Our Starbucks has a gluten-free cookie and my brother says they're good. I haven't tried them but he bought me one. I can't find any information on them.

Interesting....I have been emailing them regularly asking them to carry some gluten-free items - and received no response. I'll have to swing by and see if our store is carrying them. Thanks for the heads up!

YAY!!!!! :ph34r::ph34r: and where would this Starbucks be??? :ph34r:

Seriously? Wow.

More info, please!!?? :)

Turtle Enthusiast

You're not kidding right??? What state are you in???

amybeth Enthusiast

Emailed Starbucks re: cookie -- got a standard form email in response encouraging me to contact "my" store. I guess they think people are loyal to one particular Starbucks and wouldn't dare enter one in another city or state........

Sorry, but I've tried and tried to get straight answers from them and they are just frustrating.

I've tried corporate and "my" store --- grrrrrrr.

Hopefully, one of us will find the mystery cookie, soon!

Yea, but when we find this legendary cookie, will it be in the case next to the regular ones? I can't wait to hear about someone finally finding one!! I'm glad that they are at least carrying roasted almonds now!

swittenauer Enthusiast

Wow! I would love to go to Starbucks & grab a cookie when I get some coffee. Sounds nice!

CarlaB:

I agree with you.....this is ONLY a wonderful thing if the gluten-free Cookie isn't being CC'd by the regular cookies....or CC'd on the line, etc.

If anyone ever gets through to Starbucks w/ more details please share...I'll look around too & try to help out.

At least we can still get the coffee.....THANK YOU LORD!!!

I heard about the gluten-free Starbucks treat (didn't know it was a cookie) but heard that it was placed in the case with the other food items. Maybe you could ask for one right out of the package, but I haven't found anything gluten-free at any Starbucks around me. I'm not a fan of the coffee, either.

I don't drink their coffee often b/c of the price and I like to make mine at home w/ gluten-free flavored creamer but it's a good back up plan if i'm ever on the road for work & need a "fix". HAHA!

Maybe the mystery cookie is actually the marshmellow square? That's the only thing that I can think of and I don't trust it anway. Major CC alarm!!

CarlaB Enthusiast

I asked at our Starbucks today and the manager said it was not available on the order form, but that different regions have different forms, so other regions may have them.

I just read on another forum about this mysterious gluten-free treat. Here is what they have to say :

The Starbucks in Charleston, SC are now selling a peanut butter gluten free whoppie pie! It is awesome. I still have not seen anything posted on their website about it though.

***********************************************************************************

I called Starbucks Corporate Public Relations and inquired about the peanut butter whoopie pies. A few days later the the same person called me back and told me that their whoopie pies were indeed gluten-free. The person advised me that the main ingredient in the cookie part was rice flour. This individual seem very knowledgable of gluten and said that they get a lot of inquires concerning gluten.

***********************************************************************************

Ok those are the highlights of the conversations...............anyways...it's a little more info than we had

We must have read that in the same place... I also just read that. And, felt happy for 2 seconds until I saw the words "Peanut Butter" -- and then I got upset. Since, it's a peanut butter whoopie pie. =( For someone who can't eat peanuts, gluten free or not... it "ain't no treat."

=(

Feelin' a bit let down.....

That does totally stink. I'm a peanutbutteraholic.......so it's good for me, bad for you :( Maybe if it is successful they will come out with some other varieties?!?!

I was told by Starbucks that the only item they have that is gluten-free is the Marshmallow Squares (rice krispie treats). Has anyone gotten sick from eating this item?

I was excited that they had macaroons a few weeks ago, but called and found out there was wheat in them. Macaroons are a traditional Jewish Passover food and they never have wheat in them! HOw obnoxious and unnecessary to add wheat to a product that really needs nothing to coconut, sugar and egg whites! Bah.

I am glad some of you all have access to a gluten-free "whoopie pie" (whatever that is!) ... I hope they start having them in my area, too. I try not to eat too much processed food but sometimes I just want to feel normal and buy a pastry to go with my coffee!

There is a good chance the marshmallow squares have malt in them, and if they are indeed made with Rice Crispies, they are not gluten free. Most commercial puffed "rice cripsy" cereals have malt.

edited to add.... Woops, i see that's already been addressed.....

hineini Enthusiast

They're not made with Rice Krispies, that's why they call them "Marshmellow Squares"....

In that case, you would have to know what kind of cereal they use to know for sure.

RE: marshmallow treats made outside your home

Unless the person making them used gluten-free rice krisp cereal, you should question them. Most commercial cereal has the barley malt in them and that's not gluten-free.

