I have never found any coffee that you make in a coffee pot or keurig that was not gluten-free.  

And Mt Dew is gluten-free.  ?

Plain Coffee is gluten free.  So, no worries.  But be careful with Instant coffees that may not be gluten free.  

Make it a date and head over to a big box store.  Cheap coffee makers work just as well as fancy ones.  If you are into being green, avoid a Keurig machine.  It is kind of expensive, but might be worth it keeping coffee fresher if you both do not drink it.  Or look into a pour over or French press system.  Very green.  I use a Melitta pour over coffee system because I like to avoid plastic.  But that is just my personal preference.  It also impresses my daughter’s boyfriend as he is a coffee snob.  ?

I take it that you are trying to give up a sugary soda habit.  Good for you!  I did not start drinking coffee until I was 40.  Now I am addicted.  ?

I use Christopher Bean Flavored Coffees myself...I talked to one of their reps who had celiac in the family and I even was testing a few of theirs out of paranoia years ago and it was all safe.
I have found issues with some flavored coffee, and bulk bin coffee. I messaged several companies years ago and many told me not to drink their coffee...The major brands plain coffee should be fine though but do avoid any instant ones.

As for a coffee makers I would suggest a cheap pour over....unless your like me...in which case you can get a Newco IA-TD But I had to run water lines to it and install filters...But I love having boiling hot water on demand from the tap for tea etc.

You will find many to be labeled gluten free...used to see it on the delight ones.
I personally just use Almond, Cashew (rich and creamy) or coconut milk for creamers as dairy can be a issue for some celiacs...I think almond breeze even released a extra thick and rich coffee creamer.

A lot of it says gluten-free on it - international delight, and nestles?  Does he want a flavored creamer?  Maybe just milk or half and half and sugar ?

You sound like you need to take a breath!  

They don’t add gluten to make it 20ppm.  Coffee and creamer are usually just naturally gluten-free.  I use International Delight and have never had issues.

My hubby uses Coffee Mate.  It states gluten free on  the label. Sometimes I get him the almond-based one.  I prefer half and half.  But I confess, I had International Delight this summer. My cousin loves the chocolate one.  She is gluten free too.  But it is too sweet for more than a once in a while treat if you have diabetes like me.  

I get the anxiety of getting glutened.  I can tell you that it improves with time.  

I used to buy croissants from Costco for my daughter’s lunch. I put the in zip-lock bags and froze them.  I touched them all the time and carefully washed my hands.  I made sure not to let crumbs get on the counter.  Same with a frozen burrito. I placed in on parchment paper, sealed the paper and microwaved the burrito.  (She is in a dorm now.....)

Just touching gluten is not going to make you sick.  Just take precautions.  

When my kid came home from anywhere, she washed her hands.  We all do because of germs (besides gluten).    Just have your boyfriend brush his teeth and wash his hands before he comes into your home.   He is not covered in gluten unless works in a bakery, pizza joint, restaurant or is a wheat, rye or barley farmer.  I think you get my point.  

Relax!

I need flavor also, I normally wait for a sell then buy a dozen or so of these. I have given reviews on a good amount of them, some are dead on others lack in strength. Just sweeten and add creamer and they are glorious...and yes they are gluten-free been drinking them for years.

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, get serum antibody testing done for celiac disease. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.
