Does anyone go to Starbucks/Dunkin/Caribou for coffee? 

 

I would imagine that the "safest" drink would be regular coffee, but that's SO boring, right?

 

What about like a skim milk coffee latte with no syrups or flavoring?

I go to Starbucks all the time and get a latte.  Most of the syrups are gluten-free.  They will let you read the ingredients on them.

I read somewhere - either here or on the Starbucks sight - that mixes are not guaranteed gluten free.  I know there was some controversy last fall about the pumpkin spice lattes not being vegan.  Evidently, it made a lot of vegans angry.  I'll try to find the article later.  I looked up teas as I switched to drinking tea at Starbucks and found that they are gluten free except for four of them.  Naturally, I was drinking one that was not gluten-free.  I'll try to find that article, also.

I was never a big coffee drinker prior to diagnosis but now I stay away from caffeine in general - even my teas I drink are caffeine free.[i really don't need any help from the caffeine with my GI issues being as they are].

 

Hopefully others can help you figure out what is safe but always read the ingredient list and inform the barista of your gluten free needs.

I get coffee and lattes at Starbucks and DD all the time - however, I stopped getting the vanilla syrup at sbux because I read the ingredients and found gluten in there. However, this was a while ago and they may have changed the brand or formula.

There is an extreme chance of cc in any starbucks drink, from what I've heard. Both from people online and from asking people who work there. 

 

That being said, do you guys know of anything at starbucks that has a higher chance of other drinks of being gluten free? Coffee and hot chocolate are made on shared equipment. Anything else that I'm missing?

There are  very few coffee ingredients add-ins at Starbucks that have gluten.    Coffees, expressos, etc should all be safe.  They will let you read the ingredients, if you want a flavoring but most are gluten-free.

I purchase coffee and espresso at many different Starbucks locations along with other coffee shops -- until I developed other intolerances I drank Carmel Macchiatos as a treat once per week...they are gluten free -- yum :)

 

Coffee is safe...as long as you check the ingredients of flavorings and syrups for gluten...Enjoy!

      Frustrated

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im not being heard by my previous doctor I had for 25 years. I switched in May of this year.I was half told of my celiac disease in 1994 and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.Im not.Was on tramadel from I think 2006 til 2023.In 2007 still gluten-free had blood test and showed other food allergies. I have been avoiding and reading labels so I don't get sick.Im 54 years old, my right eye feels as if pressure ( seeing eye specialist) saw dermatologist and had skin graph was told ulcers but since I was disregarded of my celiac disease and it was previous doctor who sent me to dermatologist, its now " undetermined ".I pushed for the first and second ANA panel and negative. I had my 5th colonoscopy July 9 this year and colon looks great, BECAUSE IM gluten-free for 31 YEARS.Waiting on biopsy.My only celiac proof on medical was 2014 that i physically have, i don't have original. How do I get my new doctor to understand the severity of pain Im dealing with, daily flare ups.Exhausted and allergic to everything. Menopause has intensified, i feel but then again I had my 3rd covid in March 2023 and I can't bounce back.Pain down left leg always in the bathroom when I barely eat.Its affecting my life and frustrated with doctors not knowing.To be far my new doctor is having me see two specialist but how do I get him to understand its my false negative celiac disease????

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
