Starbucks Update 7/18/08

I just got off the phone with Starbucks (1-800-235-2883) to ask about the protein powder in their new Vivanno smoothies and the very nice gentleman who helped me said that the only drinks that are not gluten free are the one's containing the malted milk chips (ie drinks like the chocolaty chip frap) and vanilla bean powder (ie drinks like the vanilla bean frap). Can anyone confirm this and does anyone have a list of which drinks contain these ingredients? To my knowledge it's only two or three drinks but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

That's what I was told before, and basically stay away from the frapps altogether because of the cc risk. Also, their egg nog contains some wheat, so it's not safe. All the syrups are safe though.

I was also told the same thing, but I have not contacted them since December. I too worry about cross contamination with blended drinks. Occasionally if it is not busy I will ask for them to use a clean pitcher and we'll order the strawberries and cream blended cream frap. or the blended lemonade. They are usually very nice about it. I just make sure that I tip. :)

I called regarding the hazelnut frap and was told it was gluten free.

It is gluten-free, but you risk cc because they blend all the frapps in the same blenders and not all the frapps are gluten-free.

      I haven’t been diagnosed formally. My doctor always called it eczema but over the years I have figured out it isn’t.  I’ll do some research on iodine. Thanks for that info.

      I would not think abstaining from commercially processed food would have any effect on dermatitis herpetiformis. What can help with dermatitis herpetiformis is reducing iodine in your diet and, of course, you must completely abstain from gluten.  Many who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis cannot find relief until they get on a med called Dapsone. It seems to be pretty effective but stresses the liver. So, anyone taking it must have their liver enzymes monitored regularly. By the way, celiac disease is the only know cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. Has your rash been officially diagnosed as dermatitis herpetiformis? It can be a challenge to find a dermatologist who knows how to properly biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis when seeking a diagnosis.

      I was eating gluten at the time it was done. I do not eat commercially processed food and we make it all from scratch so I wonder if that might cause an issue.

      When you had the blood draw done for the antibody testing, had you already been practicing a gluten free diet? If so, that would also sabotage the results of the tTG-IGA.

      The rash on my hands is the little blisters or  dermatitisherpetiformi you are referencing. They itch like crazy and no doctor has ever been able to get them to go away. When I remove gluten from my diet they go away. I decided to do the test for that reason. It’s really my only symptom but my sister has celiac disease and the same hand rash. her doctor recommended I get tested.
