Is Tazo China Green Tips Tea gluten-free? I just had some and I'm not feeling very well, but I don't know if that's the reason.

What about Celestial Seasonings Green Tea?

Thanks.

I called Tazo teas a little while ago to ask about their status. They said that there were only 5 of their teas that did not contain natural seasonings and thus could guarantee were gluten-free. I don't honestly remember if that was one or not. I remember Awake and Refresh. I called though at a random time and got through to someone knowledgeable pretty easily. I would call and double check on that one.

I'm not sure about the Celestial Seasoning tea specifically. There are a couple of theirs that are not, Cinnamon spice and something with blueberry.

Thanks. I was drinking Refresh and I have hives, which went away when I stopped -- I was very confused by this and thought it might be the tarragon, although I have no history of being allergic to tarragon; I couldn't figure out what was causing the hives. If Refresh contains gluten, perhaps you cleared up the mystery. Do you know of anyone else who gets hives when they ingest small amounts of gluten? I'm hesitant to use Beano for this reason. Do you happen to know if it's a large amount of gluten in Refresh? It never occurred to me that there could be gluten in tea.

According to the SUCKY flash-induced website for Open Original Shared Link all their teas are gluten free EXCEPT Green Ginger, Honeybush, Lemon Ginger and Tea Lemonade.

LOL@your signature quote.

Given that there's gluten in the ginger green, I wonder if their China Green Tips is entirely trustworthy. I can't figure out why they would add gluten in the first place. What purpose does it serve?

(I know what you mean about the website. I have to download flash to see your website? And disable my pop-up blocker? Please.)

I just got sick from it too, I actually found this posting by searching 'is green tips gluten free' on google. I bet they put barley in it for flavor. I have seen this with teas at the health food store and also coffees. I think it gives it that roasted/toasty flavor.

bigelo green tee is safe, as is celestial seasonings green tea. lipton green tea is ok, just smells like spinach though. the fewer ingredients the better.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
