So i walk into starbucks today and the first thing i see in that little case of treats is a gluten-free Brownie called the Aztec Ancho Chili Brownie (random!) It was in the case with the rest of the pastries - wasnt touching anything but i was still a little hesitant (and not hungry). Anyway, has anyone tried it? This was in Midtown NYC. Seems like a strange flavor and i dont know if it is any good, but i was thinking if Starbucks is carrying gluten free, it really has become mainstream...

Their peanut butter stacks are also supposed to be gluten-free, but I've never seen them.

You can always ask for one that's not contaminated ... they usually have more in the back in the original packaging.

My husband and I were just in Starbucks on Sunday. I looked in the case and around the front desk area to see if they had anything that was gluten-free. They didn't :(

To make matters worse, the pastries they did have looked so good--my husband got a black and white cookie, and I ate the Enjoy Life Bar I had in my purse <_<

Hmmm... We just got a brand new Starbucks in my town. I haven't been there yet because I'm pregnant and trying to avoid caffeine, but I wonder if they have that gluten free brownie. I may have to go check.

Angie,

They have herbal and de-caf teas there, too.

I don't drink coffee, so I always have tea.

I drink tea too, no coffee. My Starbucks at the hospital I work doesn't have anything gluten free in the food line...not yet...but there is always hope.

I'll definately look tomorrow. I have 4 Starbucks within a block of me at work (literally 1 on every corner of each block around my building). I'll report back :)

I checked it today and OMG just like Stefi said, a gluten free brownie at Starbucks. However it's in the same case as all the other baked goods with all their crumbs. They were sitting on a plate that was higher than everything else but it was still in to close proximity for me to risk trying it.

But I decided to call corporate and let them know that while I think it's great they have a gluten free brownie the fact that it's amongst all the other deserts poses a problem. I suggested that maybe they keep a few on display so people know they have them but if someone orders one, to have a clean box in the back that they actually take it from. The woman on the phone was very nice and receptive to my comments.

Jillian - that's awesome! And good for you for calling corporate - i thought about it but have been really busy and havent had a chance - i guess the more people that call the more likely they are to institute a policy about it. FYI, was at Woodbury Commons today and they had it at the starbucks there too...its everywhere!

Jillian, they probably had more in the back. All the baked goods come premade/boxed. Hubby has asked for things not in the case before and they've gotten them from the back for him.

I thought I read somewhere (a few months ago) that they were going to start carrying gluten-free products, but that they would be individually wrapped... Looks like that idea never happened!!

I'm going to check the Starbucks by me as well, and speak to a manager THERE, at least if they can't make a "coporate" decission, the individual Managers should be recptive, and take appropiace precausions.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
