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!

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting!  The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.