RE: Whoopie Pies

Whoopie Pies - a baked treat found in Amish areas. Two flattish round chocolate cake layers (4" diameter about) with a fluffy white boiled frosting inside (think Devil Dog, which is not gluten-free). If the cake is gluten-free and the filling is gluten-free then it's an OK treat to eat. I'm sure they can be made at home using gluten-free ingredients.

hineini Enthusiast

Well, all I know is that I asked Starbucks (called their CS line) and they confirmed that marshmellow squares are gluten-free. It's up the individual to trust them or not. I seriously doubt they're made in a gluten-free facility, and would have doubts in general about information provided by Starbucks after hearing a number of stories here from people who found their products had hidden gluten ingredients.

I had a marshmellow square from S'bux the other day and it didn't make me sick, but I haven't been confirmed Celiac so I'm certainly no one to use as a gauge!

And mmm... Whoopie pies sound tasty, I hope the gluten-free ones make their way out here to CA!

I just wanted to let anyone in the metro Atlanta area know that I found the gluten-free peanut butter whoopie pies at the Starbucks at Peachtree and 7th in Midtown Atlanta, right across the street from the shiny new Spire high-rise condo building. The cashier checked with the manager who verified they are gluten-free (there was no tag on it in the display case).

It's pretty tasty, though quite sweet, so I only ate half of it in one sitting.

      Could you not try to cut oil out and use a alternative method ? Is there really any health benefits for oil ? If it has caused do much did discomfort for your little one I'd be inclined to source a different way my granddaughter has a nut allergy it's been a roller coaster ride but we cut whatever was causing issues out and found a alternative and she's been fine 🤗

      I too have blood tests booked a Wilson and was told it's ok that I've been gluten free since for over 6 months they have also put  me in for a fecal test for calprotein and a milk allergy has I had to  stop lactose too and a IBS blood test I didn't even know you could test for IBS ? I'm going Tuesday but since reading on here I'm thinking now why bother I've been suffering for that long has I can remember I've reached out to docters since I was in my 20s im now Immy 50s was told IBS and health aniexty was my problem what prompted me to go back again this time was the long list of problems I've also had which they also know about but never said any were connected I've had bad bouts that put me in bed for days I cut carbs out years ago and saw a difference but uneducated just thout see it must be a better way of eating didn't realise it was actually showing me to cut gluten out I've been back and forth to docters that much they have put me down has I have health aniexty causing it in a nut shell it's in my head yet over the years I've had sickness medication scans over my kidneys my liver my tummy for the pain flu like symptoms were put down to my bad rhinitis hair shredding was put down to stress vitamin d deficiency put down to food my 3 herniated discs degenerative and slight sclorocis believe it or not was my posture achy legs syndrome and bad blood circulation to my low mobility threw my back I can go on and on what they tryed to tell me I got that bad i realised it's maybe more than IBS and yes I do suffer aniexty but the way they have made me feel like it's all in my head is time to stop because cutting out gluten and lactose had been the best thing I have done I only went back because I was a little worried after struggling for so long if I had damaged my bowel i just hoped I would get help threw tests sorry for long post but you are not alone with the worry of the test results but if you know yourself then you be your docter and help yourself too but always push for help if   you have abdominal pain it could be other things too it took me 15 years to get a MRI for my back you can imagine my thouts Wen I got my results that it wasn't just my posture had I'd been told even unable to walk was my fault lol  so if you are struggling seek out help anyway you can and be consistent till you get answers 🤗

      Hello @A Wilson, Glad you found us.   There is your answer.  The results from the tests are just more data to the puzzle.
    • Wheatwacked
      Hi @Woodster991, You do need to see a health professional to make sure it is not appendicitis.  Rebound tenderness, fever.   Is it gluten?  Yes.  It is also serious vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Either by Celiac Disease malabsortion, food avoidance or just not getting enough.  Consider significantly increasing your intake of vitamin D, B1, Choline, Iodine, B2, B3, B5, B12.  The vitamin D test, (25(OH)D, is simple and accurate. Whole Milk yogurt and berries to populate your gut with benificial bacteria.  I drink Red Bull for energy.  Eat food low in omega 6 fatty acids. The ideal ratio is less than 3 omega 6 to 1 omega 3.  For some, the Modern American Diet is estimated to be more than 14:1.  Very inflammatory.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1. Whether Celiac Disease (1% of the population) or Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population) would take blood tests and endoscopy. It is either that, or you have managed to contract 6 or 7 different diseases at the same time. You don't need a doctor's permission to not eat gluten anymore than you would to eat Chinese food.
