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!

      Dr. Reddy’s Sandoz sumatriptan gluten-free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I suggest you eliminate dairy from your son's diet next.  Cow's milk protein, Casein, can trigger tTg IgA antibody production, the same as gluten, because casein contains segments of proteins that resemble gluten protein segments.   Mucosal reactivity to cow's milk protein in coeliac disease https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/ I cannot consume dairy products.  Some people find they can tolerate A2 dairy without a reaction. Corn is another frequently hard to tolerate food because the protein zein in corn also resembles the protein structure of gluten.   Do research in Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and TTFD thiamine.  Taking TTFD really can make a dramatic difference, speaking from personal experience. https://hormonesmatter.com/energy-deficiency-asd/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      Bowel issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're doing everything right with your gluten-free diet, yet still experiencing significant discomfort, which must be frustrating. Since your stool sample came back normal but symptoms persist, pushing for further investigation—like a colonoscopy or biopsy—is a reasonable next step. You might also want to discuss the possibility of additional conditions, such as IBS, microscopic colitis, or other inflammatory issues, with your doctor. Tracking your symptoms, diet, and triggers in detail could help identify patterns. Don’t hesitate to advocate for yourself—if your current doctor isn’t addressing your concerns, seeking a second opinion or a referral to a gastroenterologist could be beneficial. You’re right to seek answers, and I hope you find relief soon. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Bowel issues

      By marbeg · Posted

      Hi all, I was diagnosed with coeliac in August 2020. This was via a blood test, as it was during COVID, so I’ve never had a biopsy or colonoscopy or anything like that.    I have been following a gluten-free diet since and would expect to feel much better, however, I am still experiencing issues with my bowels. Very strict, so I know there’s no cross contamination etc.    It usually seems to be after I have had a bowel movement, my bowels feel on fire, cramping, sore and very uncomfortable. I know it isn’t normal, and isn’t right and I have saw a doctor before, I provided a stool sample and apparently everything was fine- but I know it isn’t.    I am just wondering if anyone else experiences this? What would you advise I do in regards to seeing a doctor, I was thinking of asking for a colonoscopy or biopsy, I just want to know what is going on and why I’m still experiencing this. Any advice is welcome and appreciated.. thank you.

      Dr. Reddy’s Sandoz sumatriptan gluten-free?

      By elizabethhousworth · Posted

      Thanks. My son has been on B2 for two to three years now. I found literature about B1 earlier and put him on a B1 supplement, but not thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide specifically. He also gets D and Magnesium. He goes to his doctor in June and I am going to ask for bloodwork to look for any deficiencies. What I suspect is that he is having a gluten-like reaction to the proteins in other grains. It is well known that a small percentage of celiac patients react to the protein in oats. Oats are in gluten-free Oreos, so we removed them. He got a little better. The science with oats is pretty solid. My son's nutritionist knows about it and it is easily found in PubMed. I suspect my son is reacting to something else. The next thing that I only just removed was corn, at least things with corn protein. I need to give that a couple of months. If that doesn't work, I will try to replace his cheese with goat-milk cheese, although that will be hard.    My son was migraine free for over a year on a strict gluten-free diet before this past fall. I can test his foods for gluten and I have given in to diet rigidity. He eats my homemade refried beans and rice for lunch every day, so his rigid diet contains pretty healthy components. Given his antibody levels (tTG-IgA very low) and that I tested everything under the son that he ingests when his migraines returned and nothing tested positive for gluten, I think he really is gluten-free. So my personal working hypothesis is that he is having a reaction to a similar protein, one in another grain. However, the neurologist sees migraines come and go in lots of normal people, so it might just be that he is now having multiple (3-10) migraines monthly and it is hormonal or weather-related or something that is entirely distinct from an antibody reaction. I just would like them to go away again, as would he.    Thanks again! Elizabeth

      Duodenum biopsy result confusion

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @jamiet06, Yes, it does point in that direction.  Your report says "Correlation with clinical findings and results of serological studies is recommended"  is saying you should undergo a gluten challenge and be tested for antibodies associated with Celiac Disease.   These antibodies are produced in celiac disease in response to gluten, but you have to eat generous amounts of gluten for the antibodies to show up in the bloodstream. A gluten challenge means you eat 10 grams or more of gluten  (4 to 6 slices of gluten containing bread or equivalent or more) per day for a minimum of two weeks.
