What's With Coffee

I am having trouble with the regular, non-flavored coffees. Anyone else? I do know that they spray on the flavoring with gluten for the flavored coffees....

What kind of trouble?

Coffee in the morning always gave me a rumbly, sour stomach :( I decided I'm probably better off drinking tea instead.

Unflavored coffee is certainly gluten free. It can be an irritant to a compromised digestive system, especially on an empty stomach.

Spraying on gluten with flavors is news to me. Can you identify that source? :)

I get a rumbly stomach at about 10:30 the earliest or so and I will not have eaten anything else. I like to drink tea but am having trouble with having a gluten free source in my town.

As far as the spray and the coffee flavoring, I'll have to look that up in my huge binder again. I ran across that a while ago and honed in on that because I love coffee!

Most herbal teas should be gluten-free! Avoid the ones that sound like coffee flavors... toffee, almond, hazelnut, pumpkin spice, gingerbread, etc...

You could even try making them yourself using fresh herbs. For example...

- Put a handful of mint in a glass pitcher

- Fill with boiling water

- Let it steep for at least 10 minutes... the color will depend on what species of mint you're using (peppermint is clear, chocolate mint is yellow, etc...)

- Strain out the leaves

- Enjoy! In the summer it's GREAT as iced tea

You can do this with just about any edible herb.. chamomile, rosemary, basil, lemon balm, bergamot, lavender... the possibilities are endless. :P

I recently stopped coffee because it was causing my tongue to tremor. Now I only have that reaction when my adrenalin is up, still it's not nearly as strong or long lasting as with coffee. Now I just have tea.

I had a problem with coffee when my digestive tract was not doing so well. I had to cut it out for 3-5 days in order to drink it and not have any problems.

I also noticed that I had major problems with Foldgers Custom Roast. I do just fine with the Classic Roast, dont ask why I have no idea.

I posted something about coffee once and it is a natural laxitive. Again, maybe let your guts heal a bit then try the coffee again. I cant live without it lol

I think I am having trouble with Hills Brothers, and Folgers Classic Roast is fine for me too! I just have to wonder if they are using a lower grade coffee bean and then spraying on the flavoring... I have to look up that source regarding it having gluten.

Also, as far as the teas, I know that not all Celestial Seasonings brands are gluten free, and there are others that some of the teas are and some are not gluten free. The flour product keeps the tea leave pieces from clumping like in spices.

Great idea on the mint leaves.... sounds tasty!

Thank you - I can always count on accurate and good information here!

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
