Mcdonald's Sweet Tea

This may seem like a really strange question, but I have been keeping up with my normal everyday gluten free menu, but lately I have added McDonald's Sweet Tea, and now I seem to rushing to bathroom every couple of hours. Does this seem strange? Or am I maybe getting glutened by something else.

I never even thought to check the ingredients in teas at restuarants.

The tea they use is

Iced Tea:

Orange pekoe and pekoe cut black tea.

Do you think there is maybe some hidden gluten there?

The tea sounds pretty standard. It could be that the blend is wrong for your digestive tract. Luzianne brand tea has me sitting on the throne for an hour at a time with intestinal cramps and spasms.

I was also wondering if perhaps it's just not the brand/type of tea that might be causing the issue. Green tea, which is supposed to be so good for you, really makes my stomach churn.

What did they tell you??

I'd be wondering if they use the sugar for anything else -- is it cross contaminated by dipping a floury measuring cup in it...

That's a good point. My sister uses a scoop for flour, then uses the same one for sugar when she bakes.

It could be a caffeine issue, too. Caffeine is well-known for causing the runs!

Caffeine is a well known stimulant.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By trents · Posted

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
