What the heck? I love coffee. Love is in fact not a strong enough word to describe how I feel about coffee. Sweet brown nectar of the gods.

But I get this weird mini-gluten reaction to it. I'm fine, I drink a cup of coffee and about half way through I feel super sleepy, my stomach just get unsettled and nauseous and my back pain starts to flare up. It only lasts a couple of hours and luckily it passes and I don't deal with 5-10 days of inflammatory symptoms like I do with gluten but it still makes me sad.

I just went a full month with no coffee and then got my son to grab a cup from the shop across the street. Same reaction. :(

Oh well. Now I know, right?

Sounds like the trial separation is going to end in a divorce. No more coffee for Sara! :(

Oh Poppi! I feel your pain :( I go from a normal tummy to massive D with coffee, especially if it has milk in it (I know, duh, lactose...) but the coffee had to go. My coffee guy is probably noticing the lack of funds!

Tea is better for me, but not nearly as satisfying at the moment, but hopefully with time... right???

Chin up chicky - There are worse things in the world.

Hi poppi, I have never been able to drink coffee because it also made me sleepy and sick to my stomach. I found that it has something called tannins in it as well as in cigarettes too. Anything with tannins in it does that to me.

Poppi, just wanted to let you know that you are not alone as I have seen this on the board before (I'm not actually a coffee drinker, I prefer tea). I have seen that some people have successfully reintroduced coffee after giving their guts a chance to heal. Also, some have successfully switched to decaf instead as caffiene was the problem. You might want to try a milder roast or even just go with 1/2 a cup . . . but you might want to wait until you've been gluten free a little longer. I don't want to get your hopes up, just wanted to list a couple of possibilites.

What's the shop across the street? Does home brewed bother you also?

I've been gluten free for 3 years, very strict adherence to the diet, and now I'm suddenly having problems with coffee. It started last week. I get bad gas before I"m even halfway through the cup. I don't drink a lot of coffee, at most 4 cups a week, but I ENJOY those 4 cups!!! I like tea too, but I WANT MY COFFEE!!! I think I'll try a trial separation...maybe my gut is just cranky at the moment.

It's a Tim Horton's. I've also tried a local shop that roasts their own beans and a couple varieties of the Starbucks Via packets. Same reaction every time.

I haven't made any coffee at home since a month before I went gluten free because I was hooked on the Caramel Starbucks Via.

I haven't had any caffeine since 1972 :o but I drink decaf capucchinos all the time :lol: For me, it's the caffeine, so I drink herbal teas also, no coke!!

You have a Tim Hortons across the street? Does that greasy donut smell drive you nuts? Not in a " I want donut" way. We loved them when we have been in Canada & not gluten-free, but they smell greasy.

Maybe give it a couple of months and try some plain home made coffee?

Well it's not exactly across the street more like kitty corner from our back yard and there is an Earl's in between the Tim's and our house so we mostly smell their wood burning ovens which is quite nice.

Ohh- My first post here, and something I can actually help with (maybe).

If you have access to a Teavanna I would highly recommend their JavaMatte Tea. It is delicious and is reminiscent of coffee (also has the kick).

After a full year I have just been able to tolerate one type of coffee: Folgers Simply Smooth. Every other type of coffee wrecks my gut so bad...

No Starbucks

No super strong coffee brewed at work either :P

But if you are willing, give the simply smooth a try.

In terms of gluten free, you can never go wrong with long-black! Then you'll know for sure whether it's the impact of gluten :)

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      I have increased my vitamin intake Vitamin B Complex plus 2 Thiamax, NeuroMag, Benfotiamine with breakfast. I continue reading and watching gluten free items that I eat. Breakfast is Bobs Redmill gluten-free oatmeal with Chobani zero sugar yogurt a banana and blueberries. Lunch since im at a deli gluten-free is hard to come by so I stick with turkey with gluten-free Promise bread. Dinner varies like gluten-free pasta, tacos, chicken, sausage, meat etc. rice or take out from gluten-free places. I have decided to stay away from gluten-free pizza as I feel I felt weird with it unless its store bought frozen. I am going to try to make my own gluten-free bread, Bagels. I have been good with baking gluten-free treats like cookies, muffins. Snacks if its not fruit, veggies I grab a protein bar or chocolate guilty pleasure reeses, hersheys, York PP. I am going to start to use my fitness pal app to track what I eat and note when I feel off to see if I can pinpoint if a trend of a certain gluten-free food is a culprit. I noticed once in a while I feel a little bloated, gassy that I think is from the pizza so I am going to avoid it and continue narrowing it down. I have been doing very well and I have learned even if you think you are doing everything 100% gluten-free eating it can sneak in without you knowing. This year is more traveling which im afraid of but have already looked into gluten-free places in Nashville which they have and back to Aruba I went last year and have the gluten-free places already selected. Most restaurants I have been to have been very helpful with what to stay away from to avoid CC. If a place states they don't have any gluten-free the I stick with a salad or when I took my kids to breakfast as much as I miss the breakfast this place serves I played it safe with yogurt and a fruit bowl so at least my kids were happy to go there again. Local farmers market has great gluten-free items that I treat myself to like different types of breads, baked goods. My journey continues...

I told him im glutenfree since 1994 by colonoscopy with biopsy positive celiac sprue by GI.Its RIDICULOUS when im bringing in material from this site of knowledge as well as the autoimmune institute,and  there's zero interest on their part.Medical IS causing me depression.Im view as a disability chaser, IM STILL RECOVERING from being a bus driver that im still healing and having more issues, now I may have multiple sclerosis or meningioma. Ive reached out, wrote letters, NOT feeling well. This is inhumane.
