The possibility is so remote it isn't even worth worrying about.

Exactly, who doesn't want to enjoy their lives like everyone else. Coffee is delicious. It isn't evil and it doesn't make you sick just because you have celiac. People with celiac disease can relax and enjoy a cup just like anyone else.

This in fact may be the problem. I know there is a small trend toward eating coffee beans whole, even using ground coffee to flavor meat and other food items. For most people this practice is fine but if you have a sensitive digestive system, eating coffee whole could produce irritation. Try drinking coffee instead and see if that helps.

This is exactly the problem. It is absolutely overkill and can only lead to reduced quality of life. Who wants to go through their daily routine denying themselves perfectly safe cups of coffee because they are worried about an issue not even the most ardent advocates of celiac disease speak on. Simply put there isn't a problem with gluten and coffee. Celiacs...

Almost no celiac reacts to 20 PPM. Those who do usually have much more serious conditions. And we must care for and treat these people. But we shouldn't radically alter how we run things or force testing that can only increase prices. And the FDA has clearly stated that any food identified as gluten free or naturally gluten free must have under 20 ppm. So...

As another poster pointed out, these are just legal mumbo jumbo to protect the companies from lawsuits. Unfortunately until we get serious tort reform, it will be difficult for companies to communicate in plain and straightforward English to their customers. Coffee is naturally gluten free and cross contamination pretty much never happens with these kinds...

But coffee is naturally gluten free. It is nearly impossible that this person's coffee was causing them any celiac problems at all. This is a myth that needs to be dispelled because it will lead to increased prices and loss of jobs if we go down that road of demanding companies test for gluten for naturally gluten free foods. As I said, this is a business...

Except the OP wasn't talking about flavored coffees. I suppose we could massively retool the entire system and all of society for 1% of the population and the fraction of a percent of that population who might get exposed to the incredibly unlikely, and nearly impossible, cross contamination concern. But lets be honest, these companies are in the business...

Obviously this is a strange reaction. People have already explained coffee is naturally gluten free. Suggesting that it has gluten it, when the we all know coffee has no gluten, is just non-scientific. I agree with the other posters who say this is probably a result of the coffee irritating your digestive system. This can happen when you consume inferior...

No one has ever had a reaction to coffee, and no one ever will. It is naturally gluten free. What more is there to know? Astounded how complicated people make things sometimes. Sad. Very sad.

I think this is a very important point that people need to understand before demanding things like accuracy in labeling laws: you are a minority of the population and minorities have fewer rights than the rest of us. This is just how society operates. Thankfully someone has said what I am sure we are all thinking. It is about time we stopped blaming food...
