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 also buy Stash brand tea. Have been for years with no problems.

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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
