help ! i was diagnosed with coeliac 1 1/2 years ago. What a nuisance it is, anyway i have noticed recently that when i drink filter coffee it is giving me real stomach pains and making my stomach bloat. I was told from the dietician that coeliacs cannot drink instant coffee so i went and bought a filter machine but i am now suffering, please can anyone recommend a coffee that i can drink.

Also i have been diagnosed with gum disease which apparently is also a side effect of coeliac, is anyone else encountering this problem. So not only do i have problematic bowels and osteoporosis now my teeth could fall out and i am only 44 ! arent i going to look gorgeous

When you say filter coffee, are you using a metal mesh filter or paper filters? What type of coffee are you brewing?

I know that many flavored coffees could be a problem, so if you are drinking something that is flavored that may be the culprit.

Could it be the caffeine? Do you notice this effect with other caffeinated drinks?

I for one cannot tolerate regular coffee anymore. It wrecks my stomach, too, and I notice similar feelings with other heavily caffeinated beverages. Even more than a cup of decaf or so gives me a lot of issues. I can have black teas once and a while, because the caffeine content is less than a cup of coffee, and I can have decaf black teas more regularly. (Caffeinated) Soda makes me want to vomit, which is unfortunate as I'm rather fond of Dr. Pepper.

I don't see why celiacs couldn't have instant coffee, unless a particular brand was not gluten free. That said, caffeine tends to be very rough on the body and digestive system, and my doctor always says that if I'm (or anyone) is sick with stomach viruses or nausea, caffeine will make the pain worse.

My personal (non professional) opinion is that celiacs already have crappy digestive systems that can't handle much abuse, even after we take steps to correct the problem, and since caffeine is already known to be something of an irritant, we may just notice it more. It could be the CAFFEINE that is hurting you, and not necessarily the coffee. Have you tried a decaf blend?

Your dietician is wrong. If you liked your instant coffee, check to make sure it is 100% coffee, and enjoy.

It is also true that some people find they can't tolerate caffeine. I drink decaf for my health, and I do not miss caffeine in any way. Coffee has never bothered me, but for a while, I couldn't drink tea, now I can again.

Also i have been diagnosed with gum disease which apparently is also a side effect of coeliac, is anyone else encountering this problem. So not only do i have problematic bowels and osteoporosis now my teeth could fall out and i am only 44 ! arent i going to look gorgeous

I have problems with my teeth, neuropathy, arthritis, raynauds, and sleep apnea, and YES, you will look gorgeous...just be strong and keep working at healing.

I too am having a problem with coffee and I'm planning to completely give it up this week. I'm OK with caffeine in tea so I guess it's not that. How do like that? I have a gourmet coffee bar in my flower shop and I can't have coffee! By the way I seem to remember that on another thread, someone mentioned they were having a reaction to the coffee filters, one of their problems was DH. I never read what it was in the filter that bothered them.

The problem could really be the "filter" coffee - if you adore coffee you could try turkish coffee thats the way my mum called it: that means you take a normal can make wather boil in it than you take it off the stove. You put in 3 big spoons of coffee and you press it in the wather. that you make it boil again very slowly 2 or three times - that is the best coffee ever and it is not as harmin for your heart!

Your best solution for this coffee thing from my experience with many kinds of coffee and the symptoms that I encountered...is to buy green un-roasted coffee beans, roast them yourself and grind and brew your own coffee. Green coffee beans last months to years in a sealed container. Roasting takes a super hot frying pay ready to go, green coffee beans and stirring fork, you only need to grind a cup a day or a larger batch in the oven and seal it for the week or next two weeks (length of time it'll still taste like fresh coffee if sealed properly). Get a little grinder, enough for one cup. I have a French press, it's a simple glass cup with a mesh metal screen that is dishwasher friendly, I let the hot water I cook up on the stove top soak into the grounds, press the press and vuwala fresh home made coffee.

heres the web site I've found that has many green coffee beans from all sorts of countries available: Open Original Shared Link

I personally can no longer drink coffee period, not because of the caffeine, but because of the acid and oils in the coffee make tummy angry. I know it's not the caffeine because I can have as much tea as I like. Try decaf, if that still bothers you, try regular tea. If that doesn't bother you, you have your answer.

When I was first dx'd I could not drink coffee, even decaf. I've been gluten-free for about 6 months and have started drinking decaf again. I use Lactaid milk with it and so far so good. For me, I think things just needed to settle down a bit.

I've kind of concluded that I also have trouble with coffee. I buy freshly roasted beans from a place in Seattle, I grind it myself and have a cappuccino machine. I never have more than one small cappuccino daily, but I think I read that coffee can have a laxative effect and I certainly see that with myself when I drink it. I've cut out my coffee for the last 10 days and I definitely see a positive difference. I can't say I'm happy about this, because I LOVE my cappuccino. I'll probably just have it on an occasional basis rather than daily.

Many of the small growers here in Kona use hot air poppers for roasting coffee. Used to be $19. at Kmart.

Worked quicker than a frying pan.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
