Starbuck's Dulce De Leche

does anyone know if the dulce de leche syrup at starbucks is gluten-free? I've tried calling and looking up online but can't get through. I heard a rumor that it had wheat starch in it. Also, does anyone know if that is in the Cinnamon Dolce Latte? I've been having one of those once a week since they came out, so now I"m freaking out that I might have been glutening myself this whole time!

I just talked to Starbucks corp. They said the only gluten containing drinks they had were the following "add ins": malt for frappaccino, vanilla bean powder, java chip, egg nog flavor.

I asked if their tazo teas in the summer were gluten free b/c I thought I remembered one was not. But this rep said they were all fine.

And I asked about the brownie we have all been hearing about. She said it is being test marketed and is only available in the NY area.

Next time you are in just ask to read the bottle of syrup. I think the label of ingredients is on there. I usually get a chai so I am not as informed about the syrups.

Ah thanks! I've been looking for it here in Jersey--that's why I've not seen it.

I'm almost certain the syrup doesn't have gluten (none of the others do), but you can read at the store to find out. I can't remember what they put on top of the whipped cream on that ... perhaps that has gluten? I thought it was carmel drizzle, which is gluten-free.

The Cinnamon Dolce is fine.

The real egg nog they have at Christmas is fine, so is the nutmeg they use on top. I'm not familiar with the egg nog flavoring, or what it's used for.

Thanks for the replies - I asked the server yesterday when I was at Starbucks if the cinnamon dolce had that syrup in it and she said no, so I was relieved and didn't bother looking at the syrup bottle, since I will just stay away from that anyway. I don't need another bad addiction! ;)

Each flavor latte has a flavored syrup. All the syrups have basically the same ingredients ... the cinnamon dolce, has a cinnamon dolce syrup ... the vanilla, a vanilla syrup ... and the dulce de leche has the dulce de leche syrup.

That's why I'd be surprised if one syrup had gluten when all the others do not.

And, you New Yorkers, create a demand for gluten-free desserts!!

Yep, Tazo has a great website that states which ones are not gluten-free. I think it is www.tazo.com.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
