Gas Station Cappuccino

Does anyone know if the cappuccinos you get from the machines at the gas station are gluten-free? I know 2 coffee brands at gas stations are Red Beret Roasters and Millstone by Folgers but I don't know if those companies also do the cappuccino. I love those things but have been too afraid to have one since going gluten-free.

Thanks!

Don't rely on my word alone... but I believe they are. I use the mix at home and also buy them in gas stations. The mix I use at home is definitely gluten-free. I have never had a reaction to the gas station one, so until proven otherwise, I enjoy one every now and then.

Just wanted to update anyone who is interested: I had the French Vanilla gas station cappuccino and did NOT have a reaction... take it for what it's worth. :)

I would like to have the french vanilla from Sheetz again so bad, that it's not funny anymore. I just don't know, if this contains any gluten.

Yesterday I went to Kwik Trip and really wanted cappuccino so I asked the person working there if I could read the box that the mix came in, she printed out the ing. list for me and I looked it over (I'd list it but I left it in my car) and there are a few things in it that gluten free diet won't allow you to have. I suggest that you ask at the gas station of your choice to see the list of ing. before drinking it cuz as we all know just because we don't have a reaction to it doesn't mean it's gluten free and I don't think cappuccino is worth cancer.

I don't see anything on this list that would be a problem unless a person has issues with soy or dairy in addition to the gluten. It does appear to be gluten free.

Most of the ones I've seen contain gluten in the chocolate powder but we can't have them because of the milk anyway.

Here in the U.S. if the chocolate powder contained gluten, it would have to be declared.

That said, there are an awful lot of chemicals in the ingredients for that cappuccino Punkin mentioned.

*Some* of us may not be able to have them because of the milk, but not *all* of us. Not all of us are lactose intolerant. I am not and there are others who are also not. There is nothing in that list of ingredients that a celiac could not have unless he/she has other intolerances on top of gluten.

We are not lactose intolerant we are vegan. However my point was that the ones *I* have seen contain gluten in the chocolate powder. I'm sorry if that offended anyone :/

I apologise! There is so much discussion on here about lactose intolerance that I assumed (and I think we all know what that does! :) ) when you said no milk that you were referring to that. Still, my point is the same that a gluten free diet simply means gluten free. If you have other things that you are avoiding for other reasons, they are not necessarily universally applied to everyone who is gluten free. I am currently intolerant of eggs, but that is seperate from being gluten free and I would not automatically assume that eggs are a no-no for all on gluten free diets. I was primarly responding to the person who posted the ingredient list who said something to the effect of 'there are things on this list that WE cannot have on a GLUTEN FREE diet' (emphasis mine) and I wanted to point out that there were no gluten ingredients on the list, not that there may or may not be things that certain individuals on gluten free diets could not have in addition to the gluten containing ingredients. And that was also not to say that *all* gas station beverages were safe, but just to refer to that specific ingredient list. I would strongly suspect that the chocolate powders used *would* contain gluten and each person would need to check the ingredients for the specific product in consideration. Some probably are safe, but I would suspect many are not. Just looks like the one listed would have been, should there not have been additional considerations besides gluten...

My point was simply that if it contained any gluten it would be in the chocolate powder. I will stay out of this now. It's being misinterpreted and I don't feel like explaining the same thing over and over again.

      What might this EMA result mean?

      By RMJ · Posted

      g/L, a weight per volume unit, would be a very unusual unit for a celiac specific (EMA) test.   1.24 g/L would be in the normal range if this was a TOTAL IgA test. Best to ask the doctor.

      Searching for good MD/PCP in Portland ME Area

      By Lieke · Posted

      Hi Hi! I am looking for a PCP in the Portland ME area. I have been dealing with Celiac disease for 30 years. My specialist Celiac MD is in Boston, but I want somebody closer by. Am thinking of an MD working in functional medicine/integrative medicine who is willing to ‘walk the journey’ with me. Despite a strict gluten-free diet, I still have challenges, am ‘super sensitive celiac’ with at time cross contact issues when going out to dinner.  any suggestions?  much appreciated! lieke

      Food Tasting Salty

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Part of the body's immune reaction to gluten is to release histamine.  This tastes salty, just like tears and snot.

