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.

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
