Recently, someone had posted on the board that Starbucks products containing "mocha" were not gluten free. I decided to contact the company to find out exactly which drinks were gluten free and which ones were not gluten free.

The products that are NOT gluten free are only the Frappucinos that contain Java Chips, Vanilla Powder, and/or Malt Powder.

All of the drinks that I specifically asked about are gluten free and that includes:

Vanilla Mocha Latte (I'm assuming this does not contain Vanilla Powder then since they said it is gluten-free?)

Hot Chocolate

Chantico

Banana Coconut Frappucino

Thank you very much for this information - I actually went in and asked if the White chocolate mocha was ok before, after suspecting it had made me ill, and they even showed me the boxes, which were definitely ok. I didnt realsie I was taking a perfectly safe drink and spirnkling harmful vanilla powder over it afterwards :rolleyes: . Feel very stupid now... :ph34r: Thanks for clearing that up though, I'll remember that for next time.

Is the syrup safe then? My Gluten Guard says it might not be.

Yes, it's in a lot of their drinks, including the mocha, the carmel macchiato, vanilla latte, etc., so if it had gluten, they would have said so... I'm sure I checked it out before I used it but I don't remember ... there is a lifelong celiac who works at my Starbucks and she's never corrected me on it and one day she thought she overheard me order a cookie (I didn't) and she came over to tell me not to.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
