Is this really true? I"ve looked at all the ingredient bottles/containers at Starbucks (well not all, but many!) and everything had gluten.....

i was there witha friend last week and asked. i don't know where you would see a container for these, but they are gluten-and-casein free, with the ol' ass covering comment about the same facility as other products with these ingredients. i did not have one, and nor would i, however, this is what they told me.

oh wow, I asked to see the containers at three different Starbucks.....they pulled things out of the refrigerators, so I read them myself and found "wheat derivatives" or "may contain wheat" on almost every label. :( I think there ARE some things we can drink, just haven't tried it yet.....

I e-mailed Starbucks a few weeks ago to ask them which of their products are gluten free. They responded by telling me that ALL Starbucks beverages are gluten free with the EXCEPTION of Frappucinos that contain Java Chips, Vanilla Powder, and/or Malt Powder.

I would assume, therefore, that the Tangerine Juice Blend Frappucion is gluten free too. If you want to double-check there phone # is: 1-800-23-Latte.

I am not sure Starbucks knows what they're talking about, just go in and ask to read the labels yourself, because I did and everything I saw contained wheat derivatives.....I think some people in business actually just look at the labels/ingredients on things, and if it doesn't SAY gluten, then oh, they think it doesn't HAVE gluten.....I am going to call them!

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
