Starbucks

So i walk into starbucks today and the first thing i see in that little case of treats is a gluten-free Brownie called the Aztec Ancho Chili Brownie (random!) It was in the case with the rest of the pastries - wasnt touching anything but i was still a little hesitant (and not hungry). Anyway, has anyone tried it? This was in Midtown NYC. Seems like a strange flavor and i dont know if it is any good, but i was thinking if Starbucks is carrying gluten free, it really has become mainstream...

Their peanut butter stacks are also supposed to be gluten-free, but I've never seen them.

You can always ask for one that's not contaminated ... they usually have more in the back in the original packaging.

My husband and I were just in Starbucks on Sunday. I looked in the case and around the front desk area to see if they had anything that was gluten-free. They didn't :(

To make matters worse, the pastries they did have looked so good--my husband got a black and white cookie, and I ate the Enjoy Life Bar I had in my purse <_<

Hmmm... We just got a brand new Starbucks in my town. I haven't been there yet because I'm pregnant and trying to avoid caffeine, but I wonder if they have that gluten free brownie. I may have to go check.

Angie,

They have herbal and de-caf teas there, too.

I don't drink coffee, so I always have tea.

I drink tea too, no coffee. My Starbucks at the hospital I work doesn't have anything gluten free in the food line...not yet...but there is always hope.

I'll definately look tomorrow. I have 4 Starbucks within a block of me at work (literally 1 on every corner of each block around my building). I'll report back :)

I checked it today and OMG just like Stefi said, a gluten free brownie at Starbucks. However it's in the same case as all the other baked goods with all their crumbs. They were sitting on a plate that was higher than everything else but it was still in to close proximity for me to risk trying it.

But I decided to call corporate and let them know that while I think it's great they have a gluten free brownie the fact that it's amongst all the other deserts poses a problem. I suggested that maybe they keep a few on display so people know they have them but if someone orders one, to have a clean box in the back that they actually take it from. The woman on the phone was very nice and receptive to my comments.

Jillian - that's awesome! And good for you for calling corporate - i thought about it but have been really busy and havent had a chance - i guess the more people that call the more likely they are to institute a policy about it. FYI, was at Woodbury Commons today and they had it at the starbucks there too...its everywhere!

Jillian, they probably had more in the back. All the baked goods come premade/boxed. Hubby has asked for things not in the case before and they've gotten them from the back for him.

I thought I read somewhere (a few months ago) that they were going to start carrying gluten-free products, but that they would be individually wrapped... Looks like that idea never happened!!

I'm going to check the Starbucks by me as well, and speak to a manager THERE, at least if they can't make a "coporate" decission, the individual Managers should be recptive, and take appropiace precausions.

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      Thank you. Yes I was referring to total iga - it came back as <0.15 I've also had the deamidated gliadin peptide IgA and IgG both of which were indeterminate on 2 tests. Third test the IgG was <1. I'm having the biopsy in two days. Pretty much anything I eat apart from vegetables makes me quite sick now.

      An early incubation and inoculation

      When unprotected by hookworms I strongly associate any gluten exposure with wanting to pass out, wanting to throw up/actually throwing up, and total bowel evacuation, but I'm actually seeing my doctor in an hour or so, so I'll put the endoscopy question to him. What other blood tests do you recommend?

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      Hi Guys, How are u? I am still in the middle of "the storm" and recently i did repeated endoscopy but for some reason it was partially ok and partially not(due to bad handling with tissue samples). So some of the doctors suggest to repeat gastroscopy...and some do not.... Did anyone repeated gastroscopy due to bad taking of the histology tissue samples...

      You say "Consumption of gluten continues to have no effect," but when was your last endoscopy/biopsy? Without doing a regular biopsy, there is no way for you to be sure that eating gluten has no effect on your health.

      New here, and came for answers to this.  I was diagnosed in the Summer of 2007, at the same time two of my kids also tested positive. Actual doctor, actual tests. Have lived as clean as possible for 17 years, with the inevitable accidents (and symptoms and recovery), none recent, thankfully.  I have accepted that I am celiac and have lived accordingly – as have my now-grown kids. Last week, along with loads of other tests, my primary ordered a Celiac Disease Antibody panel and I just saw the results.  The summary stated "no antibodies detected," although my IgA total was quite high at 425.  The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA was less than <1.0.  My question is whether antibodies would be found in my body after all this time living gluten-free? To be clear, if I get gluten and do NOT know it, I will get sick later no matter what. So any psychological element is right out of it; I get nailed every time if there's gluten in my food. Later, we will trace everything and find it.  Small wonder I work so hard to keep gluten out of my diet. I am a senior citizen, and watch my health very carefully.  But now this test seems to indicate I don't have celiac disease... or do I?  LIke the title says, the test says no, but my body says yes and has for 17 years. Any thoughts on what's going on?  Happy to answer question. Thank you.

      Is it gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      @Woodster991, were you eating lots of daily gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood test for celiac disease? If not, then your results could be false negative. Many of your symptoms are identical to mine before I was diagnosed, with the exception of constipation. 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. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Is it gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
