Green Teas

I drink alot of green tea, usually organic. I've noticed since going Gluten-free Casein-free that certain teas have given me either a casein like reaction (tight throat), or as today a stomach ache. Today I had Numi brand jasmine green tea and my stomach has been hurting ever since. I had had breakfast (gluten-free pancakes) 3 hours earlier so I don't think it could have been from that. What's the liklihood of tea getting cross contaminated with wheat?

thanks,

Liz

If its only green tea its fine. Some of the blends even herein Japan have mugi or barley mixed with them. Dont know numi but has soon as I saw jasmine green then it rang a bell as a blend.

I checked the Numi website and they claim their teas are all gluten-free and processed far away from any gluten. Doubt it's the packaging. I'm now thinking maybe it was from the WEstbrae organic baked beans or the gluten-free pancakes I had had in the morning and just had a delayed reaction or something. Guess i'll have to just experiment! I've only been Gluten-free Casein-free for 3 months, and i'm almost thinking I should purposefully gluten myself a little because I really don' t know what to expect or how to interpret my reactions. I know what my casein reactions are , but am very unclear about gluten since i've been so strict in avoiding it and never did have many digestive reactions.

anyway, thanks for the input!

Think I figured it out. The baked beans have "organic grain vinegar" in them...does that mean wheat? I just don't understand why I felt totally fine after eating them, and not until 3 hours later did my intestines hurt...does this mean the food was in my stomach for that long before going to the small intestine? yikes!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
