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.

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate...

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten! Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
