Anyone Have Issues With Iced Tea?

I drink a lot of tea and always have. I love iced tea, the more bitter the better. Well, now I am worried I have an issue with it. I don't think it's the caffeine because I can drink a coke or dr. pepper and it actually helps settle my stomach a little bit. No issues at all with those drinks. I will go over break at work and get a glass of Gold Peak black unsweetened tea from the cafeteria. After the tea I get jumpy, jittery, anxious, I get a pain on the outside of my calf, and my foot gets a cold, numb feeling. Can iced tea have gluten in it? I wouldn't think so but I don't think tea has any more caffeine then soda. I really love tea and am really worried I have an issue with it. Can someone please tell me I can keep drinking it?

Well, you obviously have an issue with it but it probably isn't gluten. Tea can have more caffeine than soda. There is also carmel color in that brand. Carmel color is made from corn if wheat isn't declared on the label, but some folks still have trouble with it for non-gluten reasons. I'd personally be a little worried about drinking something that made my foot numb!

If I were you, I'd try making iced tea at home from plain tea leaves and see if you get the reaction. Maybe you need to switch brands or bring tea from home in a thermos.

Your story reminds me that even before having to be gluten free I'd get an upset stomach from drinking teas or other beverages from those commercial dispensers, but could drink them w/no problem if I prepared them myself or trusted the source. Wonder if they clean those things regularly. Maybe your system is more sensitive these days.

Every tea I've known to have barley has listed it.

I get brain fog when I drink tea (I usually drink hot), but have no problems with coffee. So for me, I don't think it's a caffeine issue. It seems like there is something about tea that makes me feel off.

I cam drink sodas no problem but tea has always upset my stomach. I haven't tried it since going gluten free because it uses to send me straight to the bathroom so it doesn't even appeal to me anymore :/

jmrogers31, I contacted the company to confirm that Gold Peak is gluten free (Still important that we all continue to ask the companies directly,so the companies have the inquiry traffic regarding gluten free needs of their products and to confirm "from the horses mouth" as they say that it is currently gluten free). Below is their e-mail response. Cheers and enjoy the tea! ***************************************************************

Comments: IS golden peak tea gluten free? Very important that I know as I

have a medical condition that requires I strictly avoid gluten. I use to

drink the Unsweetened before my diagnosis but have since stopped until I

can confirm that it is gluten free. Thanks.

I don't think gluten is a factor but I really dislike Gold Peak tea. It tastes too artificial. I'd say it's an additive you are having issues with. Are you ok drinking fresh brewed tea?

I can't drink Brisk Iced Tea because of the Red Dye #40 in it. I have a really bad reaction.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.
