Mcdonald's Sweet Tea

This may seem like a really strange question, but I have been keeping up with my normal everyday gluten free menu, but lately I have added McDonald's Sweet Tea, and now I seem to rushing to bathroom every couple of hours. Does this seem strange? Or am I maybe getting glutened by something else.

I never even thought to check the ingredients in teas at restuarants.

The tea they use is

Iced Tea:

Orange pekoe and pekoe cut black tea.

Do you think there is maybe some hidden gluten there?

The tea sounds pretty standard. It could be that the blend is wrong for your digestive tract. Luzianne brand tea has me sitting on the throne for an hour at a time with intestinal cramps and spasms.

I was also wondering if perhaps it's just not the brand/type of tea that might be causing the issue. Green tea, which is supposed to be so good for you, really makes my stomach churn.

What did they tell you??

I'd be wondering if they use the sugar for anything else -- is it cross contaminated by dipping a floury measuring cup in it...

That's a good point. My sister uses a scoop for flour, then uses the same one for sugar when she bakes.

It could be a caffeine issue, too. Caffeine is well-known for causing the runs!

Caffeine is a well known stimulant.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      Do you think a multi vitamin would be helpful! Also do symptoms got differently for everyone in regards to running to bathroom? I noticed regular oatmeal sometimes after eating or 1-2 hrs later I gotta go but on gluten-free no urgency. Sometimes I would eat 2 slices whole wheat and no issues for a few days so hard to pinpoint when it hits

      I have Hydrocephalus born two months early ,SIADH(Hyponatremia),Raynaud’s Syndrome ,Hypertension. Fibromyalgia ,anemia or low Iron and low on some other vitamins. I have digestive issues that go back and forth between constipation or diarrhea. I feel uncomfortable after heavy or some breakfast foods or meals.Can this be related to anything with Celiac disease or any other related conditions on this group? I would appreciate any advice and information thank you. Jessika Swallow
