can contain gluten. I received a box of Ashbys' teas of London for a gift. Most are flavored. How can you tell if any have gluten in them. I know flavored coffees can.

"barley malt" is a dead giveaway. I had to toss a bunch of my "flavored" tea.

I would look for a phone number or website on the box and get ahold of the company directly and ask. It is not unusual for flavored teas to have gluten, I looked through a whole bunch of Celestial Seasonings special Xmas teas today before I found one that was safe.

Thanks for the help, I found a number and called them. They said all their flavored teas are gluten free. And they have some excellent teas. Still a newbie when it comes to this disease.

Was diagnosed two months ago. Was done with an upper GI and the blood tests.

I noticed Celestial Seasonings will label whether the tea is gluten free or not. Which is a big help.

They do and its GREAT! I was recently Glutened at Starbucks-- Tazo tea, some have gluten. Their Ginger Green tea and a few others as well. If anything reads "natural flavoring" its very possible barley is used (wheat would have to be properly labled).

I drink at least 2 cups of tea a day. Celestial Seasonings will say gluten free, and Stash Tea is 100% gluten free for all products. Get a few brands you know and I would only drink them.

Good Luck!

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      By ShadowLoom · Posted

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.
