Hi my name is Chris, I am new here. I just wanted to make a list where celiac's can check to see what unflavored coffees are safe, and which ones that are not. I am a cheap bastard so I drink Yuban Original Medium Roast. There website was nice but it had no information regarding gluten. Naturally I assume its gluten free, but I wanted some assurance from the company itself, therefore I emailed them and am in the process of waiting for a reply. Once I get it, I will post it. I would like others to do the same thing on this blog with the coffees that they like, even ones that you hate, the information is useful for us. OMG I can't believe how much stuff has that nasty gluten in it, oh btw I am in the process of drinking yuban coffee and this is my first time since I was diagnosed. I drank two cups with in an hour or two and so far I feel a little rumbly in my tummy but no pain so far. I think its just that coffee is very acidic so.....yeah...

The one I tolerate is 8 O'Clock if I grind the beans at the grocery myself. Flavored coffees don't set well with me.

I haven't had any problems with unflavored coffees. We buy whole beans and grind them ourselves at home. We've bought: Meijer brand, Starbucks, Whole Foods 365, Gevalia, Seattle's Best, and beans from the bulk bins at a local specialty store (coffee is the only thing they sell in bulk). So far so good. We don't buy flavored coffees simply because it's usually hard to determine what "natural flavors" means in the ingredient list.

If you have used flavored coffees in your coffee pot, it could be contaminated. You might try a new coffee pot.

Coffee should not contain gluten. Some flavored ones, I understand, may (although it may not be common).

If you're having problems with plain coffee, it may be too harsh on a compromised digestive system. Cream in your coffee may also give you some issues, until you have had time to heal.

All Green Mountain and Van Houtte coffees, even the flavored ones, are gluten free.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      I had both the genetic genes for celiac. My gastroenologist advised he also took a biopsy during one of my colonoscopies and endoscopy and advised I had celiac disease, along with stomach ulcers from my esophagus stomach down to my small bowel. I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report. I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large...

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      So, I'm a little confused here. I understand you to say that you have not been officially diagnosed with celiac disease. Is this correct? You have had genetic testing done to check for the potential for developing celiac disease and that was positive. Is this correct? I think you meant to type "gluten sensitivity" but you typed "gluten insensitivity...

I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report.  I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large bowel. I was on a strict diet for months following.  I am sorry if I didnt define how I was diagnosed with celiac disease.  I am sorry if you think I was misleading you. I also had to pay $150.00 for the genetic testing.

      So, I'm a little confused here. I understand you to say that you have not been officially diagnosed with celiac disease. Is this correct?  You have had genetic testing done to check for the potential for developing celiac disease and that was positive. Is this correct? I think you meant to type "gluten sensitivity" but you typed "gluten insensitivity". Just so we are clear about the terminology, there is celiac disease and there is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They are not the same but they have overlapping symptoms. Celiac disease causes damage to the small bowel lining but NCGS does not. NCGS is often referred to in short form as gluten sensitivity. However, people often use the terms celiac disease and gluten sensitivity interchangeably so it can be unclear which disease they are referring to. Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has one or both of  the genes that have been most strongly connected with the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develops active celiac disease. This makes the genetic test useful for ruling out celiac disease but not for diagnosing it. A colonoscopy cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease because it doesn't permit the scope to go up into the small bowel where celiac disease does the damage. They use an endoscopy ("upper GI) for checking the small bowel lining for celiac damage.

I have several yrs of not knowing my celiac condition as docs would not do the test. After looking on the internet about my sufferings I insisted on the gene trsting which showed positive for gluten insensitivity and a biopsy on my next colonoscopy that also showed positive which could not help the damage done to my small bowel. So I very rarely have a glass of wine

      @barb simkin, are you sure the chocolate products are gluten-free and not "manufactured on equipment that also handles wheat products and tree nuts", i.e., cross-contamination? And what kind of alcoholic beverages are we talking about? Most beers are made from gluten-containing grains. Just checking.
