If you look at the link make sure you read the comments by Northern Soul.

Coffee has got nothing to do with gluten, the caffeine acts as a stimulant to your bowels and can just be too much for some people. You might be OK with de-caff.

Unfortunately lots of things can give you gluten-type symptoms and not have gluten in them.

Barny was there milk in your coffee? If so could be a reaction to this.

Agree on the previous poster's comments around coffee. Coeliac Disease is an autoimmune reaction to proteins in grains. Coffee beans do not contain these proteins (unless cross-contaminated) so the two are not linked.

However, caffeine is a gastric irritant and coffee also contains molecules which increase stomach acid production. De-caff contains the same molecules so you may find this does not help.

If you get a reaction to coffee, best to avoid it
