I have read of people having lattes, so I assume they are ok.....but not sure since I don't drink them.

If you can have dairy, lattes are fine. I only know about Starbucks, but their lattes are fine, and the syrups are, too.

I used to run a small coffee shop, for several years in Las Vegas,NV called "Bussy's Espresso"

Yes, in general latte's should be gluten-free. Infact most places will only put exactly what you say you want in it, and most will allowyou to supply your own soy milk if you need it. You will have to check the brand of soy milk they use (if you need it) but there is another risk that you do need to be concerned with.

The Steaming wand for the (soy)milk (essentail to a decent late) is dipped in to the (soy)milk. It SHOULD be cleaned after every use, but you will want to double check that. Some shops reuse milk steaming pitchers between customers, so you will need to watch for that too.

MOST of the major flavorings are baiscly sugar (or sugar-sub) + a liquid supsension and do not have gluten in them, odviously you do have to check them. My shop used the Davinci line, which the entire line is gluten-free.

Coffee its self gluten-free so you only have to worry about what you have them add to it.

:D

I am new user adding to the comment about syrups. Not to be the person with the bad news, but carmel coloring is in every syrup at Starbucks (I worked there), it is also in all the Toroni Flavorings, syrup in general, and most of the pearl tea flavorings EVERYWHERE. Even if there is no carmel coloring, there are both artificial flavors and colorings that you really need to CALL about. Unless you have never reacted to it, I would NOT suggest experimentation at All.

I have been in denial about the my reactions to artificial colors, flavors, and carmel colorings for a long time. Sources I have read say that artificial colors and flavors are a mixed bag because half of them are made from a malt base. If you like stuff with these ingredients, you are best to just call the company on that stupid number on the back of the package and ask before you eat it. I know this sounds pretty extreme, but this has been the main source of my "hidden" reactions.

I ended up just getting a skim latte, which is fine. I like the taste of coffee, thank goodness. I do like the sugar free vanilla syrup in them though so I'll have to poke and pry about it next time I go... Thanks Julie

Starbucks corporate says their syrups are gluten-free. Not all carmel coloring, natural and artificial flavors have gluten. I do call companies or check here to see if anyone knows about a specific product, but in this case, Starbucks has verified that the syrup is gluten-free. The Frapps with chips are the only drinks there that have gluten.

It can be confusing sometimes ... the important thing is to check if you're not sure.

I work part time at Borders in the cafe. The one I work at uses Seattle's Best brands.

The coffee's are fine. The syrup's are ok, but I'm very leary of the sauces. They couldn't

give me a definite answer about the sauces.

They even sell gluten free fruit and nut bars. But nothing else in the cafe is safe for me to eat or drink.

Also, you don't have to have any sauces or syrups in your coffee.

Starbucks says theirs are okay, and the celiac that works at the one I go to agrees.

I have heard something about Seattle's Best though, I can't remember what though. Probably something along the lines of what you're saying.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
