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:

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.

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
