Celiac Disease Support Group

Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder of the digestive system that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals. It is characterised by damage or flattening to all or part of the villi lining the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients. This damage is caused by eating anything with gluten (gliadin), a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley...

Hi. Is Starbucks safe? I know I can have tea, but their holiday-flavored lattes and frappucinos, are they GF? I'm supposed to meet a friend at Starbucks over the holidays.

Hi teachermom! I went to Starbucks site, and there was no info listed, but they did give this:

Where can I find allergen information?
For specific questions related to allergens please contact a customer care representative at 1-800-23LATTE. Due to potential cross contamination during distribution and sale, we cannot guarantee that allergens are not included in a product, even if they are not listed in the ingredient statement.

I have ordered the mocha frappachino and the hot mocha and skinny lattes and been fine. The syrups should be fine, but they might let you read one to see. I think that the little candy bean on top of some is not okay.

Hope this helps - I'm going to call them Fri. afternoon and get more info myself!

Have a great weekend!

Hi again! I talked to a girl named Clara at the Starbucks phone line. She said two drinks that DO have gluten are the Vanilla Bean Cream Frappachino and the Double Choc. Choc. Chip Frappachino. She said the Vanilla Bean POWDER has gluten as well as the Choc. chips. The syrups are fine as are the other flavors of coffee.

Of course, if you call, you may get different info from a different person, but hopefully not!

Have fun!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
