I Hope This Does Not Come Off As A Dumb Question..

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!

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After...

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      On the AIP diet, all processed foods are eliminated. This includes gluten-free bread. You'll be eating meats and vegetables, mostly. Meats that are processed, like sausages, sandwich meats, bacons, chicken nuggets, etc., are eliminated as well. Veggies should be fresh, or frozen without other ingredients like sauces or seasonings. Nightshade vegetables...

      Thank you for responding and for prayers. So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine. You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison. I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of. Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including...

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      When I accidentally consume gluten it compromises the well-being of my heart and arteries. Last time I had a significant exposure, about six months ago, I had AFib for about ten days. It came on every day around dinner time. After the ten days or so it went away and hasn't come back. My cardiologist offered me a collection of pharmaceuticals at the time...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After having my last baby this year, my body has finally started to find its new rhythm and balance...but things started to feel out of sorts. A lot of symptoms were convoluted with postpartum symptoms, and, to top it all off, my cycle came back about 4m postpartum. I was having reoccurring migraines, nausea, joint pain, numbness in my right arm, hand and fingers, tummy problems, hives. I finally went to my PCP in August just for a wellness check and I brought up my ailments. I'm so thankful for a doctor that listens and is thorough. He ended up running a food allergy panel, an environmental respiratory panel, and a celiac panel. I found out I was allergic to wheat, allergic to about every plant and dust mites, and I did have celiac. I had an endoscopy done on October 3 and my results confirmed celiac in the early stages! I am truly blessed to have an answer to my issues. When I eat gluten, my brain feels like it's on fire and like someone is squeezing it. I can't think straight and I zone out easily. My eyes can't focus. I get a super bad migraine and nausea. I get so tired and irritable and anxious. My body hurts sometimes and my gut gets bloated, gassy, constipated, and ends with bowel movements. All this time I thought I was just having mom brain or feeling the effects of postpartum, sleep deprivation, and the like (which I probably was having and the celiac disease just ramped it up!) I have yet to see a dietician but I've already been eating and shopping gluten-free. My husband and I have been working on turning our kitchen 100% gluten-free (we didn't think this would be so expensive but he assured me that my health is worth all the money in the world). There are still a few things to replace and clean. I'm already getting tired of reading labels. I even replaced some of my personal hygiene care for myself and the kids because they were either made with oats or not labeled gluten-free. I have already started feeling better but have made some mistakes along the way or have gotten contamination thrown into the mix. It's been hard! Today I joked that I got diagnosed at the worst time of the year with all the holidays coming up. I will just need to bring my own food to have and to share. It will be okay but different after years of eating "normally". Today I ordered in person at Chipotle and was trying not to feel self-conscious as the line got long because they were following food-allergy protocols. It's all worth it to be the healthiest version of myself for me and my family. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed and a little overloaded!  I am thankful for this community and I look forward to learning more from you all. I need the help, that's for sure!

      Thank you for responding and for prayers.  So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine.  You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.  I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of.  Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including ridges on fingernails, eczema, hair falling out in patches, dry eyes, upset stomach constantly and other weird symptoms that I don't really remember.  Gastro did tests and endoscopy and verified celiac disease. Re heart: I was born with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and an irregular heartbeat, yet heart was extremely strong.  It was difficult to pick up the irregular heartbeat on the EKG per cardiologist.  I had Covid at 77, recovered in 10 days and 2 weeks later developed long Covid. What the doctors and nurses called the "kickoff to long Covid, was A-fib.  I didn't know what was going on with my heart and had ignored early symptoms as some kind of passing aftereffect stemming from Covid.  I was right about where it came from, but wrong on it being "passing".  I have A-fib as my permanent reminder of Covid and take Flecainide every morning and night and will for the rest of my life to stabilize my heartbeat.
