Coffee Ugh!

After eliminating dairy, soy and most processed gluten free items, I am still feeling very gassy and uncomfortable. This morning I felt pretty good when I got up, that is until I had my cup of coffee. I am not tolerating coffee anymore. It leaves me feeling very similar to how I feel when I have been glutened. I don't get D with it but I get very bad gas pains and a trapped gas feeling. It's apparent that I need to go off coffee and switch to decaf tea now. I was just wondering if anyone else has similar issues with coffee.

Thanks!

Coffee is one of those things your body may "see" as gluten. Some people have the same issue with tea, or decaf tea. Try it and see.

I almost freaked giving up coffee (I was in the try anything stage). I dont think coffee is a problem, but strangely enough I lost my taste for it. But oh wow do I have a chai habit now!!

I just read a few articles about how coffee can be cross reactive for celiacs. I think that means that the body will have a reaction because it is recognizing coffee (or soy, casein,) whatever it may be as gluten even though it's gluten free. Interesting.

I have never been able to tolerate coffee. Even when I sneaked it when I was little it made me sick to my stomach. Now I feel terrible all over when I drink it.

Do you have any issues with corn? I just found out the other day that coffee is often polished with cornstarch - wacky crazy stuff.

Pricklypear, I could have written your post!

When I have coffee now I feel glutened for a few hours. Brain fog, nausea, major fatigue and headaches. I was heartbroken to give up coffee, I love coffee.

I've replaced with with Chai. I drink a lot of it. I find it more satisfying than other teas because it has such a complex flavour. I have at least 6 varieties of chai in my cupboard.

Yes! I'd been off coffee for a bit, then started drinking it again recently. Can't tolerate it anymore. Am also a chai junkie now. What are your favorite kinds?

I've tried Oregon Chai less sweet and Tazo. I prefer Tazo.

I like brewing by the bag, but it's only "tea" - not strong or spicy enough for milk. I'd love to maker own but have hesitated to commit with all the food weirdness.

Has anyone seen any research that supports the idea of coffee crossreacting with gluten. I've seen this idea, but not any research.

Cyrex Labs is who I see referenced regarding this. I can't find the research, but there are articles EVERYWHERE. too many to sift through to find the research. I haven't worried much about it since I figured out it doesn't bother me, and developed the chai habit.

Here's a kink to the test:

That gluten cross reactivity stuff seems to be unsubstantiated. I spent a lot of time checking references and none of them seemed to substantiate it.

I have problems with a lot of coffee, but do fine with Wegmans organic, washed whole beans.

Coffee is one of my treats.

We always buy organic, too. Perhaps that helps. I've heard of people having coffee issues. - not gluten related, usually caffeine or chemical.

I have tried coffee from a variety of sources, caffienated, decaf, organic, regular, locally roasted, factory roasted... it all makes me feel like I've been glutened. I know that anectodes are not data but my experience is definitely that my body sees coffee, thinks gluten and takes a few hours to sort out the mistake.

Wait, what? Ugh, this is not good. Do you have a link or any more info? Would it rinse off?

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
