    Starbucks Debuts Gluten-Free Cupcakes in Florida!

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Bunnie Cakes will provide their locally made, gluten-free, and vegan passionfruit cupcakes to select Starbucks stores in Florida.

    Celiac.com 11/06/2017 - Gluten-free Starbucks patrons in South Florida just got a nice piece of news. Starbucks is now offering a new, gluten-free cupcake to select South Florida locations. Oh, and the cupcake also happens to be vegan.

    To deliver their newest gluten-free offering, Starbucks has partnered with Miami-based bakery, Bunnie Cakes, who will provide their locally made, gluten-free, and vegan passionfruit cupcakes to select Starbucks stores in the area.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Bunnie Cakes has been a labor of love since owner, Mariana Cortez, first began making gluten-free and treats for two of her children, who have celiac disease.

    The small, nearly bite-sized cupcakes have been called 'cute,' but they have gained a popular following among gluten-free eaters, and are regarded by many as "one of the best cupcakes in Miami," Starbucks wrote in a press release.

    Bunnie Cakes' products have also attracted a bit of national attention, such as being named as a winner on Food Network's Cupcake Wars.

    If you live in South Florida, or if you find yourself visiting, and happen find yourself enjoying Bunnie Cakes gluten-free cupcakes, either at Starbucks, or at the bakery itself, we encourage you to share your experience in our comments section.

    Before making the minimal effort to offer gluten-free food options, Starbucks needs to remove gluten from their coffee products, specifically contained in the cocoa used.

    I would not buy anything from Starbucks! Their values are NOT my values and I have decided to take a stand in my old age.

    Congratulations to Mariana! Wonderful to see Starbucks trying again - their last experiment with providing gluten-free options was short lived and incomplete. Perhaps this time it will last.

    It would be good if the manufacturers of gluten-free products could find a substitute for yeast and egg as these are gluten cross-reactors. Those responsible for the creation of "modern wheat" through hybridization created a "monster" of allergic and immunological food reactions/responses. Society must move away from wheat, barley and rye consumption as these grains destroy good health.

    Fad or Not, Gluten-free Foods Making Big Impact on Consumers
    Celiac.com 02/03/2016 - Gluten-free foods are more popular than ever, higher in quality, and increasingly seen as worth premium prices paid by consumers, according to a new research report by Mintel.
    The report shows that, despite widespread skepticism of gluten-free diets, more people are consuming gluten-free foods than ever before; with an increasingly positive attitude toward such foods.
    Mintel's latest numbers show that 25 percent of consumers surveyed report that they consume gluten-free foods regularly, a whopping 67 percent increase from 2013.
    At the same time, the report also suggests that nearly 50 percent of consumers surveyed feel that the explosion of gluten-free foods is basically a fad, compared with just 31 percent in 2013.
    Mintel's report also shows that the...

    Starbucks Has a New Gluten-free Breakfast Sandwich! Or Do They?
    Celiac.com 03/24/2017 - Does it meet the FDA standard for a gluten-free product? Is it safe for people with celiac disease?
    Starbucks' new Gluten-Free Breakfast Sandwich looks yummy. But, why does Starbucks' website feature a disclaimer saying the company cannot guarantee the absence of allergens, including wheat?
    The sandwich itself is pretty standard fare, consisting of two slices of cherrywood-smoked Canadian bacon, an egg patty and reduced-fat white cheddar on a gluten-free roll.
    The company website uses boldface type to tout the "gluten-free"-ness of the new offering, noting that the sandwich uses a "gluten-free roll," is "prepared in a certified gluten-free environment," and sealed "in its own oven-safe parchment bag to avoid any cross-contamination." Sounds good, so far...

    Is Gluten-free Still a Smart Bet for Food Retailers?
    Celiac.com 05/09/2017 - For years, industry observers, health experts and even food companies have questioned the staying power of gluten-free food.
    With more people than ever embracing gluten-free products and gluten-free diets, including a majority of folks who do not have celiac disease, gluten-free food has never been more popular. There have also never been more gluten-free products hitting store shelves.
    Couple that with the fact that U.S. sales of gluten-free products are projected to exceed $2 billion by 2019, and the market for gluten-free products looks as solid as ever.
    But, do hidden caveats await potential investors, especially on the retail end? Maybe.
    There's a great article over at Fooddive.com about the challenges of succeeding in the gluten-free grocery business...

      Being a burden to family/friends

      Ultimately you have to be responsible for your own health, regardless of how it might affect others, and this is especially true if you have both celiac disease and a severe nut allergy. Eating out is the most common source of gluten contamination, even in restaurants that have gluten-free menus. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean...

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      It looks like you had a positive blood test for celiac disease, so the next step could be an endoscopy to confirm celiac disease. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      I am also asymptomatic. Not everyone with celiac disease reacts the same way to the same amount of gluten, so it is impossible to say for you whether or not such small traces of gluten would be safe. I am tested for tTG-IgA and DGP IgA and IgG annually. My DGP IgA went up once when I was using a certain brand of supposedly gluten free flour, it went...

      Being a burden to family/friends

      Let me "ditto" Cristiana's welcome to the forum, @DayaInTheSun! Many in this online family can identify with your struggle. With all of your food sensitivity/intolerance issues you probably should research MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) and consider a low histamine diet.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      Most recent guidelines recommend at least 10g of gluten daily for at least 2 weeks daily leading up to the day of the test. 10g of gluten is roughly the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. Personally, to be sure you will produce valid test results I would extend the "gluten trial" period from two weeks to four weeks.
