Coffee

Black coffee = wide awake and alert morning

Coffee with creamer = tired, groggy, and a headache

Anyone else notice these symptoms? I always thought coffee just didnt do anything to me. I used to even drink coffee and go to sleep at night, but I'm pretty sure it was just dairy! It must be a pretty strong reaction to overcome coffee.

I feel like I've discovered coffee for the first time haha.

Coffee affects me more being gluten free. I've been dairy free almost as long as I've been gluten free, and coffee's always had a strong effect on me regardless. I don't think dairy made me groggy specifically, but I think it may have caused body temp fluctuations.

When I was a kid, I always loved sniffing the coffee can right after Mom opened it. Then I'd ask her for a sip of her coffee and I HATED it! She put cream and sugar in it. I was 18 years old when I happened to be REALLY tired while at someone's house. They offered me coffee and even though I didn't like coffee, I had some. They didn't have any cream or sugar in their house so I drank it black.

 

I had been looking for that flavor all my life! I loved it. I have been drinking coffee ever since and even though you may laugh, I send up a little prayer of thanks to God every morning when I have that first sip.

 

Anyway, I was told that milk or cream react with the coffee to make an acid. Any dairy in my coffee has always made me queasy, even before celiac.

I'm the same way. If I have my coffee black (my preference), no issues at all. But my daughter brought home a flavored creamer (non-dairy, she has severe milk allergies), I felt horrible! So I just stick with what i like and what doesn't make me sick.

      Delayed reaction

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, it's not typical for gluten exposure to cause symptoms as delayed as a week or two after ingestion. In most cases, reactions to gluten occur within hours to a few days, depending on individual sensitivity and how much gluten was consumed. The delayed symptoms you describe—stomach cramping in the mornings and flaky stool—might suggest that something else is contributing to your discomfort. Cross-contamination is a common challenge, especially when dining out, and it's great that you're doing your best to stay gluten-free. However, the inconsistency of your symptoms and the long delay between exposure and reaction could warrant further investigation. It's possible that another gastrointestinal condition, such as IBS, a food intolerance, or a reaction to something else in your diet, might be contributing to your symptoms. You might consider keeping a detailed food and symptom diary to identify potential patterns or triggers. Additionally, consulting your gastroenterologist could provide clarity. They may suggest testing to rule out other issues, such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), microscopic colitis, or other sensitivities. If you suspect cross-contamination is a significant issue, you could also ask for follow-up bloodwork (e.g., tTG-IgA) to check if your antibodies are elevated, which might indicate ongoing gluten exposure.

      Enegy level extremely low

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      No cure so far, and a treatment might still be years away. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure the article would be misleading, as it offers many different avenues to pursue for those with ongoing symptoms. The recommendation to keep a food diary and remove common food intolerance triggers would be a good way to discover issues with casein/milk, especially if you added that back to your diet after a couple of months and your symptoms returned. Many additional food intolerance issues can be permanent in some people.
