Does anyone know if the syrups used in Starbucks are gluten free? Something 'got' me the other day & I'm trying to work out what it was.

Yes & no. Helpful, ain't I?

Go to the restaurant topic and you will see 2 recent ( a few days ago) Starbucks discussions. You should read them and decide how you feel about Starbucks.

I know that the Classic Syrup is gluten-free. Your best bet with Starbucks is to call them and ask about the items you are wondering about.

I always get vanilla latte and I have never had a problem (or white mocha) :rolleyes:

I called Starbucks a while back because I had heard something about gluten in one of their drinks. They said the base for (macchiatto?), may or may not be safe, they cannot exactly source every ingredient to make sure it is not cross contaminated. They said it should be the customer's decision whether or not to have any blended drink if they are concerned about food allergies/intolerances. Personally, I drink their hot and iced coffee and stay away from blended drinks, since even if they clean the blenders, there is still a risk that something is left on it. And honestly, their blended drinks have hundreds to thousands of calories and ridiculous amounts of sugar depending on size, so best to stay away from them anyway. A bunch of Starbucks in the Boston area have started carrying packages of gluten-free cookies and such, which is nice of them.

As far as the blenders, I stay away just like I would not drink anything made in a smoothie shop because you just never know...

oh, oops, I should have said this at the beginning, I'm pretty sure the syrup is gluten-free, but don't use them or any other sugar in my coffee. If not sure, I would ask them to look at the ingredients on the bottle. They're usually pretty good about that.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
