    Dunkin Takes Its Time With Gluten-free Donuts

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Update: Dunkin' Donuts has released the following statement to Gluten-Free Living:
    "In 2013, we tested a gluten-free Cinnamon Sugar Donut and Blueberry Muffin in select markets. We are currently assessing the results of this test, as well as feedback from our guests and franchisees, and we do not have plans to launch these products nationally at this time. We are continuing to develop additional gluten-free products for future tests, and we remain committed to exploring ways to offer our guests gluten-free choices."

    Celiac.com 01/30/2014 - Why is Dunkin' Donuts taking so long to debut gluten-free versions of its famous treats? First came the whispers of test marketing and then the official announcement, but then…?

    For its part, the company seems intent on getting gluten-free right. They have spent a great deal of time, and I assume money, creating a reliable, safe gluten-free production and distribution chain.

    From source materials to dedicated gluten-free production facility to special production methods, to comprehensive training and service, Dunkin' looks to be taking its gluten-free donut rollout with the utmost seriousness.

    Anyone in the northeast suburbs of Philly who wants a gluten-free donut should try the Happy Mixer an new gluten-free Bakery in Chalfont, PA on County Line Rd. My son is a very picky gluten-free eater and he LOVES their donuts, he says their cookies & cupcakes are very good too, but the donuts are especially fantastic.

    A little more research would have quickly disclosed in fact that DD did, in fact, come out with both a donut and a "blueberry" muffin which were both so bad as to be inedible. Test areas near Miami, Brookline MA, and Connecticut were so excited to see the roll out and then came the test. We tasted. We spit them out, We did not buy any more. The muffin was dry, crumbly and awful. The donut small, too sweet and again, dry and cumbly. The good part was the individual wrapping allowing these to be kept frozen and ready for eating-- I think heating them for a few seconds might have been helpful. But I have to say these were one of the worst tasting gluten-free items I have ever tried. The price point was way too high as well. I would rather do without, so I hope they are coming up with a much better product!

    Thank you for this. Though the article was completed before Dunkin's announcement, the announcement did come before we got the article live. Apologies for that. We'll correct the story to reflect the latest development from Dunkin' Donuts.

     

    For those unfamiliar, Dunkin' released the following statement to Gluten-Free Living, confirming the news:

    Gut 2000;46:332-335
    (Celiac.com 03/17/2000) In the latest issue of Gut, Italian researchers propose that celiac disease is more common than previously thought, and that pregnant women should be screened for celiac disease. They conclude that a screening could help women to avoid negative outcomes and miscarriages. Dr. L. Greco and his colleagues from the University of Naples Federico II screened blood samples from 845 pregnant women in an effort to determine the prevalence of celiac disease. They looked for elevated levels of endomysial antibodies against tissue transglutaminase to determine how many of them had celiac disease. Out of the 845, women 12 had celiac disease (1.4%), and only three of the 12 had been previously diagnosed and were not following a gluten-free...

    Do High Levels of Celiac Disease Antibodies Put Pregnant Women at Risk for Low Birth Weight Babies?
    Celiac.com 06/12/2013 - Pregnant women with higher levels of issue transglutaminase (anti-tTG), an antibody common in people with celiac disease, at risk for low fetal and birth weight in their babies, according to a new study in Gastroenterology.
    A number of studies before this one have confirmed an association between celiac disease and poor growth fetus growth, but very little study had been done as to how the level of celiac disease might affect fetal growth, birth weight or birth outcome.
    In an effort to better understand how the level of celiac disease affects fetal growth, birth weight, and birth outcome, a team of researchers set out to assess the associations between levels of antibodies against tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG, a celiac disease marker) and fetal growth ...

    The Daily Show's Jon Stewart Nails Celiac Disease!
    Celiac.com 06/26/2014 - In a segment that was noteworthy for its accuracy, focus and generous time allotment, The Daily Show host, Jon Stewart, opened up about his son’s experiences with celiac disease.
    For the segment, Stewart interviewed actress and gluten-free baker Jennifer Esposito about celiac disease, and about Esposito’s new book, and gluten-free bakery, both named Jennifer’s Way.
    Esposito talked about her own years-long struggles with chronic symptoms of celiac disease, and with her difficulties in getting a proper diagnosis.
    In what might be one of the most widely watched, in depth talks about celiac disease on major television, the show devoted nearly six minutes to the subject.
    In classic Stewart style, the segment was both accurate and informative, while still...

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior". Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still co...
