So, I had my first cup of Gevalia traditional blend coffee this morning. Just one cup. It tasted great.

I called Gevalia this morning just to check and they told me ALL of their coffees have a TRACE of gluten in them.

Wow.

Hope I don't vomit. :rolleyes:

Seriously, Jestgar, I have no idea. BUT I am PISSED. Could they run the beans on lines with wheat. How flipping stupid.

Doesn't that just make you mad!!! I am moving to the wheat free planet!!!

I hope you don't get sick, but maybe they don't know what they are talking about. I could understand flavored coffee, but not plain.

Maybe they are one of the few companies who use wheat flour to move the beans along the lines.

Don't they have the individual pod packs? If so maybe the glue they use to seal it up is wheat?

Who knows???? Erg. I'm not sick so far.

I swear I read in one of the lists lurking around that Gevalia unflavored reg and decaf are fine. Whatever. I threw it out!

I drink it daily and was told it was gluten free.

I think this is probably the case.

But doesn't it half make you wonder whether it has gluten or not, and a statement like that tends to put me right off a product alltogher.

Really? You drink it...

I did not get sick AT ALL. I'm fine today and I always have a reaction about 24 hours after I ingest a gluteny- thing.

What's really odd is - on Thursday morning I called and checked and the woman said yes, traditional and signature should be fine. I didn't drink it yet. I called on Friday just to double-check and the woman and guy I talked to read me a statement that said "All our coffees contain trace amounts of gluten."

Don't worry guys, I'm going to write to them and let you know. Because frankly, it was the best coffee I've had in a while.

I looked up gevalia in the CSA guide it is a company of Kraft, according to CSA they will list all wheat barley and oats on their lables. I really do drink it regularly. :unsure:

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?
