Hi,

I've heard that most of Starbucks drinks are gluten free. But, I was wondering if there new (at least I think its new) drink, the banana coconut frappuchino, is gluten free?

Please let me know. Thanks!

you would have to call on that one... they dont have a list or anything and i think it is too new for anyone to know...unless someone else has already called. sounds yummy though! i would worry that they probably use toasted coconut flakes and those could contain gluten but who knows

They do put frosted coconut flakes on the top, but it would be easy enough to leave them off.

They offered me a sample of it last time I was there, but I hadn't read the ingredients. The banana syrup is thick like the strawberry syrup is. The strawberry is gluten free, so I would guess the banana is, but I'm going to read the ingredients when I give it a try to be sure.

The frappes with the chips are usually the ones that are not gluten free of their usual drinks.

Ok, well I went ahead and e-mailed them today. I'll post to this topic when I get a response.

I have not yet received an e-mail from Starbucks so I decided to call their customer service number today. They said that usually the only frappuccinos that are not gluten free are the ones that contain chips. However, since the banana coconut frappuccino is a new drink they have not determined whether or not it is gluten free. In about a week, they will have all of the nutritional information on this drink but in the meantime they recommend that people with Celiac Disease avoid it.

So, I will probably contact them again in a week or so to see if they have any updated information.

They've been really good about letting me read ingredients in Starbucks. If you're comfortable determining on your own, I'm sure they'll get all the packaging and let you read the ingredients. It sure would be easier though if they could just tell us!

Ok, so I just wanted to let everyone know that I contacted Starbucks again today and they finally have all of the information regarding this drink. The banana coconut frappucino is gluten free.

Thank you! I've been waiting to hear back from you! I read the ingredients, but there were "natural flavors." I wonder what took them so long! Hopefully the drink won't be discontinued before we get a chance to get one!! (note sarcastic tone ...) I think it's their annual summer special.

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      By trents · Posted

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?
