Updated - Starbucks Information

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.

They use the syrup in the lattes.

Thanks for the info.

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.

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      That's interesting - that's a lot of gluten! I'll be very curious to see how my son responds to the gluten. In some ways, I guess having a strong reaction would tell us something? It's tough navigating this as a parent and having it be not so clear cut ;\

      Jersey Mike’s option: Gluten-free bread

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JamieAnn! Glad you had a good experience at your local Jersey Mike's. In the town I live in all we have is Subway and they stopped offering gluten free buns. So, I can't eat there anymore. Oh, more recently there has come to our town a Firehouse sub shop and, according to the Internet, they offer gluten free...

      Jersey Mike’s option: Gluten-free bread

      Today, in Uniontown, PA, I ordered Jersey Mike’s Italian sub on gluten-free bread (paid extra for gluten-free) for my brother who hasn’t had a sub in yrs (neorological prob if consumes). He’s so happy! Their gluten-free bread is from a company that specializes in gluten-free products, some of which I’ve enjoyed before, so figured a sub would be good! Jersey...

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      Most recent gluten challenge guidelines call for the consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in about 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for at least 2 weeks. When celiacs have been on gluten free diets for long periods of time, they often find that when they consume a good amount of gluten, they react much more strongly than they did...

So, I can't eat there anymore. Oh, more recently there has come to our town a Firehouse sub shop and, according to the Internet, they offer gluten free buns but I haven't tried them yet. For super sensitive celiacs, cross-contamination in handling at these sub shops may also be a problem.

They have lost all tolerance to the poison they had when consuming wheat products regularly. That is certainly the case with me. A couple of years ago I accidentally consumed a wheat biscuit my wife had made thinking it was a gluten free one and it made me violently ill. So, I mention that as I don't know if your son has started the gluten challenge yet.
