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:

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
