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.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat.

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go! I'm certain you'll feel much better. Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free. The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients.

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get cal...

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go!  I'm certain you'll feel much better.   Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free.  The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities and food preferences can limit choices.  I can't consume fish and shellfish due to the sulfa hypersensitivity and iodine content, and dairy is out as well.  I react to casein, the protein in dairy, as well as the iodine in dairy.  My Dermatitis Herpetiformis is aggravated by iodine.   Blood tests for B vitamin levels are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change to show a deficiency.  I had subclinical vitamin deficiencies for years which affected my health, leading to a slow downward spiral.  Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are easily excreted in urine if not needed.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   Wheat and other gluten containing grain products have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace those nutrients lost in processing.  Manufacturers add cheap vitamins that our bodies don't absorb or utilize well.  Even normal people can suffer from vitamin deficiencies.  The rise in obesity can be caused by High Calorie Malnutrition, where people eat more carbohydrate calories but don't get sufficient thiamine and B vitamins to turn the calories into energy.  The calories are stored as fat in an effort to ration out diminishing thiamine  stores.    It's time to buy your own vitamins in forms like Benfotiamine that our bodies can use well.   Not sleeping well and fatigue are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.   I'm certain Benfotiamine with a B Complex will help you immensely.  Just don't take them at night since B vitamins provide lots of energy, you can become too energetic to sleep.  Better to take them earlier in your day.   Do keep me posted on your progress!

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!
