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.

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic.

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
