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

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.
