Dunkin' Donuts Coffee...

Hi everyone! I am fairly new to this and still in the ongoing testing stage, but have been gluten free for a week now with some pretty big changes (long history of health issues - never thought they could be Celiac!).

Anyway, I have read that Dunkin' Donuts coffee is okay...I love their coffee and as a busy mom, buying a cup of DD coffee on the go is one of those small pleasures I look forward to! I have read past posts here that say their coffee is okay, but I also am learning that cross contamination is really common. It's hard to imagine that if I go into a Dunkin' Donuts (or even do drive thru), that I can be sure the server hasn't been handling flour and things like that.

What are your experiences with this? Thanks in advance!

I personally didnt have any issues with their coffee and around where i live they are very accomadating with washing their hands prior if you tell them you have an "allergy." on the website they do say all of their drinks are gluten free so i can even enjoy my latte.

I agree, I had the same worries about anything coming from Dunkin' Donuts considering how much flour has to be flying around that place! However, I've not had any problems with their coffee. I switched to DD from Starbucks a while ago because of cost. But haven't had any cc problems. Of course each one could be different, depending on the manager and who's working there. But since they make the claim on their website I feel like at least they're trying. And like I said, so far no problems.

I am someone who would choose to make my coffe at home and just bring it with me.

I want to address a more important issue. If you are still in the testing process for celiac you really should not be gluten free yet. You need to be on gluten for the tests to have any chance of being correct. If you have finished with blood and biopsy then go ahead and do a trial.

No problems with coffee from Dunkin Donuts or any other coffee shop.

Thanks guys! I had a small (black) coffee from DD today and it seemed fine - phew! I don't particularly like to drink it black but right now dairy doesn't agree with me

:(

Maybe I'll get used to carrying around a gluten free non dairy creamer :)

has anyone tried dunkin donuts pumpkin lattes? everything looks ok to me but was curious to see if anyone has tried it yet.

i looked up ingredients on their site and this is what they have:

Milk, Brewed Espresso Coffee, Pumpkin Spice Syrup [skim Milk, Sugar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Water, Brown Sugar, Caramel Color, Natural and Artificial Flavor, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Salt].

they also have a table that lists all the big allergens and marks it if it's in the product.

"Natural and artificial flavors" are always questionable. Remember, those can be barley-derived and since barley's not a Big 8 allergen it doesn't have to be disclosed. Contact the company.

I m questioning if my cold brew with cream and sugar is indeed gluten free. The last few times I have had it I get itchy and gassy. Any thoughts?

Caramel color can also be from gluten.

Ask Dunkin "Corporate" how that cold brew is made. It is very possible that they are using a coffee extract, processed on cross-contaminated equipment. (Folger's instant says this up front; Nestle uses dedicated equipment and says they can't have that problem.) It is also possible, if you are very sensitive and they have a lot of flour dust in the store, that you are being affected by flour dust either in the store, or that has settled out into the brew.

Bottom line, if it hurts you? "Don't do that." and it won't hurt you. 7-11 makes better coffee anyway.(G)

My uncle was a chef, and cold brew is the easiest thing to do at home and then you know it is gluten-free. The left over coffee in a glass jar with either cream or one of those gluten-free lactose free creamers by Delight and chill it overnight. Also that same Delight creamer can be frozen with no preparation, in a paper cup for gluten-free lactose free ice cream it was very very good, not just sort of good, and I used the caramel. I will make it again there is nothing to this. Also a 2 ingredient brownie with no grains at all, small jar of Nutella heated and added to 4 eggs that are whipped for 10 minutes, really whip those whole eggs, fold in Nutella and bake for 35 minutes in parchment lined baking dish at 350 again easy and a please make it a second time recipe!  Stay in your wonderful plan folks!

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is a category of study summaries on the relationship of Type 1 diabetes and celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/diabetes-and-celiac-disease/ This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Bloodwork still postive after 18 months

      By RMJ · Posted

      How frustrating! The Endomysium antibody result is usually given as a titer, 1:5, or 1:10, or 1:20.  This indicates how far the serum can be diluted and still give a positive result. It could be going down but the way they show the results you can’t tell. If you click on the “view trends” button on an electronic version of the results does it show any additional information?

      Catholic Mass for Celiacs

      By misslemon · Posted

      Hi, I'm hoping to get some advice on how to handle Mass as a new Catholic.  I'm looking to take the Mass for the first time in March.  I've been told that the church has a "low gluten" option that is 0.01% gluten.  Is this safe, especially to do every week?   I also read that taking the wine instead could be more of a problem if it gets contaminated with regular crumbs.   I found this information online:  "The Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in Clyde, Missouri, have developed a Communion host that is extremely low in gluten. The host is made from gelatinized wheat starch. The Sisters report the hosts test to a level of 0.01% gluten. At that level, the lowest that could be tested, no gluten was detected. This means that there is less than 0.01% gluten in one of these hosts. The Secretariat for the Liturgy of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has stated that these hosts meet the requirements of the Code of Canon Law (924 §2) and may be validly used at the celebration of the Eucharist with permission of the person's pastor. The Catholic with celiac disease can now fully participate in Holy Communion with the whole parish family. Catholic celiacs may choose to receive consecrated wine at a regular communion station if their parish offers communion under both species. There is greater risk for contamination using this option. The fraction rite may allow small, yet dangerous crumbs to be in the cup." Thank you for any guidance!

      Bloodwork still postive after 18 months

      By Jenn D · Posted

      My son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease is April 2023. His ttg antibody was over 100 at the time of diagnosis. Now it is at 3 (which is considered negative), but his endomysium antibody iga is still coming up positive. There is no specific number just positive or negative so I'm not sure if he's getting better or not. I'm getting nervous that something else is going on and I was just looking for some advice or an understanding what this "postive" actually means. He gets tested every 6 months. Thank you so much for any responses😊 Attached is a picture of his bloodwork from August 2024
