Private Selection Vanilla Coffee?

I think my coffee might have gluten in it? It's weird. I purchased Private Selection ground vanilla flavored coffee from my local Kroger a little while back. It was alright the first couple times but the most recent 2 times it gave me immediate diarrhea unlike anything I have experienced with other coffee.

I was diagnosed with Celiac a month ago so I am new to this all. Could the "natural" or "artifical" flavorings contain gluten? There is no indication on the package of wheat contamination nor is there a "gluten free" seal. For awhile I thought it was my peppermint mocha Coffeemate, but it clearly states lactose/gluten free on the label. I tried the creamer with a different coffee today (Starbucks Pike Roast) and I was fine. So what's the deal!? I sent an email to Kroger about it but have yet to hear back.

It is not uncommon to use Barley Malt in flavorings in coffees, it could be you will have to wait for the email to be sure. I checked private selections but they say they will list any known allergens when they are used in their products. I do know Kroger had a issue a month or so ago about a product containing malt in the "Flavorings" and not mentioning it as containing gluten and made some people sick. I think I saw it in a article I skimmed on glutenfreewatchdog.  

Seems you narrowed it down to something in it making you sick though, so best to stay away from it for now. If you still get mild reactions you might want to change out you coffee maker.

If it says "artificial flavorings" or "natural flavorings"...I will refuse to eat or drink it unless it says specifically that it's gluten free. The damage to my villi is not worth it.

Very intriguing I noticed something interesting in this, in Europe they use wheat in caramel coloring, this could be relevant to several of the members here. As to coffee and flavoring, I have found a few companies that have admitted to using barley malt in flavorings. These are normally labelled but there was that one issues I mentioned before where they use a malt and the wheat warning gets left off til someone gets sick.

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.

      Is Gliadin X recommended/safe for accidental glutening or where there is a risk of cross contamination? Or is there any other recommendation in such case? We travel alot to meet family and dine out as well. There is always risk of accidental glutening and cross contamination. Thanks.
