Ran out this am to surprise my non-gluten-free fiance' with some donuts and oj...(he was thrilled) Go there often to get baskin robbins pistachio almond ice cream (yum!), but decided since it was am I would just get a regular coffee.

Was careful about touching donut bag, etc. washed hands, and didn't even take the lid off of my coffee....but had a BAD reaction. <_<

Can't think of anything else it would be. Has anyone else had a problem before?

Dinner night before was gluten-free pizza from Jules Thin Crust -- and hadn't eaten anything else...........

Thanks!

Sorry that you had a reaction to DD. I like to have an occasional iced coffee in the summer and have never had a problem. I even contacted them regarding their lattes, and they are gluten-free, which was nice to hear.

Coffee in and of itself doesn't bother you, does it? Sometimes it irritates my stomach for no reason sometimes, a great diuretic :ph34r:

No offense, but getting ANYTHING from DD is playing with fire, and sooner or later your gonna get burned. All that flour flying around in the air has to land some place... maybe on the stack of lids, maybe on the cups... maybe in the coffee grounds... maybe in/on the bags... maybe not. I would suggest you stay away from a place like that, but I know no one ever listens to that kind of advice :D

ive never had a problem with DD, but sometimes coffee itself will bother me if its too strong, also the cream/milk can get ur intestines going if you have problems with lactose.

I can see the risk of CC there, but most of the ones I go to have lids on the coffee pots. The thing i would be more concered about is the outside of the cup where the employee are handling the all the donuts then handling the cups. They are Supposed to use those tissue things while handling the donuts, but who knows.

Id rather go to starbucks, at least there 'goodies' are in a glass casing and they dont do any baking or heating there.

I drink their tea pretty often and never have a problem.

And actually they don't really make any of the donuts at most locations. My cousin owns a bunch of them. Usually a bunch of DD in a geographic area are owned by 1 person (or persons) and there is one store that makes the donuts for all the locations they own. The only thing that happens in the store is baking them off and adding the chocolate frosting and sprinkles kinda stuff. There really isn't any flying flour there.

Let me put it this way... CC risk at a DD is about as high as it gets, its fast food level service with a very large quantity of high gluten products... I would not bring my son there thats for sure! I am sure ppl go there and get away with it... and if that level of risk is okay with you, thats your call, but I will always advise against it.

I see exactly what your saying, but I also think about the fact that I am always around places, ie my workplace kitchen, even home ( i have non celiacs living there too), where there are large quantities of gluten. There is a toaster that sits right next to out coffee maker at work. As careful as I am every single day of CC, I have to live my life....i cant be scared of Gluten, just cautious.

Not asying you should, I just choose to remove completely unneeded high risk, such as DD. I refuse to live in fear, but I also refuse to take what I see as uneeded excess risk. I do not drive my SUV at 150 MPH, even though I am sure it can go that fast because I see that as a stupid level of risk, granted DD is not quite that level, but it illustrates the point. I still drive, and have plenty of speeding tickets, so its not like I am living in fear of risk, just have a cut off level that puts DD out of the game. :)

You know what the moral of the story is here?

ALWAYS GO FOR THE ICE CREAM :P

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By trents · Posted

      @Marie70, it is very important that your daughter not begin experimenting with eating gluten free until all testing for celiac disease is complete. Doing so will invalidate the testing. Normally, the testing involves two stages. The first stage is blood antibody testing as per the article linked by Scott above. As you can see from the article, there are a number of tests that can be ordered when diagnosing celiac disease but most physicians will not order a complete panel. At the very minimum, your daughter should request two antibody tests, "total IGA" and "tTG-IGA". The tTG-IGA is considered the centerpiece of celiac disease testing but if total IGA is low (i.e., if she is IGA deficient), this will result in an artificially low tTG-IGA score and possibly a false negative. Many general practitioners are not very knowledgeable about celiac disease testing so we have found we have to be a little assertive in order to get proper testing done. I don't know under the relational circumstances how much input you will have with your daughter about these things but I thought I'd pass the info on to you anyway. The second stage of celiac disease testing involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining which is then sent to a lab for microscopic analysis. This checks for damage to the small bowel lining and is confirmation if any of the blood antibody tests are positive. It is also considered to be the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Again, should her antibody testing be positive, your daughter would still need to be consuming gluten until after the endoscopy/biopsy is complete.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By Klsdurbin · Posted

      No!!! Celiacs disease does not go away. You can’t outgrow it, and if all proper diagnostic procedures (blood test and endoscopy) were followed when you were 8, it’s almost impossible to be mis-diagnosed.    stoms and reactions to gluten do change over time, but the fact you have celiacs does not.    I think that a lot of people misunderstand that the goal to managing your celiacs is to eventually test negative for celiacs. This does not mean it went away, it means that your gluten-free diet is working and you’re no longer producing the anti-bodies that will wreak havoc on your health.    if you can access the medical records from when you were 8 and have a GI doctor review them, I would highly recommend you do this.

      Gluten Free Daily Vitamins for Kids w/ Celiac

      By Klsdurbin · Posted

      Inovera offers a supplement called Forvia that they claim is formulated for better absorption for those with GI issues including Celiacs Disease.    I would love to hear if anyone has tried it and thinks it might be good.

      By cristiana · Posted

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

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

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.
