Coffee and gluten/grains? page

Someone sent me this:
Gluten Issues or Celiac? Don’t Drink Coffee!

Discuss. Personally she isn't quoting any research and I have never found coffee to exacerbate (or improve) my IBD nor have I ever heard anyone say it has.

Ohhhh goddammit!

Coffee was the one thing I had left...
Gave up chocolate and gave up tea because I'm a walking time bomb for kidney stones... gave up all the other bad** habits... except for one or two lovely cups of coffee 4-5 days a week because it's freaking delicious.


And now that's gonna cause autoimmune problems too!
I want more information.

**bad- chocolate, tea, and coffee are not really "bad"... they have wonderful properties when consumed in moderation... by people who can process them properly and who don't have medical issues evidently. Goddammit!

[solomani]

Don't believe everything you read. Coffee is my line in the sand.

[cori93437]

I've given up everything else... and had great positive results with my autoimmune issues.

I will likely be drinking my coffee while I do further research on this one though...
I will only give up this last comfort very begrudgingly.

Things I will not give up:

Coffee, beef, bacon, scotch, barbells, guns, you can have the rest.

I'm less complex. I just need coffee, chocolate, and tequila.

bloody hell, not coffee!

le sigh, where to find money for the cross reactivity test to find out?

I dunno if it is because I am gluten sensitive or plain coffee-sensitive, but I feel the best when I don't drink coffee. I don't like the idea of giving up tea, but maybe I should do that too. Tea prompts me to snack anyway (I love 'tea with something' in the evening).

[solomani]

Leida, I am like that with coffee.

For years, I played the 'let's find the least damaging snack to have with tea after supper', and maybe the way to go is to give up tea & just drink water and broth. I am trying to stop playing the games with food, and it looks like one of the good venues to pursue.

To clarify, coffee impacts my mood & energy swings and sleep. I think it also contributes a lot to bladder problems.

Now with teas, I drink green and herbals, and what I am wondering is if I am getting some odd chemicals along with the leaves and for the bagged teas, hell knows what goes into them at all. And tea would be one thing I have never tried to drop. Sounds like a good experiment to me.
