Tazo Organic Iced Greentea

My hubby just brought me this and I want it bad, now!

The ingredients label says natural flavors, so I called the site and they assured me it contains no allergens. Allergens? What about gluten, I'm worried there maybe barley.

I hope someone knows for sure, I am not going to trust the person I spoke with. I am already sick and don't want to chance getting sicker. :P

Thanks.

I just called them (I drink Awake Tea, so I had a box here with their phone number)

I was told that the Organic Iced Greentea was gluten-free, as are all the bagged leaf teas.

Enjoy! :D

Thanks jersey!

When I called my answer was too vague to trust. Especially since I've already been sick from the Mono, I didn't want to take even the slightest chance.

Thanks, I am feeling much "brighter" if you know what I mean. I went to see my niece and nephew in their costumes on Halloween (but I did not attempt to go trick or treating with them.) Yesterday I rested all day and today will be my first attempt at shopping in a month. My mom and sister are picking me up and we will have a light lunch and try to visit a few stores at the outlet mall. They already said we could leave as soon as I get tired. I am hoping for about 5-6 stores, but I am just happy to get to go somewhere!

I'll report on my Mono thread when we get back.

jerseyangel, ..I've had their Wild Orange & Earl Grey since celiac so far so good ..but on their website it says (and ofcourse I just rechecked 1min ago)

All of our teas are gluten free, except for the following: Green Ginger, Tazo Honeybush and Lemon Ginger & Tea Lemonade

The first two are bagged teas, last two bottled.

So the customer service rep is right about the Organic Ice Tea. But either the rep is wrong or the website is, about the 2 filterbags... I plan on avoiding those.

Open Original Shared Link [click "what is Tazo" click "Faqs" ]

(took me an hour to find it the first time <_<

Snow Angel,

Thank you for posting this. It's so important to keep the info here accurate.

I just called Tazo again. The lady I spoke to apologized that the previous person had stated that "all bagged teas were gluten-free". The four teas that you listed all contain "natural flavors"--which in the case of Tazo means that this is a proprietary blend of ingredients that "may or may not" contain gluten. They won't divulge the formula, so we must assume it is not safe for us.

She told me that her instructions for customers inquiring about gluten (she read this to me) were to "steer consumers away from any teas with natural flavors".

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating.

I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
