Should I be concerned that tea might have gluten in it or am I pretty much OK w/ any tea?

Thanks!

MOST (but not all) celestial seasonings are fine...I know there is a list somewhere around the web (sorry I can't be more helpful). I can drink "Honest" tea just fine; their iced peppermint is awesome, and good for our tummies! Some Tazo's are okay too, but be careful. I think calling the company, or checking their web site is probably the best thing.

Celestial Seasoning will put "gluten-free" in small print on the bottom of their gluten-free teas. (This is as of a year or two ago, so really old boxes might not have it.)

Twinings and Gevalier said that all their teas are gluten free. Celestial Seasonings has several that aren't gluten-free including their Ginseng Energy, Almond, and Vanilla teas. Red Rose tea is gluten free. I guess you can tell I'm an avid tea drinker! Most tea companies use heat to seal their bags but some use glue. Those we have to avoid. So it is best to check with the company before you drink their tea. Oh yes, Luzianne Tea is also gluten free! That's great news about the gluten free statement on the Celestial Seasonings! It will make it much easier.

All Lipton ice tea I know of is gluten-free. In addition, Lipton is yet another company that will clearly list gluten in the ingredients.

Most tea is gluten-free but as some have pointed out, there are a handful with barley. Generally speaking I think that barley is clearly listed. Your standard green, black or pekoe teas will not have barley.

The old rumor about using wheat in the glue for some bags seems to be nothing more than a celiac urban legend.

All Yumi tea bags are gluten free as well. I emailed the company, and got the following reply on 1/12/10 along with a copy of the certificate of analysis (which I did not post below):

Hello, Ceilia.

Looks like our tea bags are gluten free. Our supplier had it tested for protein-wheat contents, and the result came out negative.

I have attached the test result for your review.

Warmly,

My DS14 came home from school on Friday, with a flaming face and soaring temperature. I could immediately tell that he had been glutened. I gave him the 3rd degree of what did you have for lunch. Did you eat a salad with croutons?

Took his temp which was over 103. An hour later I was cooking supper and trying to rack my pea brain with what he could have gotten into, when I noticed the stress tea that I had made him drink the day before because he was going to an audition.

Lo, and behold right there in the other ingredients: BARLEY MALT!!!

I burst into tears and threw the box across the room. Talk about feeling like the evil mother of the year.

All the while, my DD16's boyfriend was sitting in the room with a look of "whoa, crazy, fool." :P

Sick all weekend, had to change his pants several times, vomiting, anger.

But at least at his audition (which he tried to get out of since he was so sick, but I made him go to since he's been practicing for 6 months) went fantastic--superior on both piano pieces!!

Please explain why they would need to put that in TEA????

A lot of Yogi teas are gluten free (they list the 3 or 4 that aren't on the website and on the boxes it says "contains barley" under the ingredients list). I like the detox tea (it doesn't taste very good) but it helps me go number 2, lol.

Yupp--those are the words on the same brand which I screwed up my son with. :blink::P

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated. I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population? Also, I found what you said about N...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Yeast extract

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Seabeemee! The fact that the genetic testing shows you do not have either of the two genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease (HlA DQ2 and HLA DQ8) pretty much ensures that you do not have celiac disease and the biopsy of the small bowel showing "normal villous architecture" confirms this.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Seabeemee! The fact that the genetic testing shows you do not have either of the two genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease (HlA DQ2 and HLA DQ8) pretty much ensures that you do not have celiac disease and the biopsy of the small bowel showing "normal villous architecture" confirms this. But you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which would not damage the villous architecture. You could also have SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) or H. Pylori infection. Both of these conditions would thrive on carbs and you do say you feel better when you don't eat a lot of carbs. And with your resection of the small bowel, that could be causing it's own problems like you describe. When was that surgery done? You have had over 1 foot of your small bowel removed by that surgery in 2022 so that would certainly challenge digestion and nutrient absorption.  Edited
