I finally found a warm drink for winter as I don't drink tea or coffee and hot cocoa is too sweet for me I found Teechino, a coffee and caffeine free hot drink. I was totally excited because it's all natural too! Now I am feelng sad because I think I read somewhere that Barley has gluten in it and this is the grain in this drink. Please tell me I am wrong! :(

Unfortunately, you're not wrong :( I'm sorry! Barley does have gluten in it. Rye does as well. You need to watch for barley in your ingredients, as well as malt, which is derived from barley.

I am sooooooo sad :( I really like drinking something warm during the winter and I thought I found something! Thank you for your quick response. :)

I bet if you start a topic under the Baking and Recipes section, asking for hot drink recipes, you might get some good responses. It's worth a try to keep looking! Do you like hot cider?

I will do that, thank you!

No, I don't really care for hot cider. I have to be in the mood and super cold LOL

Teeccino claims to have no detectible gluten in it, given the processing:

Open Original Shared Link

You might search and see if anyone has reported symptoms from having this product.

Do you dislike herbal teas? There are lots of different flavors. Just make sure that what you select doesn't contain gluten (it is those pesky "flavors" that do you in). Here is a list of gluten-free beverages:

You may be my new best friend! LOL I will go question others about this. I'm trying to go 100% Gluten free because I was still having mild issues so I wonder if I try it myself.........but sometimes my symptoms are horrible so I get scared trying things out if somebody else doesn't know. KWIM?

Do you have the hidden gluten ingredient list? It's on the site index of this site. It's a great help and may help you ease into the diet ingredient wise.

I have a couple of books with the ingredients that I just found but I will do check this one out too as it may be more updated than what I have but thank you!

I like steamed almond milk and steamed hazelnut milk--they actually contain no dairy, they are made from the almonds and hazelnuts, and they are SO yummy! I don't have a problem with dairy, and can drink regular milk, but I like these better!

Almond milk is available at most grocery stores in the health food section, with the shelf-stable soy and rice milks. I have found hazelnut milk at Whole Foods and Trader Joe's (MUCH better prices at Trader Joe's).

Forgot to mention in the last post: since you are new, you missed last month's discussion of Rice Dream Rice Milk--it is NOT gluten-free (processed with barley enzymes), but they are squeaking through a loophole that allows them to label it as such because the amount of barley is under 200ppm.

Some people here have reacted to it. :(

You say you don't like tea, but have you tried something like a chai latte made with an herbal tea (such as Rooibos)? It's caffeine free, and quite tasty...and not as sweet as hot chocolate. Tetley makes a tetra pack of Rooibos Chai that you add milk (or milk substitute) to and heat up.

Always need friends. Particularly ones with whom I can discuss brain fog, neuro disorders, and the state of my gas and poo production :lol: I don't know what I would do without this list.

Let us know what you find out about Teeccino!

I looked it up and there some said they didn't have an issue while others said they'd not try it out. Now, I am finding (so far) that I am not that sensitive so I may try it out. BTW-they said the process in which it's made somehow processes the gluten out?

I'm confused...maybe I'm missing something. You're trying to be 100% gluten free, right? How do you know if you're "not that sensitive" if you haven't been 100% gluten free? Why do you want to try a barley drink? AFAIK, there is no process that will remove the gluten.

The link actually has a copy of the test result showing no detectible gluten. The allergy lab says that the gluten doesn't come out of barley using boiling water; alcohol would be needed (which they don't do during processing). So I don't know if it is any more dangerous than any product that doesn't contain gluteny ingredients, but hasn't been tested. The latter could always have cross-contamination one doesn't know about. Those warnings about facilities and shared equipment are voluntary. Actually, thinking about it, tested products might be safer.

I would think that we would hear if someone reacted negatively. Or are we all too scared to try it because it mentions barley on the label B)

you can make your own hot chocolate from cocoa powder and milk/milk-sub/water and however much sweetener you want. then, it's not too sweet. :)

I'm sorry, I am really new and ignorant to this. :) I am learning and some of it is trial by error. BTW, what does "AFAIK" mean?

You reminded me that I did that last year for the kids! I have become dairy sensitive since then so it's a negative for me. I keep hearing about Vance's Dairyfree powdered milk substitute but I have been unable to find any as of yet. That could work

AFAIK=As Far As I Know

I think Vance's Darifree is only available by mail order. I've never tried it, but have heard nothing but good things about it.

I've also read that many dairy-allergic people do well on goat's milk.

Even those of us who are not new to this are still learning! :)

I would not try this until I had been symptom free for at least a couple of weeks. We don't know how sensitive we are until the antibody reaction has left our systems and that won't happen until you have been gluten free for a while. This item should be challenged just like any other suspect item.

Personally I would rather have my gluten free items be naturally gluten free rather than processed to be below a level that someone says won't be a problem.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
