Looking for a really good coffee. I try to stick with mild coffees, but was looking for something with a little more flavor. Was wondering what your favorite is???

Folgers Medium Dark is my favorite.

I ordered special flavors from Gevalia and like them too.

But the good ole standby is Medium Dark Folgers.

The dark is too strong and the classic is too mild for me.

Starbucks is bitter tasting to me.

I too like mild coffee, and my sister-in-law turned me onto Caribou's DayBreak blend. I use the decaf. It is the best coffee I've ever had. Check out their website. They have customer ratings on each flavor to help you choose the right blend for yourself. Hope this helps!

tea. :P

(I don't like coffee, but green teas, red teas, white teas, herbal teas - lots of good stuff there. especially a green or red chai!)

Caribou coffee is pretty darn good. I got their Mahogany blend which is very dark and delicious. But perhaps the lighter blend someone mentioned is a good start! :) Very good.

Starbucks is my favorite, but I also love 8 o'clock vanilla & hazelnut flavored

I love kona coffee... but I have switched to tea's mostly because the acidity of coffee is too much for me!

I'm from the deep south, a suburb of New Orleans. Down here most of us drink coffee and chicory. It's what they serve at the Cafe DuMonde down in the french quarter, and some say at first it tastes pretty strong but actually the herb, chicory, has no caffiene in it, so including the herb may actually lessen the caffeine content in the same cup of coffee as regular roast. Anyway, if you want to try it, look for the names of FRENCH MARKET, or CDM; you can't get more N.O. than those. My sister lives out of state and she sees these brands at times, but I'll bet you can get coffee & chicory on the internet.

Here's the recipe: If you can have milk, boil a small amount, and top with the brewed coffee to make cafe au lait. Now that I don't do milk, I've just switched to black, or plain hot tea, but please feel free to try a wonderful cafe au lait with some demon sugar on my behalf.

I will admit that I am a super coffee snob ;) My all time fave is a local roaster here in Olympia(I think they may have another store in Atlanta...), but it's called Batdorf and Bronson. I like my coffee strong, but not bitter. Their french roast is heaven in a cup!

I love Maxwell House coffee.

I like any old coffee... black... no weird flavors (like hazelnut, etc). It took me a month or so to get used to black coffee after giving up dairy, but I'm a black girl all the way now!

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thanks, that's a great addition that I hadn't thought of.

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.
