Tazo Tea

I was recently diagnosed, and am still trying to get all of the gluten out of my diet. I thought I had done so, but a couple of weeks ago started having issues, the only thing I could think of was the new Awake Tazo Tea I had just bought a package of. I cut it out, but looked on their website and they say it is gluten free. So, I just had some yesterday and this morning and I feel like I may have gotten some gluten again.

Has anyone out there had issues with drinking the "gluten free" Tazo Tea? It says on their website that all but four of their teas are gluten free, but I thought maybe there is a cross contamination issue or something? Either that or I am getting gluten from some other source that I haven't figured out yet.

Thanks!

I've never had trouble with any of their teas, and I am extremely sensitive.

Have you eliminated dairy? That can be troublesome while you are healing for most people.

Well "Awake" Tea sounds like it's probably fully caffienated. Some people have problems with caffiene for a while. You might try decaffienated. Are you eating something with it when you are drinking it? That might help, too.

I drink at least 3 cups of Awake tea a day, and have never had an issue. Could be the caffeine as Janet suggested, or what you put into it for flavoring. Sometimes right after we go gluten-free, our systems become more sensitive for a while. Did you drink tea before being diagnosed?

I would suggest a simple food diary for the next few weeks--that should help you see a pattern. :)

Thanks everyone, sounds like it is not the tea, or if it is it may be the caffeine. I have not eliminated dairy so that could be it too.

I will try keeping a food journal, maybe that will help. Thanks for the suggestion!

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

      I see it everyday on my feeds.  They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts.  I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
