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).

Tea that tastes like coffee! :blink:

We will be expecting big things from you now! Welcome!

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 :)

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
