It's pretty basic, but I love Tazo Awake Tea. Tastes very bright and clean :)

I like Open Original Shared Link

Sometimes I just make plain old Lipton, either cold or hot, and add orange juice or lemonade to it. You can use a loose tea basket & put a squished strawberry or raspberrys to steep.

I love my cup of after dinner tea! I just restocked my tea larder yesterday. I was almost out of Twinings Irish Breakfast Tea - my usual tea. I love Good Earth Chai as a special treat although Twinings Earl Grey and Bigelow Constant Comment are also nice teas.

If I'm in the mood for healthy tea, I keep some Twinings African Red Rooibos on hand. It's an African herbal tea that's a lovely color and supposedly good for your insides. I have a close friend who lives in South Africa and she told me about it. "Rooibus" literally means "red bush."

There is a tea store up the road from me and the lady who owns it has a daughter with celiac and she promises me that her teas are safe as her daughter drinks them and works in the store as well. It's all lovely loose leaf tea and I drink it constantly all day.

My morning drink is half a cup of warm milk with half a cup of strong brewed chai tea and a little bit of sugar.

Then for the rest of the day I usually drink various flavours of Roiboos with Hawaiian Colada and Blood Orange being my current favourites. If I need a bit of a boost in the afternoon I make a cup of wild blackberry black tea, no cream or sugar.

I love tea. I have a whole cupboard devoted to tea and the things needed to brew it.

As far as grocery store tea goes I really like the Tetley that comes in the round boxes with the plastic lid. Warmth (Cinnamon Spice), Mojito (Mint Lime) and Earl Grey are my first choices.

I drink a WIDE variety of tea. Most of the store bought ones are so-so. To get good tea, you need fresh ingredients, and the stuff on the store has been packaged so long ago. Loose leaf tea is going to be fresher (in general) than pre-packed. And make sure you brew it appropriately for the type of tea that your having. (I dislike black teas in general, but green tea has a SHORT brew time (1-3minutes, depending on the leaf, tops), white tea even less, and herbal teas much longer.)

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.
