does any one know the story on Tazo tea, they say they are gluten free. I got real sick last night shortly after i had a cup with nothing in it but stevia sweetner. When i checked the ingrediants on line, it said natural flavorings, i was very disappointed because I never eat anything with natural flavorings. I just thought I would see if anyone had an issue with this

I don't know if they are gluten-free for sure, but I had a TAzo tea last night and had no problems. Could be the natural flavoring though...everyone reacts differently to those, it could be that you reacted to an ingredient in that, not necessarly that it was gluten. I found that I react to the lemon flavoring in cArlson's fish oil...but I don't react to other products with lemon flavoring...go figure. I really wish they had to list every chemical!!

hope you feel better,

Liz

I drink the Awake often and with no prob lems.

However, I called Tazo recently and was told that the natural flavors are propriatary and they don't always know what's in them--that's not to say that they have gluten in them.

I called them a few months ago and they said there were only 5 teas that did not have natural flavor and thus could be guaranteed to be gluten free. They were very helpful on the phone. I know that Awake and Refresh are- those are really the only ones I drink so I don't remember the other three- sorry. But I called on a weekend and got to speak to someone right away. You may want to call to see if the ones you are drinking are ok.

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

Just got off the phone with the company and Cucumber White teabags are gluten-free. I couldn't find it on their website, so I called. Just thought I'd throw that in!

I just had a reaction to the vanilla apricot white, which is new for me, and it has natural flavors. Has this happened to anyone else?

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
