Starbucks Vanilla Bean Frapacchino

The Starbucks web site is worthless for those of us w/ celiac. Is the Starbucks Vanilla Bean Frapacchino gluten-free? Any web sites that confirm this? It is one of my favorites, but I fear it contains gluten. Please advise. I am new to all this.

Your gut is right. This one contains gluten as does the one with the chips in it. I did ask about the strawberry one, if it was modified from the vanilla bean and it is NOT. They each have their own mixure. So just avoid the vanilla bean and the one with the chips. :D

Thx for the response. I figured from the rumblings in my stomach after drinking one that it would be gluten-filled. Oh, well at least I can still eat Blue Bell vanilla ice cream.

Woot! There's always something else out there that can replace something that we can't eat. Positive thinking is a great thing to have!

Also, regarding startbucks your right the website sucks for allergen information. I always ask at my local starbucks and they let me read the labels to check for myself. So they are trying at least. :D

If you call Starbucks corporation they are knowledgeable. Don't quote me on this, as I have not talked to them in a while, but they do not consider the vanilla frap to be gluten free because the vanilla powder may be cross contaminated with gluten. This is also true for the vanilla powder in the shaker that you can add to your coffee. Also the malt frap chips contain barley, but many Starbucks don't use them anymore.

To my knowledge the caramel and mocha fraps are safe. I would ask to read the labels on the mixes. Or call them. :D

What about cross contamination from using the same blender for the gluten-rich frapuchinos?

I politely tell them I have food allergies to some of their products and ask if they wouldn't mind making my drink in a clean, sanitized vessel. They are always happy to oblige. Put 50 cents in their tip cup.

The answer I got the last time I called Starbucks was that we should not trust anything that has the "chips" in it. If you have them make the drinks with the liquid flavorings they should be fine but avoid the powdered or chip flavorings.

I tried to get the barista to rinse the spoon today before removing foam from my soy latte and it was as if I asked for all the money in the til. It kind of upsets me, as they have running water literally right beside the espresso machine, so it would have just taken a second or two....in the end she didn't do it. I'm trying to maintain some form of normalcy since getting my results six days ago and starbucks was supposed to be one of those things I could maintain. Oh well...guess I'll be saving five bucks a day.

According to Starbucks workers, anything with caramel is NOT gluten free.

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By cameo674 · Posted

      Still waiting to get into the doctor to discuss my test results and see if further testing like a biopsy is necessary. My appointment is in June 2025.  Yep it takes that long to get in to see the doc.     Anyway, I paid to have some functional health bloodwork done in December 2024.  I got the results just after Christmas. Because my middle child suffers from bloating and she asked if I ever considered that I might be gluten intolerant or have celiac disease, I added the celiac blood tests to the testing that I was having completed.  That child has panic attacks when a needle goes near her; so, I decided to do the testing to see if she needed to move forward with testing for herself.   My test results were: Deamidated Gliadin (IgA) - 53.8 U/mL; Deamidated Gliadin (IgG) - 250.0 U/mL; Tissue Transglutaminase (IgA) - 44.0 U/mL; Tissue Transglutaminase (IgG) - < 1.0; and Immunoglobulin A (IgA) - 274.0 U/dL. The first 3 are out of range and the 2nd two are in range.  That company does not offer the Cyrex array 3 & 4 so I could go in armed to my appointment with further information.  I have read the article that seems to be posted as a reply for most of the posts in this forum.   First of all, I never thought I had an issue with gluten, because I never associated flatulence or constipation with gluten. I know I am lactose intolerant.  As I have gotten older, I’m in my late 50’s, I have decreased my bread/pasta intake 4 or 5 years ago, because I have been trying to increase my protein intake which is hard for me to do since I don’t really like protein most the time.  My friend who is a nurse said that I should not go on a gluten free diet until a doctor decides whether or not I need a biopsy which may take a few months to get on a doctor’s schedule based on how long it will be just for my initial visit. So my question is this, wouldn’t the gastro doc, who did my colonoscopy when I turned 50 when I did not have a restricted gluten diet, have noticed that I had celiac if I had it? Or are there zero visible changes to the colon it’s self?   I did not have any polyps so no biopsies were preformed as a result of that preventative colonoscopy.

      Keep in mind that you might also have a dietary sensitivity to something else. Get into the habit of reading ingredients lists.

      I would avoid gluten at all cost. Sometimes there will be no noticeable damage, but it is still causing an autoimmune response that will manifest in some way or another eventually. Throwing up from a macaroon sounds like something other than celiac disease also.

      Thanks, Scott! I appreciate you looking that up for me. Perhaps that will be good enough for someone but not for me...super sensitive dermatitis herpetiformis here. I don't take any chances that I can avoid. ~Pam
