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!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
