Has anyone noticed a sensitivity to caffiene since going gluten free?

I personally have not, but then again I don't drink a lot of coffee or soda.

Caffeine is a known irritant to the GI lining though so it's not surprising.

Yes, I had to give it up years ago. I gave up tea then too, but have recently been able to reintroduce tea.

Varies a lot for people though.

I used to have a cup of coffee everyday. Used <_<

Caffeine seems not to go well on me either, although I could have it in my first months gluten-free. Coffee, Coke, black tea, you name it.

I only drank caffeinated drinks before going gluten-free. Coffee all morning and then sweet tea all day, followed by coffee in the evening after dinner, then tea until bedtime. When I went gluten-free I also eliminated coffee and tea. I was strictly drinking water, Lactaid milk and OJ. After 2 weeks or so I reintroduced caffeine, but I only allow myself one cup of coffee per day. I do not drink sweet tea (damaging to my teeth was the main reason I quit that one) so the only other caffeine I may get is from soda, but only then when I eat out.

Here's the interesting part. I do not know what was causing my headaches. I had them every single day for many years. I lived on ibuprofen. What I do not know is if the caffeine had me on the edge of dehydration all the time (was constantly thirsty) or if the celiac (or celiac/caffeine combo) was the cause. Whichever it is, I am not going back to full caffeine because I have had one migraine and zero regular headaches since going gluten-free. And the migraine was noise induced by the flooring guys installing hardwood flooring in my house. So I think I've really had zero headaches in 2 months. That's never happened in my entire life.

Long answer, but caffeine can cause bad stuff in some people, depending on how much is consumed, so trying elimination may answer any concerns you may have about whether it's having any effect on you.

Wow SMDBill, that's fantastic.

I know some people are really sad (by which I probably mean resistant!) to dropping coffee. It is so long for me I dont really remember. I hope hearing your experience persuades some people to try it.

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      By RMJ · Posted

      That is strange.  Other pages talk about testing. The one thing I like about GFCO is that the handbook for their certification process is available on their website.  I may not agree with the whole process, especially the reduced testing, but at least I can see what the process is. I wish the other certifying organizations would publish their processes. GFCO 2024 manual

      GFCO does not require testing of each lot, so the “periodic laboratory analyses” fits their requirements. They say testing is done by certified bodies.  I’m not sure what that means for an Italian company. The GFCO requirement is less than 10 ppm.  Other gluten-free certifying companies may use other limits.

      Thanks for the info on Nuts.com! Looks like they are certified by GFFP which has a 5ppm limit, which is awesome. I was looking on the GFFP website ( https://glutenfreefoodprogram.com/gluten-free-certification-manufacturing/ ) as I was curious about what their certification requirements are, and stumbled on an odd statement. On a page where they're explaining the benefits of getting a certification through them, it says "No mandatory gluten testing requirements." Ummm, what?! I've included screenshots and a link below to where that information is. I've also emailed GFFP to try and get additional info on what that statement actually means, and what requirements (testing, audits, ingredient tracing) if any manufacturers have to go through to obtain/retain a certification through them. They're endorsed by The National Celiac Association so you'd sure think that GFFP would be requiring 3rd party testing for their certification, but at this point not much would surprise me with these gluten-free certifying companies. https://glutenfreefoodprogram.com/gluten-free-certification-manufacturing/

      I have written to them about sharing details of the lab that does testing for them. That way I can at least know the contamination threshold the lab tests for. For I had written to GFCO in regards to another brand that GFCO told me they do not have the info on the testing threshold for contamination on individual brands. They let the companies set that for themselves. Anyway, I am going to try La Tourangelle and see if that works.
