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

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      @Scott Adams Strange question but can you actually feel your hernia? I have so many abdominal lumps and bumps of longstanding (my GP said it's fat!) that I sometimes wonder if an inguinal hernia could be missed. I am quite sure some of my pain is from my umbilical hernia but that first came about courtesy of my second pregnancy.

The amount of gluten she did/didn't eat would not matter for that part, whether or not she actually has celiac disease. If instead she had had normal levels of IGA in her blood, then the question of how much gluten she was eating would become relevant.

      For the Inguinal hernia I could definitely feel it, and it came with an obvious bulge that appeared soon after doing a project where I was drilling holes on concrete using a very old school regular hand drill with mason bit, instead of a hammer drill with mason bit--this left me squatting over the drill putting my weight on it for several hours (the hammer drill would not have required this level of stress, nor the time it took). Bad idea--learn from my mistake in being "lazy" and not renting (or buying) the proper tool for the job. My umbilical hernia was around for many years, and I didn't feel that one at all, so never worried about it. My doctor basically recommended doing both in one surgery, which seemed like wise move.  As far as the possible IBS connection to either, it was definitely apparent after getting the Inguinal hernia, which is why I asked my doctor about that, but after getting both fixed I realize that the umbilical hernia likely also had mild IBS effects over the years.
