I keep hearing I should be concerned about tea. What should I be looking for to avoid?

I know there is sometimes barley in green tea, are other herbal teas safe as a rule?

Check for barley in all teas. Read the ingredients. Most are fine but there are a few with barley.

I have seen a few tea boxes with allergy information as some contain barley but it is rare that I found any teas that contain barley. It's always safe to pay close attention to the ingredients and any information provided on the package for those with allergies.

A handful of teas have barley. I've always seen it listed.

You also might see a false urban myth about gluten and teabag adhesives. Don't worry about that one. If the tea does not have a gluten grain listed, it is safe.

I know when I've looked at Tazo teas, I haven't seen any ingredients listed. That's why I've opted for Stash teas, which do list ingredients, in addition to my 'regular' Red Rose tea which is just 100% black tea. I also saw a thread that said that Stash has confirmed their teas are gluten-free. In case that helps!

I used to buy a lot of Yogi brand teas, they must have ingredients listed as I only drink herbal teas and always check the ingredients before buying. I had a Teavana open at the mall by my house recently and the people there are always very helpful and accommodating and know or can find out what is in their teas.

The only issues I've had with teas are the ones with added "flavors". For whatever reason, many of them have added soy. I drink quite a variety of teas, but don't recall seeing any with gluten.

I've seen plenty of teas with soy, and a few with barley. You really need to read the labels on them just like with any food item. The ones with extra flavors added are the ones to watch out for.

A lot of Celestial Seasonings teas are gluten free. They're very good about labeling their teas clearly.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
