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

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.
