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

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

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..

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..

Oh good lord, please forgive the typos...

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!!!!

With that out of the way--hehe 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!
