Coffee

Been drinking maxwell house hazelnut coffee on and off cause it was in my freezer and I'm pretty sure

its killing my gut. Does anyone know if this stuff has gluten in it?

I tried looking on their website and googling with no luck. the container shows 'natural flavors' as an

ingredient but i guess that could mean anything.

Whats a good gluten free coffee that doesn't cost 10 bucks a pound?

Also, anyone have a good power or protien bar they can recommend?

I tried the Lara bars and I think the nuts tear me up too. they don't seem to agree with me.

The think thin ones are ok, but pricey and sugarless, which i need the sugar.

Thanks

Nate

I drink Maxwell House plain coffee. I avoid all flavored coffees. The coffeemate flavored creamers are gluten free if you want a little flavor to add to it. I just use Lactaid milk and sugar in mine.

Not sure on the bars b/c I don't eat them - i'm sure someone else will chime in.

I had stopped drinking coffee when first DX. I have since been drinking Folgers Simply Smooth with no problems. It is supposed to be gentle on your stomach. I drink one large mug with straight up sugar in the a.m. I would also like to add some flavor, but have yet to check the gluten-free status of any. I know the creamers would add some flavor for you. I not doing much dairy right now and stay clear of the cream. Also, I did drink my coffee really strong and now on the weaker side.

I do not eat any bars as of right now. I cannot do the Lara bars because of allergies to nuts/almonds. I do know that Zone Perfect has some gluten-free bars you may want to look into. The gluten-free list I have is a year old or I would place it here. You can get a list of ingredients on their website. If you would like, I have their number if you want to call. Let me know....

I use Coffee Mate and it says "Gluten Free" under the ingredients.

I had to cut out coffee in the beginning as it ripped up my stomach. After a few months I was slowly able to add it again. Healing time I guess!

yeah it might just be all in my head but when if find something be it coffee or whatever that just says 'natural or artificial flavors' I get spooked. That could mean anything!

The Lara bars do a number on me too and the flavor is not really what I'm looking for.

The Zone perfect ones do not say gluten-free anywhere and all the flavors I saw at Walmart and the grocery store said

'may contain traces of wheat'. I would think they would print on there if it was gluten-free.

Until there is a regulated definition of gluten-free, many companies refuse, for legal liability reasons, to label their products "gluten-free," even though they, in fact, are.

I got a list of gluten-free zone bars from my dietitian who only sees Celiacs. Her daughter has to eat gluten-free.

Can you post that or send it to me? I would greatly appreciate it. The Lara Bars are just not good. I like the Zone ones though.

I actually got one and posted it in the food section. I sent them and email and they replied right away. basically said none of there bars are gluten-free because they are made in a wheat processing facility, but they have a list of bars they do not contain gluten.

Luna Protein Bars are going gluten-free this spring. You might want to read this article for more info: Open Original Shared Link

For some reason I'm not fond of Larabars either.

I think its the consistency for me, there are mushey and heavy with a strange flavor, probably the dates.

Aren't Luna the ones marketed to women, its says something about the balanced bar for women on the front or something like that.

I don't have a clue. According to the article only the Luna Protein Bars will be gluten-free.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result. I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned? Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease...

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
