Tazo Tea

I was recently diagnosed, and am still trying to get all of the gluten out of my diet. I thought I had done so, but a couple of weeks ago started having issues, the only thing I could think of was the new Awake Tazo Tea I had just bought a package of. I cut it out, but looked on their website and they say it is gluten free. So, I just had some yesterday and this morning and I feel like I may have gotten some gluten again.

Has anyone out there had issues with drinking the "gluten free" Tazo Tea? It says on their website that all but four of their teas are gluten free, but I thought maybe there is a cross contamination issue or something? Either that or I am getting gluten from some other source that I haven't figured out yet.

Thanks!

I've never had trouble with any of their teas, and I am extremely sensitive.

Have you eliminated dairy? That can be troublesome while you are healing for most people.

Well "Awake" Tea sounds like it's probably fully caffienated. Some people have problems with caffiene for a while. You might try decaffienated. Are you eating something with it when you are drinking it? That might help, too.

I drink at least 3 cups of Awake tea a day, and have never had an issue. Could be the caffeine as Janet suggested, or what you put into it for flavoring. Sometimes right after we go gluten-free, our systems become more sensitive for a while. Did you drink tea before being diagnosed?

I would suggest a simple food diary for the next few weeks--that should help you see a pattern. :)

Thanks everyone, sounds like it is not the tea, or if it is it may be the caffeine. I have not eliminated dairy so that could be it too.

I will try keeping a food journal, maybe that will help. Thanks for the suggestion!

      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.
