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!

      @BoiseNic Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  This Paleo diet cuts out most everything except meat, veggies and some fruits.  By cutting out all the carbohydrates, especially processed ones, the carbohydrate loving bacteria and fungi like Candida get starved out and die off.  After that, taking probiotics to help repopulate the gut is beneficial.  The new strains of bacteria don't have to fight the established unhealthy yeasts and bad bacteria which causes a rise in histamine levels which can make one feel sick.   Certain vitamins help keep bad bacteria and fungi at bay.  Thiamine is one.  Antibiotics can deplete Thiamine stores.  The Gluten free diet can be low in Thiamine and the other vitamins and minerals needed for healthy skin and digestive tract.  Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc, and Niacin B 3 are important to skin health.  Niacin is especially helpful in Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  I like the kind that flushes (Nicotinic Acid - not the same as nicotine in cigarettes).  The flushing gets less and less the longer it's taken, but Niacinamide which doesn't cause flushing can be taken instead.     Here's an interesting article.  Compare the bacteria mentioned in the article with your Skinesa and then with the Visbiome probiotics.   The Role of Probiotics in Skin Health and Related Gut–Skin Axis: A Review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10385652/ Visbiome https://www.visbiome.com/collections/all/products/visbiome-capsules

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

      The short answer is if it hurts, don't do it. Yogurt may help sooth your gut and repopulate it with benificial bacteria.  I prefer whole milk yogurt because it is not processed and the no fat yogurt is processed dehydrated milk powder with guar gums and water added to make it mouth feel like fat.  Especially in early healing there may be other foods you cannot tolerate for a while.

      I guess I would encourage you to abstain from the wine for a while. If you know something causes you pain then it is a good idea not to do it if you don't have to.

      We have had numbers of others on this forum report pain in that same area. Have you been checked for an H. Pylori infection? This is something very common in the celiac population.
