Dunkin Donuts Charges For Bread

I have recently received the news that I have Celiac Disease. I am learning day by day what to eat. I happened to order a bacon,egg and cheese (with no bread) at Dunkin Donuts and they still charge me for a whole sandwich. How can they charge full price for less food? I know that I am new to the gluten free world but this doesn't feel right.

That's normal. They sell a sandwich not an omlette.  But the more concerning fact is that a Celiac is trying to eat at a Dunkin' Donuts.

Your better off not eating there....I bet more then 50% chance that what you got was grilled on a contaminated surface, with contaminated flipper and hte guy did not even change gloves between fixing yours and fixing the guys on the bread....you get gluten CC from residue and crumbs even that will flare up your disease....gluten is a protein smaller then a germ like blood.....and your immune system with celiac treats it like a foreign invader like a germ/bacteria and goes on the attack. Please read the newbie 101 section. AND avoid eating out, it is honestly Russian roulette with your health. Eat whole foods mostly starting off and remove dairy and oats for a few months til you heal some. https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101/
PS do not fret about loss of foods alot of times it is just changing brands and cooking in your own house over eating out, meal prep in your free time so you just have to reheat stuff. Soups, stews, omelettes, stir fry, baked/roasted/slow cooked meats are go tos for most of us.

Agree with EVERYTHING..everyone else has said..RESEARCH is your friend..check all labels...This is a serious disease with serious consequences if you are not totally gluten-fee..yes...We have to give up alot..but your health is worth it..Try also to eat naturally gluten-free..a lot of the gluten-free products are full of sugar..GOODLUCK!

I don't know if you have Starbuck's near you but they have a gluten free egg sandwich that is not too bad. They follow good protocol when heating it up.  It comes wrapped and is heated up fully wrapped to avoid cc. Yes, I know they are more expensive but you will have to get used to that if you want "fast food" that is safe for a Celiac.  I wouldn't even buy coffee at Dunkins'.  It is not the same as it was when I was a kid anyway......they use to have great coffee years ago and then they changed it.  It is not the same.

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Jenn D · Posted

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!

      A "gluten challenge" of two weeks would be the bare minimum for expecting to render valid testing, and that would have been paired with eating a minimum of 10 g of gluten each day (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread). And with the three gluten free days in the midst of that two week gluten challenge I would not have confidence in the results of the testing. Was there a blood test done for IGA deficiency? Can you post the test names that were done with the scores and with the reference ranges used by the lab? By the way, with celiac disease the issue is not being able to digest gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder defined by the fact that ingestion of gluten triggers an immune system response that attacks the membrane that lines the small bowel. The immune system mistakenly identifies the protein gluten as a biologic invader.

      Hey all!! M i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice - I am a single mother of 4 (now 3) and was helping with my oldest leaving the nest. I have another child with medical issues and with work (it’s our end year), life has been crazy and I haven’t had the time to answer.    so we got a blood test done for my daughter that can’t digest gluten. She had been eating gluten for 2 weeks. The blood work came back normal? How is that possible. I see her with my own eyes and it’s not normal. Is that not long enough?  I am thinking about having her eat gluten another week then go to the hospital and see what they say.    She did have 3 gluten-free days in those 2 weeks but she was getting afraid to eat and I told her to may take a day off - was this a bad thing to do? Girl was having constant back pains and muscle soreness as well. Headaches/migraines…should I wait longer. I did see 4-6 weeks of Gluten consumption prior to testing… kind of at a loss now.    Thanks to everyone for whatever advice you can give.   Enjoy your Sunday 😃👋👋
