Is foldgers coffee gluten free? See, dumb question huh? :rolleyes:

I have recently just decided too take my gluten intolerance seriously, so everything in myhouse now is GLUTEN FREE.. forgot the darn spices though.. Need too get those in my home. I am having alot of health issues, and U truely belive it is all food related....I do not tend too have tummy issues all that much.. However I am dealing with mouth sores, dizzyness/lightheadedness ( I am guessing this issue is caused by GLTUEN ) Can gluten cause brain issues, as in vision issues, chronic dizzyness/lightheadedness.. panic/anxiety attacks, motion sickness.. the list is endless..?

Anyway I was told i was gluten intoleran 8 month ago..I figured I do not have the TUMMY ISSUES, so they test must be wrong..t, and totally blew it off, My issues seem too stem from the nervous system or like brain wise..Does this make sense? However after 8 months of barely living.. I decided too take this a bit more seriously..So I went shopping..everything I have in my home now is gluten free..but I love my coffee.. Oh how I love my coffee.. I drink Decaf foldgers coffee, and need too know if coffee has gltuen in it.. :D

Missy

P.S... If my issues are related too gluten, I know Cottage cheese causes my mouth too burn and I get these little red blood blisters on the inside of my cheeks...Ok got off track there.. I fm yissues are gluten related.. How long after starting gluten free life can I expect too see improvements

Thanks for any thoughts or advice you can give..

Coffee in itself is gluten free, it's just coffee. Flavored coffee may be another issue. What is it that you are putting in the coffee. Perhaps you have a lactose problem.

After a moderator pins your post, it will be at the top of the daily page and it will work it's way down the page as new posts come in. It's always good to remember the category that you posted in. You can alway go to your personal profile page and click on your thread or your post.

Welcome.

About the typos...you can edit your post for a while. It is supposed to be 36 hours, but seems to be more like 2. But for at least that long, there will be an "Edit" button at the bottom right of your post. Click on it and you can edit your post to correct typos and make other revisions.

And, as Lisa (Momma Goose) said, plain coffee is gluten-free, but added flavor or anything else added is a *possible* source of gluten. You could be reacting to something other than gluten.

Yes celiac can cause the neuro issues you describe and many more. They can also be present for many years before any GI symptoms rear their head. When we are effected neurologically we are usually very sensitive to Cc and also may react more to alcohol and vinagers derived from gluten grains. You need to check everything you come into contact with or use on your skin as well as your food sources for gluten. For the brain and nerves to fully recover you need to be very strict with the diet. It would also be a good idea to drop dairy from your diet for a bit, it will speed healing and you can challenge dairy after you have been gluten-free and are feeling well.

I was told once--there are no dumb questions, only stupid answers!!!! :P

With that out of the way--hehe :lol: How long have you been gluten free? You have to give your body time to heal too. It does sound like you should give up dairy for a time. Folgers Decaf is gluten free, I drink it myself!!! No one can take my coffee away!!!! ;) Many of us have neurological symptoms when we get glutened. Before going gluten free, I had both--more stomach issues though, now when I get glutened, the neuro issues are stronger.

Good luck, I hope you feel better soon!

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