      Eye irritation 2.5 months into gluten free diet

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I've had dry eye symptoms.  The eye drops did not help me.  What did help was making sure I was consuming Omega Three fats like flax seed oil and olive oil, and taking essential B vitamins, especially Riboflavin, Thiamin, and Vitamin C, as well as Vitamin A, one of the fat soluble vitamins.   Newly diagnosed Celiac can have trouble absorbing fats and absorbing B vitamins.  Most gluten free processed foods contain saturated fats which the body can't utilize. Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like gluten containing products.  The eyes make a film of healthy omega three fats which keeps the eyes lubricated.  Insufficient omega threes can show up as dry eyes.  Most newly diagnosed Celiac are low in Vitamin D, as well as Vitamin A, both fat based vitamins.   Thiamin Vitamin B 1 and Riboflavin B 2 are needed for eye health and optic nerve health.  Taking a B Complex vitamin supplement is beneficial.  Since the B vitamins are water soluble, any excess that the body doesn't need is excreted easily in urine.  The gluten free diet is low in essential B vitamins because gluten free processed foods that replace gluteny breads are not required to have vitamins and minerals added to them in order to replace vitamins and minerals lost in processing as is required with gluten containing products.   Other things that are helpful is to refrain from using highly perfumed products (hair care, body washes, deodorants, room fresheners, cleaning products, etc.).  These can dry out the eyes, too.   Staring at computer screens can be detrimental because you STARE and don't blink.  The tear ducts that keep the eyes lubricated are in the corners of the eyes.  Take breaks from staring at the computer screen.  Look out of the corners of your eyes to the right and blink several times, then look to the left and blink to help the tears spread over the whole eye.   My eyes have sustained permanent damage because of nutritional deficiencies.  My ophthalmologist and my doctors did not connect any of my health problems with nutritional deficiencies which occurred with undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  My optic nerve shuts down and I lose my vision if I spend too much time looking at computer screens, led lights, and TV.  My vision goes gray and dim.  It's much worse than "optic snow".  It can take  hours or days for my vision to return.  My ophthalmologist said my vision might not come back from that sometime.  My ophthalmologist said the flash rate, refresh rate, is registered by the optic nerve which gets over stimulated and shuts down.  The optic nerve uses lots of Thiamine.  Thiamine insufficiency will cause permanent optic nerve damage unless corrected promptly.  My thiamine insufficiency/deficiency was not corrected promptly and I have this permanent damage and light sensitivity.  I take Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine that also is beneficial for healing the intestinal tract.  Riboflavin,  Pyridoxine B 6,  and Vitamin A are also needed for eye health.   Thiamine insufficiency can also cause anxiety.  Thiamine and magnesium will relieve muscle cramps. Talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals while your intestines are recovering.  Hope this helps!

      Reflux related cough anyone?

      By cristiana · Posted

      UPDATE I've been asked for an update by someone who sent a PM, but It's best to post health info publicly because this means fellow Mods can make sure I'm staying on the straight and narrow path with any advice I'm giving out! Alex...   Yes, my symptoms did slowly improve.  They started around October, from memory.  Approaching Christmas I remember the feeling as if there were feathers irritating my chest in my lower throat and in my lungs, and things like scented candles made things even worse.  I had a endoscopy and they found nothing wrong, I also had a chest X-Ray because of the cough which lasted more than six weeks and nothing showed. In the end I think the end it settled because I was doing the following: following a reflux/gastritis diet  (you can find lots of these diets on line, which focus on a low fat, low acidndiet, avoiding spices etc, avoiding alcohol and coffee etc) not eating three hours before I went to bed, which means going to bed with an empty stomach sleeping with a wedge pillow, which I still do, five years on... taking Gaviscon Advanced before bedtime, and after meals (not much, just a large teaspoon) using a blue Salbutamol inhaler, I think it was two puffs in the morning and two puffs at night. I felt a lot better after about three or four months.  I then only used the inhaler and Gaviscon when I had to, if I started to feel my chest was getting irritated again. I find keeping on top of reflux symptoms the way forward.  My gastroenterologist told me that the cough was to do with reflux/gasses in the gut coming up that can irritate the throat and airways and the fact I noticed improvement when using Gaviscon showed that that was what was causing it, because it provides a barrier that stops this happening. From the Gaviscon UK website: "It creates a protective barrier or raft over the Stomach contents (which is mostly acid, but also pepsin and bile)." https://www.gaviscon.co.uk/#:~:text=It creates a protective barrier,water and other neutral substances. This protective barrier stopped the contents of my stomach from coming up to irritate my throat, as I understand it, and allowed any irritation in my throat to settle. I do still take Gaviscon if I eat a late meal but not every day.  I hope this helps.  Do come back to me on this thread if I can help further. Cristiana
