite so hard on the stomach, but it just doesn't make me happy...

I love my coffee! :D However, if I drink too much it does affect my acid reflux :( But it has never caused 'D' or any other Celiac related symptoms, and I get "D" very easily with the slightest amount of gluten.

Perhaps it's the milk or sugar that's added that's causing the problems, or you may be sensitive to the coffee bean.

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
