Hi All,

Is Twinings tea gluten-free? I can't find a reference on here. The English Breakfast and Earl Grey are on my mind.

Thanks!

English Breakfast - Ceylon, Kenyan and Indian teas, no other ingred.

Earl Grey - Tea, Bergamont flavouring. (??Bergamont), no other ingred.

I don't know what the flavoring is.

Just looked it up...

Bergamont flavoring is derived from Mediterranean Oranges.

So they both should be gluten free.

I drink Twinings and Stash Teas with no problems. I checked both the websites and Stash has on their site that they are gluten free. I can't find anything about it on Twinings site. Hope that helps.

Twinings says on their FAQ's that all of their teas are gluten-free.

I didn't know there are any teas that aren't gluten free! :unsure: Are there a lot of them or are there brands to look out for that aren't safe?

The companies (Twinings) reply is inaccurate as some of their teas contain barley malt!

This thread it from 10 years ago. Companies can change ingredients and this is why is is so important to always read labels and get the most recent information available. Thanks for the heads up on the changes.

I have been  round about with teas for years before settling on Republic of Tea. The company has gluten free certified teas, and I drink 3-6 cups a day of their teas.

      Enegy level extremely low

      @EricaFilpi, please tell us more about your recovery...did you need to take iron infusions or supplements? What other supplements are you taking? I'll assume you've been gluten-free since August.

      So true, @trents, I was a skeptic myself!

      Although I disagree with interjecting the element of dermatitis herpetiformis since this is not a real issue for the OP, I think Rogo72 gives good advice about how to navigate social situations as a celiac when finding yourself in unsympathetic company. It requires developing somewhat of a tuff skin and holding your ground in order to be safe. The psychology of these situations is that family and friends try to make you as the celiac feel that you have a mental problem rather than a medical one. The fact is, they are the ones with the mental problem (ignorance and arrogance). It helps to avoid the brow beatdown to reframe it in that sense. But at the same time you must avoid the temptation to develop bitterness toward them which will destroy relationships. Rise above that and keep this one issue in its place so that it doesn't commandeer the whole of the relationships involved. As I mentioned above, I'm sure we can all remember times when we misjudged others because we were ignorant of the facts. One thing that sometimes happens in the celiac social experience is when some of those who were skeptical and critical of a celiac friend or family member find out they themselves have celiac disease. Boy, how that can change their attitude! And keep in mind, some studies have shown that almost 50% of the first degree relatives of those with celiac disease will themselves develop celiac disease. So, @sillyyak52, you may have the last laugh!

      Hey SicilyGirl, I feel your pain, I am 51 and was diagnosed in August with Celiac and actually had to have iron transfusions because my iron was so low. I never had energy, going to one store wiped me out, it was horrible. Then the weirdest thing happened two weeks ago, I realized I had energy when I was talking on a phone and moving heavy Christmas boxes around like they were nothing, and then I ran off to make dinner. Talk to your doctor about your concerns and give yourself some grace.
