So, I had my first cup of Gevalia traditional blend coffee this morning. Just one cup. It tasted great.

I called Gevalia this morning just to check and they told me ALL of their coffees have a TRACE of gluten in them.

Wow.

Hope I don't vomit. :rolleyes:

Seriously, Jestgar, I have no idea. BUT I am PISSED. Could they run the beans on lines with wheat. How flipping stupid.

Doesn't that just make you mad!!! I am moving to the wheat free planet!!!

I hope you don't get sick, but maybe they don't know what they are talking about. I could understand flavored coffee, but not plain.

Maybe they are one of the few companies who use wheat flour to move the beans along the lines.

Don't they have the individual pod packs? If so maybe the glue they use to seal it up is wheat?

Who knows???? Erg. I'm not sick so far.

I swear I read in one of the lists lurking around that Gevalia unflavored reg and decaf are fine. Whatever. I threw it out!

They could also be covering their posteriors :unsure:

I drink it daily and was told it was gluten free.

I think this is probably the case.

But doesn't it half make you wonder whether it has gluten or not, and a statement like that tends to put me right off a product alltogher.

Really? You drink it...

I did not get sick AT ALL. I'm fine today and I always have a reaction about 24 hours after I ingest a gluteny- thing.

What's really odd is - on Thursday morning I called and checked and the woman said yes, traditional and signature should be fine. I didn't drink it yet. I called on Friday just to double-check and the woman and guy I talked to read me a statement that said "All our coffees contain trace amounts of gluten."

Don't worry guys, I'm going to write to them and let you know. Because frankly, it was the best coffee I've had in a while.

I looked up gevalia in the CSA guide it is a company of Kraft, according to CSA they will list all wheat barley and oats on their lables. I really do drink it regularly. :unsure:

      I've been to the Mayo Clinic. Outstanding place. Did they test to see if you might have refractory celiac disease? This may explain why the symptoms persist but what numbers are off the charts? Are they antibodies, liver enzymes?

      Vaccines

      Hi Dawn, Back in the Fall of 2019 with Covid looming I considered getting a pneumonia vaccine. I went as far as getting in line and reading the pamphlet and saw the warning about not getting it if you ever had a reaction to diphtheria. I instantly recalled a tetanus booster shot in 1971 that caused a severe reaction. Tetanus booster shots include diphtheria...

      Vaccines

      Since we don't know what you reacting to when you get vaccinated, we can't say whether or not the pneumonia vaccine will cause a reaction. Is there some common ingredient in these vaccines that is causing a reaction. I mean, with many vaccines the antigen is delivered via a solution containing albumin (chicken egg protein). Some people are allergic to chicken...

      Hi Dawn,   Back in the Fall of 2019 with Covid looming I considered getting a pneumonia vaccine.  I went as far as getting in line and reading the pamphlet and saw the warning about not getting it if you ever had a reaction to diphtheria.  I instantly recalled a tetanus booster shot in 1971 that caused a severe reaction.  Tetanus booster shots include diphtheria.  I haven't had a tetanus shot since, but recent lab results show that I have many timed the immunity required.  Good Luck.

Some people are allergic to chicken egg protein so they can't take those vaccines. That kind of thing. When you say your "numbers are off the chart", what numbers do you refer to? Are you referring to celiac disease antibodies?
