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!

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ? I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet. Rebound muscle pain so intense ...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
