Coffee

Just wondering if anybody else has had a problem with coffee. (I drink it black). I've been reacting to something over the last 2 weeks and the only thing I come up with is the (organic french roast) coffee I got (and ground) at Winco. Still not absolutely sure about this since I just quit drinking it. I haven't had a problem with organic coffees elsewhere.

I would suspect the grinding machine. Who knows what else has been put through it and someone may have ground some gluten-containing flavored beans. :o

Coffee can sometimes have a laxative effect (even if it is gluten-free). Just something to keep in mind :)

I thought about that and that may be what happened, but I also did some checking and found the following information I'd like to share. Some companies dust their manufacturing lines with flour to keep the beans rolling along. The gluten from the flour can soak into the oil of the beans. The only hope of knowing for sure is to contact the company, hope they don't subcontract and that they are honest.

Guess I won't be buying coffee from the warehouse-type stores anymore! Never had a problem until this month, and I've been gluten-free for nearly 2 years -drinking coffee for 38 years.

Wow, I haven't heard that before but it worries me because I LOVE coffee...

Do you know which companies use flour?

I just bought a can of Columbian Decaf at Walmart, and it states gluten free on the can! I use Folgers, 8 O'Clock, Maxwell House, Mr Coffee, Duncan Donuts, and I buy 7-11 Decaf all the time...never been glutened by regular coffee. Be aware...many flavored coffees do contain gluten, as do many flavored teas.

I too, have been drinking coffee for well over 40 yrs, and it has never been a problem for me.

I would really appreciate it if you could tell me where you found the information about flour on the manufacturing lines. Do you remember where you found the information?

Thanks!

I don't know what companies use flour. I also can't remember the brand of coffee I bought at Winco (Vancouver, WA), only that it was bulk coffee & organic. Oh yeah, and there's still the possibility that since I ground it there, it was cross contaminated with one of the other coffees. Anyway, next time I go I will try to find out - and then maybe if a bunch of folks request that if they intend to keep on using flour, that they list the coffee as possibly containing gluten!

Needless to say, I try to be very careful what I consume, and read labels Very Carefully. And I will never again buy bulk coffee, unless it's at a gluten-free store. Same goes for store grinding. I'm digging out my dusty old coffee grinder.

Anyway, you are now forewarned <_<

I googled "gluten in coffee beans", and found that piece of info at WikiAnswers - Is Green Mountain Coffee Roasters gluten free. So while it is not an "official" answer, it is probably true. I intend to do some checking, and ask at a gluten free store, too.

That coffee is the only thing in my life that changed, and I began drinking it about the same time my symptoms started & my symptoms got worse each day while drinking it. (I don't drink that much & only first thing in the morning).

It's only been two days since I totally cleaned out my coffee maker and switched coffee, so I'm symptom free yet, but feeling a little better.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed...

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
