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.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
