Most teas are gluten free. Red Rose, Tetley, Nestea. As long as it says, 100% tea, it is ok. Be careful of some of the flavored teas, they may contain gluten--some even state if they are gluten free or not.

ALL the Republic of Tea teas are gluten-free. You can check under questions and answers on their website. They have a large variety of herbal, black, green etc.

You need to be very careful with teas. I only use ones that say gluten free on the label. Celestial Seasonings makes a number of gluten free teas and will label the ones that are gluten-free. Many teas especially herbal and flavored teas are not gluten-free so please make sure they are safe.

Im not a big fan of English tea (despite being English in origin)... but I do like green teas and some other types like Russian ..

Mostly I buy a good quality basic tea and then add my own stuff.... right now a fav is lemongrass and ginger green tea... I buy the basic but best quality green teas (nothing but tea) and then add my own ginger and lemon grass...

I actually just put ginger and lemon grass aside when cooking (parts not to be cooked) let em dry out and then add these to the tea...

If you want bottled tea, try Sweet Leaf tea. I like the raspberry flavor :P They are all gluten-free. Also Snapple teas are now gluten-free. I don't know why, but Snapple really bothers my stomach - like a mini reaction, but the tea should be gluten-free so I have no idea. Personally, I live on Luizianne Iced Tea with fruit juice.

At home, I only use Stash Teas--they are all gluten-free.

At Starbucks, and other places that offer it, Harney and Sons is also safe.

I have had reactions to more than one variety of Celestial Seasonings--even the ones that state gluten-free on the box.

Are we talking about loose tea or tea in bags? I love English tea and have not given up tea drinking in the few weeks I've been gluten-free. I drink non-flavored Tetley in bags. Do the bags contain gluten?

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.
