Dear Dahlia,

I think we all feel this way! :lol: It is everywhere! You have to be scared of everything! It is not fair we have to freak out about foods and make-up while the rest of the world gets to shove whatever into their mouths and not worry about reading labels on hair spray or toothpaste. Gluten truly does seem to be stalking us, because it is all over the place, and you cannot get away from it.

Sincerely,

Dear sickchick,

Actually, gluten can be found in some coffees. Luckily, Folgers is safe. I love Folgers! All of their coffees, including those delicious Capuccinos are safe! They are not dairy-free, though. I use the instant classic roast.

I love my coffee, too. Going without it is hard. I tried to switch to green tea, but am too accustomed to the taste of coffee. It is one of those things that you make a habit, and the next thing you know, it is the only thing you enjoy. That cup of coffee is the only thing you can be happy somedays, so thank goodness for it!

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

OH NO!!!! :huh::lol:

I have Starbucks I better go check their website lol!

I know how you mean with the Green Tea. I love it iced with lemon!

But I just don't get that coffee-induced satisfaction from tea. And tea

really messes with my stomach for some reason. I get really nauseus

when I drink like Lipton. I wonder what's in it!

Dear sickchick,

Many of Starbucks' beverages are safe. I know the Frapps are alright. You have to watch the ones with chips, though. I go to Gluten-Free in SD. It is a site for people in San Diego, but I have found it helpful for me, despite living in Indiana. I enjoy coffee, and have since I was young.

When you are used to it, nothing satisfies you the way it does. Tea is something you might need to watch for gluten as well. Honestly, it is moldy as well. That is why I am supposed to avoid it. Since I have Candida, that aggravates the situation. If you are like me where you have been on antibiotics, steroids, and hormones, you have a good reason to suspect the yeast.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      Refractory celiac disease

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
