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!

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
