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:

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana
