Does anyone know of any brands of coffee that are gluten free (I especially love vanilla, hazlenut and irish creme)? I love my coffee and cannot give it up.

Thanks

coffee itself is gluten free.

Coffee Mate creamers are gluten free too.

So enjoy.

We have the Kuerig coffee maker with Kcups. It's wonderful!!! I understand that all of the kcups, except two, are gluten-free. The only one that doesn't give me much turmoil though is the Newmans Organic Decaff Kcups.

If you already have a preferred brand of flavored coffee (and as a fellow coffee lover, I'm sure you do :lol: ), give them a call and ask. Plain coffee beans are gluten-free, and I have never had an issue with them. I did get glutened once from flavored coffee-- I'm pretty sure it was barley malt or some such. That was one in many though, and I think it was the exception.

But I'd give them a call to be on the safe side. ;)

I called on my previous 2 brands of favorite coffee when I first went gluten-free. They told me that there is no gluten, but that the beans could be hauled in the same trucks that haul wheat...they couldn't say. I asked them if they rinse their beans...and they said NO!!! He acted like it was preposterous! Be careful...

I emailed Einstein Brothers and Intelligentsia (got some free bags of coffee from them), explained what gluten was, that I was allergic to it (people pay attention to allergies), and that I could have nothing that contained or even touched gluten. Both places verified that their coffee was gluten free. Is this a sufficient amount of information to safely go off of? Would you believe them? Do you always believe someone who says their products are gluten free? I just want to know because I have heard of people reacting to suppposedly safe foods. I have silent symptoms so I could hurt myself and never be the wiser.

I always ask more specific, openended questions. "what else is processed in the same facility?" "what else is shipped in the same trucks?" etc

Let's just think about how & where coffee is grown. It is grown in places like Hawaii, Sumatra, etc. Places where wheat likely doesn't grow. Unlikely anyone would grow coffee and wheat. Coffee gets harvested and put in those big bags. Then shipped to the places that roast them and package. There really isn't likely anything else processed in a Folgers or Starbucks or Roasterie coffee plant. I'm thinking if there is wheat in my coffee beans, it's because there is wheat growing less than 1 mile from my house and I played in the field & brought it home.

You could look up info about growing, harvesting & processing coffee beans for your self. It could be possible they put malt in a flavored coffee but they will label that, I would think. Or for a flavored coffee you could ask.

Coffee is generally quite safe, although I don't like the flavored stuff so I haven't checked it lately.

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      I suggest you look at your calorie intake. If you're not eating enough calories, your body will signal you to wake up and forage for more food. You need to be eating more calories than a healthy person of normal weight in order to gain weight. Also, your diet is extremely low in fat unless you are eating chicken thighs with the skin on, which I would recommend...

      False blood test positive?

      Since your mother has celiac disease, I would still keep an eye on this as there is a genetic component. Study results vary wildly, but the numbers are that anywhere from 10% to almost 50% of the first degree relatives of those with active celiac disease will themselves develop celiac disease.

      False blood test positive?

      Your initial test showed a moderately raised level of IgA tTG2. There are several causes of this apart from coeliac disease including: inflammation of the joints, bowel and liver. Transient rise in levels can be caused by an infection.

      Rogol72, your recommendation to the OP to "show them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis" confuses me as the OP does not mention having dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hi @sillyyak52, I empathize with you. I would suggest showing them pictures of "dermatitis herpetiformis" which is a complication of undiagnosed/untreated Coeliac Disease. You can find them on Google images. It's pretty alarming to see and it may be the wake up call they need to visually understand what gluten can really do to the body. In this case...

Also, your diet is extremely low in fat unless you are eating chicken thighs with the skin on, which I would recommend. Also be sure to add butter (real butter) to your vegetables. You can measure and record everything you eat, then look up and calculate what your protein/carb/fat intake is. Or just eat more chicken rather than filling up on vegetables and fruit.

      Hi @sillyyak52, I empathize with you. I would suggest showing them pictures of "dermatitis herpetiformis" which is a complication of undiagnosed/untreated Coeliac Disease. You can find them on Google images. It's pretty alarming to see and it may be the wake up call they need to visually understand what gluten can really do to the body. In this case the skin ... The Coeliac rash that won't go away without a strict gluten free diet and Dapsone treatment (a toxic antibiotic). I'd also look at @glutenhatesmyguts on youtube  ... a funny educational take on Coeliac Disease ... the clips titled as follows may help ... "Celiac Disease Explained | Why Gluten REALLY Hates My Guts!" and "Story time: I almost ..." This person is on Tiktok also and has a category "Coeliac & gluten-free Info ". There's plenty of Coeliacs on Tiktok and IG posting frequently and advocating for themselves about the need to be strict and what happens when they get glutened.    Celiac Canada also has good resources on YT, both long and short educational clips  ... @CCACeliac . Do you know any Coeliacs in your area who could help you explain the need to be so strict? Some Coeliacs have mild symptoms while others have awful reactions to just a few crumbs. Or maybe the nurse could put you in contact with some other Coeliacs or a support group to help you with your family. Hope this helps you. And keep advocating for yourself no matter what.
