I don't know about your general coffee reactions, BUT...I've heard of many celiacs, especially on here, reacting to Dunkin Donuts coffee. Not sure why, I don't drink coffee myself, but perhaps they have widespread contamination or they contain some unsafe ingredient. So you might just need to find a particular source for your coffee that does not give you problems.

Have you tried drinking coffee you make at home? While their coffee may be gluten free the chance of CC is IMHO high.

I drink Dunkin Donuts coffee at home and it's fine. I haven't tried buying a cup though.

I think in a store that is making and baking glutony donuts, some flour might be in the air and landing on cups, pots, sugar packs, employees and customers.

I go to Starbucks. I don't get the flavors added but most of the flavors are fine.

Coffee & decaf coffee has acid in it that is hard on your stomach. I found that adding some milk helps neutralize that.

Same here. I drink homebrewed French Vanilla.

But ever since I went gluten-free, if I drink more than one cup per day, my stomach goes nuts. Coffee can be harsh. If I stick to one cup, I'm fine. If I try a second, my stomach will start to cramp up. Of course, I brew my coffee weak

I go to Starbucks once a week and I've never had any issues.

I was drinking coffee daily and kept having reactions...stomach issues, rashes, metallic taste in my mouth, weird numbness in my gums...I was sure it was gluten and changed brands over and over and it kept happening. Went to allergy doc and I'm actually mildly allergic to coffee itself! If I drink it once or twice a week I'm fine but if I start drinking it daily the reactions get worse and worse.

yes i have tried 2 times at home and had worse reactionss but it was much earlier on in the diet:( I think i might need a new coffee pot it might be contaminated it hink not sure.This is the first time i was brave enough to try it out i guess it was a stupid move i think i will try starbucks next time they seem cleaner:)

Personally I would worry about anything made at a place that has "donuts" in it's name! :ph34r: I do get coffee at Starbucks with no problem, but that's all they do there. (I know they sell baked goods, but the baking isn't done there. At least not at mine.) It's the same reason I'm leery of getting gluten-free pizza at one of my local places. Yes, that crust may be gluten-free. But look at all the gluten that HAS to be flying around that kitchen! :ph34r:<_<:ph34r:

I've had problems with Dunkin Donuts coffee in the past. I find that iced coffee does not irritate my stomach nearly as much as hot coffee would. I would think this is due to the coffee being more watered down in iced coffee than in regular hot coffee, but I could be wrong. Lately I've been staying away from coffee altogether and using tea as my caffeine fix.

Most Dunkin Donuts don't bake their own doughnuts. I'm not sure any of them actually do. They get deliveries every day.

Yeah, true. I guess it's just the picture I have in my mind of my local Dunkin Donuts -- all the donuts sitting in the cases right near the coffee pot, with the employees always reaching in to take out some donuts, waving them around near the coffee... :ph34r: Makes me get a headache and cramps just thinking about it. lol..

But at my Starbucks the case with the baked goods is way over on the other side of the register, far away from the coffee-making area, and it's usually two different people -- the cashier gets the baked thing while the coffee gal is preparing the drink.

In my area the donut shops bake their own donuts therefore I wouldn't dream of consuming anything from those shops.

I was wondering if anyone knows the names of a few of the safe Starbucks coffee flavors. I asked at my Starbucks and the response I received was, "what's gluten?" (though the info might be helpful to you too Mama Melissa)

I drink vanilla lattes all the time and I haven't had a reaction. I have also had white mochas with no proble.

It's so ironic that this is being discussed today. While out with my son yesterday he wanted to stop at DD. All I could picture was some employee that had handled donuts all day touching my cup and lid. I felt paranoid, but didn't care. We ended up stopping at Wawa (local convenience store) where I could make my own coffee. Success!

NEVER AGAIN will I drink Dunkin Donuts coffee. This has happened both times I drank it and now I KNOW it is the coffee. I bought it and made my own at home and now I have those dreaded "I got glutened" cramps. NEVER again and I am throwing the rest out

Can you clarify?  Was it plain coffee or a flavored one?  

How long have you been gluten free?   You might be reacting to coffee if your gut is still damaged.  It's pretty acidic.    Did you drink it on an empty stomach?  Tea will do that to me.  My grandma who was British, always insisted we drink tea with milk and to have a biscuit too!  

Coffee is pretty safe when you purchase it and brew it at home and as long as it is not flavored.  

Please let us know.

Coffee from a bag and brewed at home never goes anywhere near the donuts.  Its just made at a coffee "factory".

 

Just to clarify - the original discussion from 2011 was about buying coffee made/brewed in an actual Dunkin Donuts shop.  So, getting donut crumbs/gluten in the coffee seems ... at least a possibility.  I am not sure of DD's coffee procedures, etc , but there are at least donuts being made and sold near the coffee.

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?

      Just wondering can anyone help me out.heading on holidays and don’t really know what expect.if I get glutened are there tablets that you can take
    • Braver101
      Does anyone else get soaking wet sweats just out of nowhere? I’m not in menopause, there’s nothing wrong with me except celiac disease and my thyroid, and I’m taking my medicine. I am 18 days gluten-free but I cannot stop sweating and it makes me freezing cold and I’m soaking wet and changing my clothes literally as I’m changing my clothes the new clothes are soaking wet and nobody will help me. Please somebody out there help me.

      Sometimes I end up spitting out a drink of water! But for the most part I do ok with the liquids that I've been sticking to which Is hardly anything carbonated (meaning diet soda mainly)  I drink alot of tea which I make myself lipton cold brew sweetened with half sugar and half Splenda, smoothies when I could in the beginning but made with milk so I'm now using orange juice instead of the milk but it doesn't workout real often I drink black coffee in the mornings with no trouble usually and I've been experimenting with some juices but the sugar content is a set back I'm not a huge water fan but will drink it unfortunately where I live I can't do the tap water I'm the only one who has a problem with it apparently but for some reason I just can't...unless I'm using it in coffee or tea and the tea even took me some time to stand yes I have thought about boost/ ensure but they are very costly for someone who is scrapping the bottom at this time
