Caffeine?

This topic may have been discussed many times, but a search didn't bring me an answer. Where does caffeine fit into all of this? Is it a problem? I don't function very well without it--very low energy. Do I need to give it up? I don't feel that I am addicted to caffeine because I can eliminate it for several days without getting a withdrawal headache.

There are no specific problems with caffeine. A lot of alternative health people will tell you it's bad for you, but there are just as many studies showing that it has positive effects including increased alertness, improved mood, and possibly helping to prevent Alzhiemer's. Some people get the "jitters" and anxiety from caffeine; those people tend not enjoy drinking it.

You need to be sure you're not drinking a flavored coffee that has gluten, or a tea that has malt or barley in the blend. Coffee is a GI irritant so if you're still having trouble you can try switching to tea to see if it helps.

I agree w/ Skylark. Caffeine isn't an issue unless it's messing with your GI tract, or if you have any blood sugar problems. I switched to all herbal teas several years ago, but if I could tolerate caffeine, I would definitely drink it up!! ;)

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?

      You don't need an official diagnosis to request a gluten-free diet in either a hospital or nursing home--this can be requested by anyone. The higher costs associated with existing conditions for life insurance is a reality, and regardless of your politics, it could become a reality again for health insurance in the USA. For many this could make health insurance unaffordable, thus, everyone who is undiagnosed should understand such potential consequences before they go the official diagnostic route. As mentioned, once it's on your medical record, it won't go away.
