On my 7th day Gluten free,, but still having problems every morning after having my coffee & g/f creamer. Within 10 minutes after drinking it I'm running to the restroom. So, I went 2 mornings without & had no problems, 2 mornings with & had the problem!!! SO, I should not have it, RIGHT? but my question is WHY I react like that? I don't like milk, but have no problems with sour cream or cheese. No problems with Dr.Pepper or tea. Any thoughts????

Does your creamer have casein (or even carrageenan or soemthing)? It's possible it could bother you.

You could try the coffee without the creamer. See if that works. Some people can't handle coffee...but if you love the coffee, might wanna see if it's something in the creamer first. When you're new at gluten free, your gut may react strangely to stuff that's usually doesn't bother you while healing is taking place.

Hi. I'm also having trouble with coffee. I hate the thought of giving it up, I've practically lived on coffee for as long as I can remember. I'm down to drinking it only in the morning....forget the afternoon pot that I used to make...I bloat up like a pufferfish before I even get the first cup down. But then again, everything is doing that to me. I've been on the diet for almost 3 months and still having lots of problems. The good news is, that at least now I'm having less problem at least some of the time. Hang in there!

Coffee can react bad to the stomach especially in mornings on an empty stomach it can be bad. It could be something in it that is causing it. Is it just when you have coffee in the morning or anytime?

The "non-dairy" creamer would do that to me, whether due to the casein, HFCS or who-knows-what.

(Just remembered that my little brother had the same issue, tho he wasn't celiac as far as we know)

Easy test tho.
Coffee alone, or creamer alone. I didn't catch whether the creamer is a liquid or powder, so obviously it's more doable if it's liquid.

I often use Pacific brand Hazelnut milk in coffee , tho I usually don't think my coffee needs anything, now that I've started buying GREAT coffee from little coffeehouses which have a roaster in-house.

Artfully roasted small-batches are SOOOOOOO good I've turned several former Starbuck's (aka charbucks to reflect the burnt flavor of over-roasting, which fully necessitates milk/creamers/flavorings) drinkers into anti-starbucks converts.

I just have 1 cup in the Morning (on an empty stomach) and use liquid creamer. I plan to try coffee without any creamer tomorrow & see what happens.
THANKS SO MUCH!

After being gluten free for 7 months I was still having problems regularly, and it was always after my coffee, which I had two cups every morning with that Coffee Mate Vanilla stuff, dairy and gluten free. I also found myself not eating any breakfast in the morning because it took my stomach a couple hours to settle down after I had the coffee and food was aggravating it, and I couldn't "not eat" since I was already losing too much weight. Plus I am a college student, and I need to feed my brain.

So this past summer, (after summer school let out) I did it.... I went caffeine free. I never thought in a millions years I would give up coffee for anything or anyone! But I was feeling so much better after going gluten free, except for the coffee... so I had to try it.

It was a tough couple of weeks, but soooo worth it. I am so glad I gave it up.
I now drink decaf with the same creamer every morning... and I can eat breakfast. I also am no longer a slave to caffeine and all the diuretic effects that go along with it.

So... I guess for me, the pain of staying on caffeine was worse than the pain of getting off. I have to tell you though, I almost gave up a time or two while I was decafing by body. In the end it was totally worth it in a huge way, and I am really glad I did it.

(Now I am hanging on to my wine...

Good luck!
