The vast majority of coffee that is unflavored, is gluten-free. The flavored versions may or may not be so you would have to check with the manufacturer. I do not drink DD coffee...I'm a Starbuck's addict. However, I would be extremely careful when ordering in a DD shop and ask the server to change their gloves before getting your coffee. The CC in there is ridiculous and they generally hire people with little to no English skills....a bad combination for a Celiac.

I'm originally from New England and grew up on Dunkin Donuts coffee, and still prefer it to other brands. I have no problem with their unflavored coffee, and drink their Vanilla flavored coffee with no ill effects. It can be purchased in supermarkets.

I used to work in a Dunkin when I was in college. I agree strongly with what was posted above. If you are buying it from the store you'll need to check the bag but likely you'd be okay with the plain. (I'd buy that and grab your own flavorings to be safe.) I would not suggest you go to Dunkin and try to order coffee there if you are super sensitive.

You literally can't work there and not get stuff from the donuts all over everything including yourself. That means cross contamination is almost a given and as much as I love Dunkin I'd never do it knowing that, remembering how I would come home covered in the coatings from the donuts et all. It was almost as bad as deep fry grease and we didn't even make the donuts in our store. Just moving all that around inevitably gets you dirty with all the crumbs and toppings.

Even if a food worker made your coffee fresh, odds are just standing over it and making it until they cap it could gluten it and no, I'm not kidding.

Oh, I really miss Dunkin.

I went in to meet someone last month and I nearly fainted from the smell. I have had actual dreams about Dunkin donuts and Popeye Fried chicken where I am walking around feeling lost and very hungry but I seemingly can't even have a donut or a piece of fried chicken in my dream! It's maddening!

The hardest things to give up for me were Dunkin Donuts, Popeye Fried chicken, and my monthly Big Mac with FF. I'm not often tempted to cheat, but those are the three things I have the most trouble with.

      Welcome to the forum, @TerryinCO, Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Damage to the intestines like your doctor found affects the absorption of essential nutrients.  Supplementing with B Complex, Vitamin D, and minerals like magnesium help ensure you are absorbing vitamins your body needs to heal.  Weight loss is often seen in the malnutrition that accompanies Celiac Disease.  Weight loss, Barret's esophagus, and hypothyroidism are related to Thiamine Vitamin B1 insufficiency.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and other vitamins and minerals. Best wishes for your new journey with Celiac.  Keep us posted on your progress.

      Pancreatic elastase is a digestive enzyme that requires Thiamine Vitamin B 1 to be produced.  Thiamine is needed to make insulin, too.  Thiamine, Niacin B 3, and Pyridoxine B6 are needed to make digestive enzymes and turn carbohydrates, fats and proteins into energy for the body, and for repair and healing of the body.  The Gluten free diet can be low in the eight essential B vitamins.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Supplementing with the water soluble B vitamins can ensure you're absorbing sufficient amounts of B vitamins to keep the body healthy.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamin that helps heal the digestive tract.  Benfotiamine and Vitamin D help to reduce inflammation and calm immune responses, so if you are accidentally exposed, your autoimmune response might not be so bad. Supplementing with the B Complex vitamins is beneficial while healing.  Have you talked to a nutritionist?

      Welcome to the forum, @TerryinCO! Do you know what blood tests were ordered? Was it for like you would have done for an annual physical (CBC/CMP) or celiac disease specific antibody tests? I find it interesting that your GI doc did the endoscopy and biopsy before he/she ordered blood tests to check for celiac disease, assuming the blood tests ordered were indeed specific for celiac disease. Normally, the sequence is the other way around. Was the GI doc doing the endoscopy for some other reason in the first place? The endoscopy/biopsy is considered the gold standard for celiac diagnosis so I also find it interesting that the doc reflexively felt a need to order blood work as well.  Just a heads up in case the bloodwork ordered was not specific for celiac antibodies: Going on a gluten-free diet before the blood draw for celiac antibody testing is done will likely invalidate the testing. You probably know this already but hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's disease) is common in the celiac population and there is a statistical correlation. And then there is the weight loss. And I assume you have suffered with GERD for a long time and that is what led to the Barret's. All symptoms of celiac disease.

      ...so lotsa questions and unknowns for me.  Gastro Doc did an endoscopy and found villi damaged so Celiac is suspect/known.  Subsequent blood work done and am awaiting evaluation from  NP or Doc. I've started gluten free diet and that's going well.  I don't have any real symptoms but have lost ~ 10# over last year or so....180 down to 170 ( I'm about 6'0 and always been on the scrawny side).  I'm 76 and up to now have not  had Celiac/gluten issues, but do take hypothyroid meds, and diagnosed/treated for Barret's Esophigus. I'm exploring the site here - looks like a lot of info available.  Talk with you later. Make yourself a great day! Terry

      @EricaFilpi, please tell us more about your recovery...did you need to take iron infusions or supplements? What other supplements are you taking? I'll assume you've been gluten-free since August.
