WAH.... I work at Starbucks and have not heard of this cookie.... We are getting jipped. My manager is so sincere and cool about my allergy I will seriously push this cookie thing.. If it s out there she will find it for me. I live in Va. The pastries have been very hard for me .The smell of the donuts and the espresso brownie seriously is torture.... Starbucks has awesome pastries!

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.

I believe the Starbucks in Woodstock, GA- where they had the cookie- doesn't have it anymore. My brothers friend works there and told us about it but I guess sales weren't good.

I always assumed these were unsafe, but in a recent thread some people were saying these were ok while others where saying they don't think they're ok.

I used to love these and would be so happy if I could get one with my tea again. Does anyone know for sure whether these are safe?

I contacted Starbucks and received an e-mail stating that the, "Marshmallow Squares DO contain Gluten."

Boo hoo, but that was my guess ... we'll just have to bring our own ... that's what I usually do, bring my own treat to have with my coffee ... they don't care.

Except for it is a whoopie pie if I understand correctly not a marshmallow square.......you might want to ask them about the whoopie pie and see what the results are for that.

I believe Starbucks has local bakeries make all its products from mixes they supply. This is certainly how it's done in my area, as my dh used to work in the bakery that made the stuff. This is a great bakery, much of its own range is organic, makes delicious bread and pastries etc - if you can eat wheat - but I think there is zero comprehension of or concern for cross contamination there. There is no way on earth we could allow our children with celiac to eat anything from there, regardless of whether it was supposed to be gluten free or not.

I really doubt that x-contam is on the radar in any average bakery. Flour is everywhere - on people's aprons, in the air - you open a sack of flour in a room and pouf! - immediately everything is contaminated.

Unless Starbucks is producing something specifically designed to be gluten free, and they can show that it is produced under conditions that make that possible - rather than in the bakeries that make the rest of their stuff - I personally wouldn't eat it.

Some of the Milwaukee area Starbucks are carrying a chocolate peanut butter whoopie pie. I asked a manager about it, and she knew nothing about the product. She referred me to their website nutritional information page. All it listed was the standard calories, fat grams, etc. It was over 400 calories, by the way. Even if it were gluten free, it is a pretty fattening snack. I agree that cc in a bakery probably would be a problem, unless someone else was making it for them.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      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...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

      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.
