Starbucks?

Hey everyone. Is Starbucks a safe place to purchase a cup of coffee? I know I shouldn't try for the blended beverages, but as far as plan and simple black coffee or plain iced coffee, would it be safe? I do like cream and sugar in my coffee.. As long as its not flavored, it would be safe right..? I'm new to this and there is a starbucks right by my work that I used to enjoy on occasion.

 

Do yall think it would be okay? Or would you say not because of the risk of cross contamination? I know that they probably don't clean their blenders after each use, but common sense tells me that plain brewed coffee should be fine. But what do I know....I was only diagnosed 2 weeks ago so I am still learning. Thanks in advance!

I'm not a fan of the flavor syrups, but most are gluten-free. You have to read the labels. I get lattes and iced coffees at Starbucks, often.

Yes! Go to Starbucks and enjoy your coffee-- with cream and sugar:). Plain coffee is fine.

I have their Awake Tea lattes several times a week-- I order mine without sweetener because I prefer it that way. Their classic syrup is gluten-free.

I often order plain black coffee.  Sounds really good right now! :P

I drink Starbucks plain coffee, lattes, and iced coffees (no simple syrup).

I add my sweetener using sugar packets, use their milk on the counter if I order black.

      I had an endoscopy where there was no visible damage but biopsies showed damage. I even asked beforehand if the endoscope had good enough magnification to see the villi!  I hope you get a clear answer from the biopsies.

      I have an endoscopy booked for mid-September to test for Celiac. My gp seems convinced it is celiac and I should eliminate gluten right away, but the gastroenterologist I was referred to says if I'm totally gluten-free then they won't be able to detect celiac from the endoscopy, and I should load up on gluten 2 weeks before the test. So I guess I shouldn't eliminate gluten then? Or stop and start again closer to the appointment date. But I'm also on the wait list in case they can get me in sooner, because I'm losing weight. I don't want to have to go back and do it over again if I can help it. They also were unsure if there isn't something else wrong with my stomach, so that's a possibility. I don't have the details but from what I understood my blood tests results were positive but on the low end. So I'm getting mixed up here, do I go gluten-free or not? Would 2.5 months of being gluten-free make any noticable difference?

      Being low in B12, Folate B9, ferritin, zinc and copper sounds consistent with anemia which can often occur with Celiac.  What did your doctor recommend? What about your Vitamin D?  It helps regulate the immune system.

      @knitty kitty thank you I am exploring these options, I really appreciate all the suggestions and info. I am only slightly below the normal range for folate, zinc and copper. And in the low end of the normal range for B12, ferritin, and vitamin A. I’m good for carotene magnesium and iron, but I’ve been taking 400 mg magnesium daily

      I just had my endoscopy the other day and the doctor took 12 samples because he said if we're going to find something we're going to find it today LOL. But when he got down there, he said everything looked good. So I have it in my head again that it's going to be negative because everyone I've heard of who had a positive biopsy had their endoscopies where the doctor was like yep, I can see the damage. My tissues all look great apparently. So if they come back negative, I'm not sure where to go from here. Could it still be a non-celiac gluten sensitivity even with my blood work? I thought NCGS didn't show up on blood tests. Is it possible that the biopsy still comes back positive even if everything looked healthy on endoscope? I had it done at a big hospital in the state, so I would think they'd have the kind of equipment where they'd be able to see it well. I even have pictures in my report and they don't seem to have the damage that others have seen.
