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 =)

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
