True? Maxwell House Instant Coffee Gf?

I just got a list of gluten-free foods from Kraft Foods

(http://www.kraftcanada.com/assets/docs/KLG_all.pdf)

and they say that their Maxwell House instant coffee is gluten-free. I had heard that all instant coffee cannot be gluten-free because of something they add on the production line to prevent clumping.

Is this really gluten-free? Are any other brands of instant coffee gluten-free?

thanks

In four years I've never found an instant coffee that wasn't gluten-free in the U.S.

Read the ingredients--if it says 100% coffee and nothing else, then it is fine. Be very leary of flavored coffees, they do many times contain gluten as do flavored teas. Always read the ingreds, never take anything for granted. I just found this info on an MSNBC website, by Phil Limbert:

Hidden sources of gluten:

Many vitamins and medications can contain gluten in their additives. Always check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any medication.

Be careful of cross-contaminating foods. This can happen in the toaster, deep fryer, griddle, etc.

Imitation seafood and instant or flavored coffees and teas

Glue on envelopes and postage stamps

Chewing gum

Some lotions, creams, and cosmetics

For more information go to www.celiac.org.

I  thought instant coffee was gluten free as well but apparently there is a cross contamination problem within the production process. I couldn't figure out what was causing my stomach problems and hives for a couple of weeks. I was told about the instant coffee issue and sure enough, as soon as I stopped drinking it and went back to brewed coffee, everything cleared up. Maybe it's just certain brands but this one said 100% coffee.

Just some info for anyone who likes the imitation seafood, the brand TransOcean is all gluten-free.  My husband makes up a seafood salad once in a while and I like it on cloud bread or rice cakes with some lettuce and tomato (or you could use it in a lettuce wrap).  

Also, has anyone found any flavored coffees or flavoring you can add to coffees that are gluten-free?  I know there are some flavored creamers that are gluten-free but some have corn syrup or soy or other ingredients I try to avoid.  I'd love to find some flavored coffees that are safe.  Any brands anyone has tried and  had good luck with?  I'd especially like to find decaf flavored coffee too.

The main sales rep has celiac in the family and I have tested all the flavors..and reviewed most of them. They are all gluten free and the dessert flavors are great to enjoy many flavors a bit. Try with a sweetener to really bring them out and I found Decaf to best best for my gut.

Ennis, I meant to ask you, are your coffee reviews for this brand online anywhere to read?  You also mentioned some flavored drops you recently discovered that you liked and I think had reviewed, and I was wondering about those reviews too.

The flavor drop company does not post their reviews it seems as their site is messed up and has not let people post them in years (capella). The coffees, if you look under reviews you will often see mine as Ennis or Erogo.....Seems some are lost....hmm need to redo some but here is a example Open Original Shared Link

Thanks Ennis.  There are so many flavors I want to try, and I don't know what to try first. I emailed them and asked if they could consider making more flavors available in their trial sizes.  Maybe if more customers ask them that, maybe they will consider it. How fun it would be to be able to get a bunch of different trial sizes to sample. Sadly, not a single one of the many flavors I am most curious to try are available in their sample sizes.  

Your review for the chocolate glazed donut flavor sounds good!  I will go look for reviews for the flavors I am most anxious to try first and see if you have any reviews for them too.  

...I saw your review for the Amaretto Almond Biscotti flavor. That is one I am really wanting to try.  Have you also tried the Almond In the Mood For Love, and/or the Amaretto one yet, to compare to the Amaretto Almond Biscotti?  This is where if they had all the flavors in trial sizes, it'd be so great.  I want to try all three, but that adds up in cost when you are trying for the first time to even see if you are going to like it or not.  Especially considering there are other flavors besides almond/amaretto that I really want to try out too. But I love almond cookies, amaretto, and marzipan flavors, and I'm not sure what one to try. 

I had a blueberry crumble coffee once that was so delicious.  But have had two other blueberry coffees since then that I didn't like.  And there are a variety of different chocolate flavors, caramel flavors, etc. on this coffee site, it's hard to decide what chocolate one to try, what caramel one, etc.  I guess I'll have to do eenie-meenie-minie-moe, lol.  That Highland Grog one sounds really good too, and I just saw your review for that.  Your reviews are very helpful.  You actually describe the flavor where as some other reviews just say they liked it or it was good. I really appreciate hearing about what the flavor is like. 

I might as well try one or two of the trial sizes, even though they are not on my top favorites to want to try first, but the price is good and who knows, one might become a favorite.  The Jamaica Me Crazy actually doesn't sound bad.  So many tempting flavors though on this website!  I need to stop being so indecisive and pick one already, and order, because I can't wait to get some and give it a try.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Are they close to a drug that will help celiacs with cross contamination

      By kate g · Posted

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By KRipple · Posted

      Hello, My husband has had issues with really bad diarreah for over nine months now. In mid November, he went to the doctor for what they thought was a bad cold, which two weeks later was diagnosed as bronchitis. A week later, in December, I had to take him back to urgent care and from there, to the emergency room cause his vitals were too low. They said he was having an Addisionan crisis and he spent five days in the ICU. Since my husband has Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type II (type 1 diabetes, Addison's and Hashimoto's), I fought for a blood test to determine if he had Celiacs. Given the results of the test, he was told to go to a gastro for an endoscopy. It took two months to get his first appointment with the gastro. Still waiting for the endoscopy appointment. He stopped eating gluten in the hospital and has followed a gluten-free diet since. His diarreah continues to be as bad as before he stopped eating gluten. Still has a horrible cough that makes him hack. His energy is so depleted he pretty much goes to work, comes home and goes lie in bed. He is having issues regulating body temperature. He is barely eating (he's lost 20 pounds since mid-December). Body aches. Totally run down. He has been taking more prednisone lately to try to counter the symptoms.  Today, we went to his endo to discuss these things. She said to continue taking increased amount of prednisone (even though I explained that the increased dosage is only allowing him to do the bare minimum). According to the endo, this is all related to Celiacs. I am concerned because I know that both Celiacs and Addison's can have similar symptoms, but don't know if he would still be having these many symptoms (worsening, at that) related to the Celiac's after stopping gluten two months ago. If anyone in this group has a combination of Celiacs and Addison's, could you please share your experience? I am really concerned and am feeling frustrated. His primary care provider and endocrinologist don't seem to consider this serious enough to warrant prompt attention, and we'll see about the gastro.  Thanks.

      Celiac pain relief

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Karmmacalling I'm very sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell.  Can you tell us exactly what sort of pain you are experiencing and where the pain is?  Is it your lower abdomen, upper abdomen etc?  Do you have any other symptoms? Cristiana

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.
