i have been wheat and gluten-free since sept., 04 even though a biopsy came back negative. the results of the change in diet were remarkable and in spite of cravings and constant glutenous temptations, you couldnt pay me enough to eat something with wheat in it! recently, i have been having trouble with coffee that is imported, specifically from costa rica and from vienna. these are both coffees i have had in the last 2 years without any problems, but i have noticed, thru process of elimination, that they currently wreak havoc on my system in the same way something contaminated by wheat does. anyone have the same problem with coffees or know why that might be happening?

no - not flavored at all - medium roast mixed with decaf medium roast (which i did thinking that the offending agent might be the caffeine, but i got the same results) -

thanks for your input - could be the pesticides, i guess - its as good an explanation as i have!!!

could be- or could be a cc issue- unless the coffee has a gluten free label. could be that you are sensitive to coffee- is it just this coffee- or all coffee regardless of brand?

i am not having a problem with any of the coffees made here - just one i got on a cruise to costa rica and one that was a gift from vienna. these are clearly things i could avoid, but they are one of those little pleasures i would rather not give up!! i thank you for your help and i will try the coffee listed in the article you sent me - celiac disease

There are coffees that are processed by using wheat flour on the lines to keep things moving. The only way to verify that would be to contact the manufacturer.

Brand name coffees are generally safe, but because you said that this was imported, this could apply. I've heard of off-brands where this has happened.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley...

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
