Vote For Starbucks To Publish Gluten Free List/provide Gluten Free Food

Personally, I find it appalling that Starbucks refuses to publish a gluten free list.

But now they are taking ideas and letting people vote for them.

So go vote for a gluten free list and snacks!

Edited to add:

There are several suggestions for gluten-free foods, but since the reason they have said they don't publish a gluten free drink list is how frequently their ingredients change... I think we also need a current list of gluten free drinks. If they are worried about changing ingredients it just seems irresponsible not to provide that information in the means that is most accessible. I mean really, are we supposed to call everytime we go in to see if our favorite drink is still safe?

So vote for a gluten free list, not just food!

The link just takes one to a main page. When I clicked on "ideas" I didn't see anything that you were talking about.

Starbucks.... is ridiculous. They even serve teas (Tazo) of which some of the flavors have gluten in them. I asked for a plain green tea recently (I was in nowheresville, travelling or I would have gone somewhere else) and instead got a flavored tea... there was nothing on the tea tag which said which flavor, but I could easily smell it when I got it to the car.... after I specifically said it had to be a PLAIN flavor of tea because I cannot have wheat. )

If I must use them as a caffeine source I get plain self serve coffee and add my own cream and artificial sweetener.... I don't even want them touching my stuff.

The only snack I would trust from that sort of situation would be made off site and prepackaged, like if they started stocking Lara Bars, which I carry with me anyway.

Here is the idea I posted. You can do a search for gluten free and find several suggestions for gluten free food.

Yeah, I've been getting sick a lot lately and it always seems to be after Starbucks. That's why I hate not having a published list to check. Are the mocha's really safe? What about the latte's? What about the soymilk they use? How do we know if anything changes?

Does anyone else have issues after a trip to starbucks?

You bet. I don't drink their coffees, but for awhile I liked their little dried fruit-and-nut packages -- the ingredients seemed perfectly safe, and I never reacted.

The last time I was in Florida, I picked up two for the drive home to Virginia. When I ate the first one in the car, I noticed the dried cranberries in it seemed sweeter, somehow. The heartburn kicked in a couple of hours later -- it was a full glutening, not just a CC.

The next day (in the midst of exhaustion and brain fog), I looked at the ingredients list on the package I hadn't eaten and saw that "cranberry juice concentrate" was listed (I don't believe it had been on prior packages). There's likely no way to know for certain (Starbucks probably doesn't know or care), but I'm willing to bet that the "cranberry juice concentrate" contained gluten. My fault for not checking the ingredients before eating it, but I would have eaten it anyway, since "natural flavors" wasn't listed.

I actually called the Starbucks 800 number to ask about gluten. I was told that all latte's and other coffee drinks are gluten-free with the exception of the Mocha drinks.

I sent an email to SB not to long ago asking about gluten free items and a list. I also went back to their site and in my town they now provide a list of all items for allergies. If you dont have that option in your area, search under Temecula, CA or zip code 92590, check it out =)

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
