can contain gluten. I received a box of Ashbys' teas of London for a gift. Most are flavored. How can you tell if any have gluten in them. I know flavored coffees can.

"barley malt" is a dead giveaway. I had to toss a bunch of my "flavored" tea.

I would look for a phone number or website on the box and get ahold of the company directly and ask. It is not unusual for flavored teas to have gluten, I looked through a whole bunch of Celestial Seasonings special Xmas teas today before I found one that was safe.

Thanks for the help, I found a number and called them. They said all their flavored teas are gluten free. And they have some excellent teas. Still a newbie when it comes to this disease.

Was diagnosed two months ago. Was done with an upper GI and the blood tests.

I noticed Celestial Seasonings will label whether the tea is gluten free or not. Which is a big help.

They do and its GREAT! I was recently Glutened at Starbucks-- Tazo tea, some have gluten. Their Ginger Green tea and a few others as well. If anything reads "natural flavoring" its very possible barley is used (wheat would have to be properly labled).

I drink at least 2 cups of tea a day. Celestial Seasonings will say gluten free, and Stash Tea is 100% gluten free for all products. Get a few brands you know and I would only drink them.

Good Luck!

      Family education

      By trents · Posted

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.
