Bummer- My Tea Isn't gluten-free!

I love the Yogi Calming tea and it's not gluten-free :angry: I didn't drink it for a few days and felt great and then I had a cup two days ago and was sooooooo sick! So much for a "healthy" tea- they put barley malt in it! After reading the website I won't try any of the other teas either. Any suggestions? I Know about Celestial Seasonings, any other good ones? I love chamomille and green tea.

Thanks!

Amy

bklynceliac- the yogi tea website says they can't guarantee that cross contamination doesn't occur. apparently they process other foods and teas all on the same machinary/same factory in addition to adding barley malt to some of the other flavors/herbal combinations.

I am lucky enough to have this little "mom & pop" natural foods store near me...they have dried herbs to use in cooking or to make into teas that are grown organic and locally. I just buy the herbs loose and put them in a large teaball and have soothing herbal teas all the time, I especially like catnip, red clover and lavender herbal tea.

Maybe you could see if such a place exists in your area. I am sorry but at this time I can't recommend any places on the web to order quality bulk herbs. I did order some from a place I have ordered some jewelry from before....I will let you know what I think of the bulk tea I bought, it should come within the next 10 days...I ordered catnip, jasmine and calendula, and was able to order then in small amounts, ounces as opposed to lbs. and they were quite reasonable on the their prices and shipping.

Celestial Seasonings teas will say either "gluten free" or "may contain gluten" om the bottom of the box (not the side ingredient panel).

It helps!

Some of the Lipton flavored tea bags have barley malt in them as well. I was all set to have a relaxing mug of peach tea a few months back and looked at the box, thinking, "It's tea, it's got to be safe" and there it was, barley malt. BAD LIPTON!

I can confirm Tree's claim. I'm looking at two boxes of Celestial Seasonings teas. Teahouse Chai (Original India Spice), and Rooibos (Moroccan Pomegranate Red). Both say gluten-free right on the bottom, ingredients are on the side.

Also have a Bigelow Mint Medley. Doesn't say gluten-free, but has nothing remotely troublesome.

best regards, lm

      New diagnosis

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hello, and welcome to the forum. Getting use to gluten-free eating is a struggle, but it is worth it. Your daughter should begin to feel much better and the fatigue will fade but it can take some time. I am sure you will get lots of suggestions from forum members - we have a few from the UK. I am a bit pushed for time just now but will come back later. Russ

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By BelleDeJour · Posted

      Thank you so much @suek54 How are you doing today? I spoke too soon yesterday. Something (I can only think gluten-free sweets or a can of soft drink) set me off yesterday. Had a bath, applied some cream, still itching so applied some steroid and was awake until 3am. It's so frustrating. Always 2 steps forward, 1 step back. I am at work now and going to play it very much on the very safe side with food for the next few days.  My derm appointment is less than a week away. I will update on here because I do feel it important to help others.

      Skin issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m sorry you’re going through all of this. It sounds very stressful, especially when you feel that your symptoms are not being taken seriously. Until you are seen next week, it may help to keep the focus very practical: take clear photos of the skin sores, write down a timeline of symptoms, list all medicines, eye drops, supplements, implants/leak history, and any test results, and bring that to the dermatologist. If there is drainage, spreading redness, fever, worsening pain, eye involvement, or signs of infection, that needs prompt medical care. I would be cautious about assuming parasites or staph without testing, and also cautious with new supplements or putting vitamin C directly on sores, since irritated skin can get worse. A dermatologist can culture lesions, biopsy if needed, and refer to infectious disease if the findings point that way. On the celiac side, I understand your concern for your son, but being HLA-DQ2 positive does not by itself mean he has celiac disease; it means he has a genetic risk. If he is eating gluten now, this is actually the best time for proper celiac blood testing before he tries a gluten-free diet. His symptoms, weight, congestion, and family history are worth discussing with a gastroenterologist, but he should not be told he has celiac based only on HLA status. For your own care, try to keep pushing for objective testing and clear documentation in your records, because that is often what gets doctors to take the next step.
