Coffee has a lot of acid in it.  Could you be are having stomach issues with that?  

Coffee does not cause you to make Celiac antibodies that attack the intestines.

Thanks for getting back to me.  Well I stopped coffee and my stomach issues stopped...kinda stinks tho.  I was concerned about it attacking intestines...glad i know!  I am going through some forums because I still have some mild issues...but much better than years ago. :)

For me, I found that the effect of the coffee acid on my stomach kind of comes and goes.  I might have a few days it just hurts!  I use come creamer in it and that helps.  I can do dairy, but I really like the So Delicious vanilla creamer.  Maybe go a week or two and then try with creamer?  Or mix it with chocolate almond milk?

my hubby said that the acid is probably the culprit.  I like the the silk dairy free creamer,,,but i am going to stay away from coffee and see what happens.  i don't like being in these DF and gluten-free diets...but i have no choice.

Yeah we had a huge debate while back about the safety of coffee, most are safe, only exception is coffee from bulk bins in stores like whole foods or flavored artisan blends sometimes come into contact with contaminated scoops, ingredients, or in the VERY rare case they might use barley malt or roasted barley in a few flavor options. Name brands are normally safe, I contact a whole list of companies and did find that many companies that do "Specialty" flavored coffee do have gluten contamination issues NOTE these are smaller special order ones.  I also found one that is gluten free and the main rep has gluten issues and celiac in her family. If you want to try again Christopher Bean Coffee has some wonderful dessert flavored coffee that I get often.

Then again it could be as kareng says and just a acid issue and it irritating your damaged gut and intestine. But do not fret you should be able to have some once it heals. Decaffinated for now might be easier on your stomach and there is the brewed cocoa alternative from Crio Bru.

My grandmother always told me never to have tea or coffee on an empty stomach.  She said a few crackers, toast or cookies served with tea helped to avoid an “bilious” stomach.  She was a nurse.  Sometimes old advice still holds true.  ?

thank you guys for the information.  i have heard that coffee can never be 100% gluten-free...but i think more and more that it may be acid.  

thanks for all your help

A lot of celiac sufferers have restless legs. Coffee and especially diet soda greatly worsen my RLS.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By trents · Posted

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
