Help Me With A Plan

Hello,

I've had problems with caffeine or regular coffee for quite some time and even read up on caffeine allergy. Seems I have so many of the symptoms. It makes me jittery, brain fog, feeling out of control, light sensitive, heart palpitations, etc. Before I got diagnosed with celiac I was looking into quitting caffeine because of how it made me feel. Then when I got diagnosed I thought all those symptoms could be coming from being celiac. I switched to decaf around the same time as I went gluten free about 3 months ago because I felt so bad. Every time I've had regular coffee during that time, I feel the symptoms again. But decaf coffee seems to make me feel terribly tired. At least that's what I think is causing it.

I've heard others say they switched to organic and there symptoms went away. I also found a caffeine free organic substitute called Soyfee that is carried by my local health food store.

I've gone to decaf several times before and always feel great when I first switch from regular coffee to decaf. This time is the longest I've ever stayed on decaf and I really think I feel fatigued after drinking it. I'm not sure what direction to go to. I am a coffee lover and giving it up will be really hard for me.

Should I go to the caffeine free alternative or try an organic coffee?

And are there organic decaffeinated coffees?

I really need some help on this one...

Thanks.

I think it is Folgers who makes a coffee which is for sensitive stomachs, might be worth looking into.

I've always had tummy trouble from drinking coffee (I think it is the acidity) until I started drinking cold brew coffee. It is really easy to make, tastes a lot better than regular coffee, and doesn't upset my stomach.

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By mermaidluver22 · Posted

      @Scott Adams Thank you so much for this thoughtful and encouraging reply 💛 It really helps me feel less alone navigating all of this! I’ve definitely been strict gluten-free, but I’ll admit — in the beginning, I honestly knew nothing about cross-contamination 😅 so it’s very possible my gut is still healing from that. I feel very abnormal because I am not a typical celiac or a typical Crohn's, so it makes me feel very stuck.

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if they have refractory disease or delayed healing. Keeping close follow-up with your GI and possibly revisiting your diet for hidden gluten sources could help. Hang in there—it’s a journey, and you’re doing great by staying proactive!

      I have biopsy-confirmed celiac disease and have been strictly gluten-free, but my tTG-IgA is still elevated, so I know I'm still healing. I recently had a capsule endoscopy that showed small erosions and inflammation only in the distal ileum — nothing in the upper small intestine. My GI isn’t calling it Crohn’s yet because biopsies showed only mild, non-specific inflammation with no chronic features. Has anyone experienced celiac impacting their ileum as well? the gi world is so confusing! thank u ❤️
