Coffee Stations At Work

Hi,

At my work there are several coffee stations within areas where people use microwaves to heat up or prepare a lunch. I know the coffee used at these stations is gluten free. I'm wondering if it's okay to drink the coffee at work, or if I shouldn't due to potential CC issues. I would love some guidance on this. Thanks!

I don't see why not, if the particular coffee is gluten-free. Unless your co-workers are slobs or careless and have lots of gluteny food piled around the coffee pot, I say go ahead and enjoy!

Given that the coffee is gluten-free, you should be fine. (If you use the microwaves, I would use a piece of paper towel between it and your food/container.)

I can't see how they could easily cc the coffee unless they drop crumbs in the pot, and that's not likely. I'd say you are pretty safe with the coffee.

Your coffee pots have lids, right?

Thanks for all the replies! The coffee pots don't have lids, but there isn't usually a mess in the kitchen, so I think I may be okay. Thanks all!

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
