Starbucks Via Ready Brew Singles

Hello all!

Just a quick question for the board this morning :)

Does anyone know if the new Starbucks VIA Ready Brew singles are gluten-free? I know some instant coffee is not. The box says that it contains Arabic coffee - it does not list other ingredients. I tried a search of this website for Starbuck VIA but didn't have any luck. I though that since they are individually packaged they wouldn't really even run a risk of any kind of CC from any other item at Starbucks either. Just curious.

Thanks!

I've had it with no problems--it's just coffee and nothing else. Can't wait for the decaf version to come out.

I haven't had problems with the regular via, but I started drinking the flavored cinnamon spice via about a week ago and instantly broke out with terrible canker sores, emailed the company to find out what "natural flavors" are, and havent' heard back. I'm fairly new to gluten free, and it didn't even register with me until I'd suffered for a few days! Doh! I know "flavored coffee" is on the list of stuff to watch out for.

I have the lightly sweetened iced coffee and haven't had any issues. The ingrediants are only sugar and microground arabic coffee. Seems safe to me! :D

The regular Via coffees (decaf and regular) are both straight coffee and gluten free. I was nervous about the flavored Via packets, but after carefully reading the ingredient list, I finally tried the Caramel Flavor. It's delish and I had no problems with it. Hearing about the cinnamon flavor, I will probably just stick to having the caramel version, because I know it's safe!

I'm just now starting to research which Starbucks drinks are gluten-free (harder than I thought!!!) because I've been diagnosed with Celiac for a year and a half now, and I'm getting tired of always sticking to plain tea or coffee when I go out!

I've also heard that I should watch out for the soy milk option in Canada - has anyone had a problem with it?

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
