Hi; yeah, their wheat free bread is actually rye bread. The amount of people who don't realise that wheat free doesn't necessarily mean gluten free is rather large - it doesn't surprise me that the people at pret don't know. They're so clueless in pret! I did notice that their label looks a lot like the cross grain symbol - obviously they didn't do their...

Sorry to hear about your wheat allergy Tazzie, but congratuations that you have an official diagnosis of what is wrong with you so you can stop it happening! I personally haven't had the tingling, but I can agree with you that it is common to read about that kind of thing on here. Seems perfectly normal to me. It might be too soon to tell, but does...

You're absolutely not alone. It was so difficult at first, and all I wanted was a big pizza! I was moody, depressed, happy, and sleepy all at once. However, it's been nearly a year for me now, and everything is fine. Except when I get absolutely glutened, all of the mood swings are virtually gone .

Hello, I was recently sent a list of gluten-free foods available at Pret-a-Manger, and I thought I'd post it on here as it may be useful to some of you. Especially concerning the soups, as whenever I ask, I just get stared at blankly! They are now doing a wheat-free sandwich, unfortunately it's not gluten-free, but it's a step in the right direction...

I expect they sell it at the Whole Foods Market on Kensington High Street. Well worth a visit anyway as they have tonnes of gluten-free foods - even fresh bread!

Hello. Turns out it isn't the syrup, it's the sugar topping! Plus the eggnog mix has gluten .

Right from the horses mouth: I'm so sad about the eggnog latte! "Thank you for contacting Starbucks Coffee Company regarding gluten-free products. None of our beverages, with the exception of our Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino, are made with ingredients that contain gluten. However, the vanilla sprinkles provided at the condiment bar for customer...

One more thing to add to this topic. I got sick, so I called the customer care line. ALL of the Christmas drinks have gluten (egg nog latte, gingerbread latte, creme brulee latte). It was my own stupid fault for not checking and assuming the gingerbread latte is ok because the rest of their syrups are fine....!

Hello. No, I know it's nowhere near Christmas! Though our (sometimes) gluten-free friends at Starbucks seem to think it is and have started selling their Christmas drinks. I wanted to warn you all to not get too excited.... Stupid me didn't bother asking about the Gingerbread Latte as all of the other syrups are fine. I got sick . I called...

Something else for you to add to your calls...!! In the UK, Starbucks already sell gluten free Belgian Chocolate Cake (as well as gluten free sandwiches, though they usually sell out within an hour of opening!) It's a lot like the brownies and every time I have seen it being served, the staff are using either a paper bag, or clean tongs. They're getting...

Hi Kerry. I've been gluten free since February this year, and yes, gluten is in EVERYTHING!!! (well, everything good anyway!). First of all, congratulations of the weight loss; even if you don't see it as visible, it's an amazing start and a fantastic achievement in such a short period of time . I'm not going to lie, going gluten-free is so hard...

Regarding the malt powder and chips: At Starbucks they will only put the frappucino blenders in the dishwasher at the end of the day, so everything is just rinsed with hot water throughout the day. So if they currently have malt or chip frappucinos on the menu, I guess there are no guarantees. You could ask them to run a blender pot through the dishwasher...

Hi everyone, I thought I would share some information I got from Starbucks about gluten in their products as I have been searching around and couldn't find anything. I thought I could offer some info to anyone looking! I was worries about the gluten content of their drinks as: - The mocha syrup (in mochas, hot chocolates, chocolate frappucinos...

I love this forum :)!! It's so good to have people who know what we're all going through, and aren't embarrassed to talk about the more unsavoury symptoms of being glutened! Dairy is a problem for me also - nowhere near as much as gluten, e.g. I don't get pain when I eat dairy. I decided to test it out one day and drink a load of milk (about 2 pints...
