Our Starbucks has a gluten-free cookie and my brother says they're good. I haven't tried them but he bought me one. I can't find any information on them.

Interesting....I have been emailing them regularly asking them to carry some gluten-free items - and received no response. I'll have to swing by and see if our store is carrying them. Thanks for the heads up!

Emailed Starbucks re: cookie -- got a standard form email in response encouraging me to contact "my" store. I guess they think people are loyal to one particular Starbucks and wouldn't dare enter one in another city or state........

Sorry, but I've tried and tried to get straight answers from them and they are just frustrating.

I've tried corporate and "my" store --- grrrrrrr.

Hopefully, one of us will find the mystery cookie, soon!

Yea, but when we find this legendary cookie, will it be in the case next to the regular ones? I can't wait to hear about someone finally finding one!! I'm glad that they are at least carrying roasted almonds now!

I agree with you.....this is ONLY a wonderful thing if the gluten-free Cookie isn't being CC'd by the regular cookies....or CC'd on the line, etc.

If anyone ever gets through to Starbucks w/ more details please share...I'll look around too & try to help out.

At least we can still get the coffee.....THANK YOU LORD!!!

I heard about the gluten-free Starbucks treat (didn't know it was a cookie) but heard that it was placed in the case with the other food items. Maybe you could ask for one right out of the package, but I haven't found anything gluten-free at any Starbucks around me. I'm not a fan of the coffee, either.

I don't drink their coffee often b/c of the price and I like to make mine at home w/ gluten-free flavored creamer but it's a good back up plan if i'm ever on the road for work & need a "fix". HAHA!

Maybe the mystery cookie is actually the marshmellow square? That's the only thing that I can think of and I don't trust it anway. Major CC alarm!!

I asked at our Starbucks today and the manager said it was not available on the order form, but that different regions have different forms, so other regions may have them.

I just read on another forum about this mysterious gluten-free treat. Here is what they have to say :

The Starbucks in Charleston, SC are now selling a peanut butter gluten free whoppie pie! It is awesome. I still have not seen anything posted on their website about it though.

***********************************************************************************

I called Starbucks Corporate Public Relations and inquired about the peanut butter whoopie pies. A few days later the the same person called me back and told me that their whoopie pies were indeed gluten-free. The person advised me that the main ingredient in the cookie part was rice flour. This individual seem very knowledgable of gluten and said that they get a lot of inquires concerning gluten.

***********************************************************************************

Ok those are the highlights of the conversations...............anyways...it's a little more info than we had

We must have read that in the same place... I also just read that. And, felt happy for 2 seconds until I saw the words "Peanut Butter" -- and then I got upset. Since, it's a peanut butter whoopie pie. =( For someone who can't eat peanuts, gluten free or not... it "ain't no treat."

=(

Feelin' a bit let down.....

That does totally stink. I'm a peanutbutteraholic.......so it's good for me, bad for you :( Maybe if it is successful they will come out with some other varieties?!?!

I was told by Starbucks that the only item they have that is gluten-free is the Marshmallow Squares (rice krispie treats). Has anyone gotten sick from eating this item?

I was excited that they had macaroons a few weeks ago, but called and found out there was wheat in them. Macaroons are a traditional Jewish Passover food and they never have wheat in them! HOw obnoxious and unnecessary to add wheat to a product that really needs nothing to coconut, sugar and egg whites! Bah.

I am glad some of you all have access to a gluten-free "whoopie pie" (whatever that is!) ... I hope they start having them in my area, too. I try not to eat too much processed food but sometimes I just want to feel normal and buy a pastry to go with my coffee!

There is a good chance the marshmallow squares have malt in them, and if they are indeed made with Rice Crispies, they are not gluten free. Most commercial puffed "rice cripsy" cereals have malt.

They're not made with Rice Krispies, that's why they call them "Marshmellow Squares"....

In that case, you would have to know what kind of cereal they use to know for sure.

RE: marshmallow treats made outside your home

Unless the person making them used gluten-free rice krisp cereal, you should question them. Most commercial cereal has the barley malt in them and that's not gluten-free.

RE: Whoopie Pies

Whoopie Pies - a baked treat found in Amish areas. Two flattish round chocolate cake layers (4" diameter about) with a fluffy white boiled frosting inside (think Devil Dog, which is not gluten-free). If the cake is gluten-free and the filling is gluten-free then it's an OK treat to eat. I'm sure they can be made at home using gluten-free ingredients.

Well, all I know is that I asked Starbucks (called their CS line) and they confirmed that marshmellow squares are gluten-free. It's up the individual to trust them or not. I seriously doubt they're made in a gluten-free facility, and would have doubts in general about information provided by Starbucks after hearing a number of stories here from people who found their products had hidden gluten ingredients.

I had a marshmellow square from S'bux the other day and it didn't make me sick, but I haven't been confirmed Celiac so I'm certainly no one to use as a gauge!

And mmm... Whoopie pies sound tasty, I hope the gluten-free ones make their way out here to CA!

I just wanted to let anyone in the metro Atlanta area know that I found the gluten-free peanut butter whoopie pies at the Starbucks at Peachtree and 7th in Midtown Atlanta, right across the street from the shiny new Spire high-rise condo building. The cashier checked with the manager who verified they are gluten-free (there was no tag on it in the display case).

It's pretty tasty, though quite sweet, so I only ate half of it in one sitting.

      Ibuprofen

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
