I want a starbucks frappachino but have an allergy to milk - I'm ok with other dairy though. They say it contains cream, but don't say whether a Frappachino contains milk too...

No. Cream is thicker and richer, with more calories. It is a thicker form of milk, really. So they probably didn't add.

As someone who has had dairy egg and nut allergy for over 20 years the advice is leave it alone if you dont know. However I would be careful with dairy of all kinds. You say you are allergic to milk but ok with other dairy this is strange as all dairy products obviously contain milk. perhaps you have more of an intolerance to milk than an allergy.
The term allergy now refers to Type I Hypersensitivity and is characterised by excessive activation of mast cells and basophils by IgE, resulting in a systemic inflammatory response that can result in symptoms as benign as a runny nose, to life-threatening anaphylactic shock and death.
Starbucks generally do soya milk based substitutes if you ask them which can be acceptable in drinks. but if you dont know you should never take something you have an allergy to.

Starbucks, at least here in Oklahoma, has soy milk on site AND a dedicated mixer. Yes, cream is MILK, but you could see about adding soy milk instead.

If I was allergic to milk, then I'd avoid anything with cream. Cream is basically the part of milk that contains fat.

Any coffee drink in general can make you feel sick If it has a sugar percentage more than other drinks. You may also feel sick in your stomach if you have an Arizona Ice Tea, the really big cans. The sugar in those is more than you need for the whole day. Frappachinos aren't very sugar filled, but they can have that effect.

if you are allergic to milk, you are allergic to DAIRY, and I know for a fact that the creme based fraps have milk in them. The coffee based ones, I am not sure though (I think so, but not sure). Ask one of the baristas the next time you are there if it has milk in them.

If you are intollerant to milk then you can't have cream! Cream is just another version of milk, all comes from the cow!

Han ... Cream is a richer form of milk. They're both dairy products.

They call it "liquid proprietary flavoring" (which basically contains milk, sugar, flavorings, caramel coloring and other minor ingredients in specific amounts)
