Hi, I was in Borders today skimming through which new gluten-free book I wanted to buy and there was a warning in one of them that said to be careful since NOT all Soy Lattes are gluten-free. I KNOW starbucks is since I wrote to them (and have seen many posts regarding them) but I was wondering if anyone out there knows WHICH Soy brands contain Gluten? I was at "Seattles Best" today and was afraid to get a latte. There is also a cute new coffee shop newar my home and I am not sure if their lattes are gluten-free. I try to do a casein free diet as well since Ive always been lactose intolerant. Thanks!

Do you know what brand of soy milk Starbucks uses?

I work in a coffee shop, and we use Silk brand soy milk, which is gluten free. I'm going to guess that's what a bunch of coffee shops use, since it's readily available and a known brand. Obviously, it would be to your advantage to ask before ordering. ;)

Hope that helps! Now go have a latte! :D

I have been to Starbucks three times and the soy milk they use is Silk. I use this at home also. In my flower shop I have a small coffee bar. I stock Silk since it is what I like and lactose intolerant customers like it too.

Starbucks in both Illinois and Texas have switched to some sort of generic brand for soy milk. I suspect it's nationwide.

I have not been able to contact them to figure out if it is gluten free yet. I looked at the box and it has natural flavors, which can often mean barley in these kinds of "milks". The people working there were unable to tell me anything.

I ask every time I go in. I jetted to the nearby seattle's best and they used silk, so I got my drink there.

The only soy milk that I know is gluten-free is SILK. Sorry, not too helpful.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

      Gluten free vitamins

      I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice.  Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria.  It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium Citrate at the supermarket or drugstore ($3).  One or two ounces of it  in a glass of water.  Add ice and sugar if you like.  I like the Cherry or Grape best. Instead try: Cream of Rice, Cheese and Good Thins (rice crackers), scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Do you need Calcium supplement?  Calcium from supplements can cause hypercalcemia, a condition that can lead to serious health complications.  Vitamin D increases calcium absorption.  Monitor 25)(OH)D vitamin D plasma and  parathyroid hormone (PTH).

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.
