Dunkin Donuts Charges For Bread

I have recently received the news that I have Celiac Disease. I am learning day by day what to eat. I happened to order a bacon,egg and cheese (with no bread) at Dunkin Donuts and they still charge me for a whole sandwich. How can they charge full price for less food? I know that I am new to the gluten free world but this doesn't feel right.

That's normal. They sell a sandwich not an omlette.  But the more concerning fact is that a Celiac is trying to eat at a Dunkin' Donuts.

Your better off not eating there....I bet more then 50% chance that what you got was grilled on a contaminated surface, with contaminated flipper and hte guy did not even change gloves between fixing yours and fixing the guys on the bread....you get gluten CC from residue and crumbs even that will flare up your disease....gluten is a protein smaller then a germ like blood.....and your immune system with celiac treats it like a foreign invader like a germ/bacteria and goes on the attack. Please read the newbie 101 section. AND avoid eating out, it is honestly Russian roulette with your health. Eat whole foods mostly starting off and remove dairy and oats for a few months til you heal some. https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101/
PS do not fret about loss of foods alot of times it is just changing brands and cooking in your own house over eating out, meal prep in your free time so you just have to reheat stuff. Soups, stews, omelettes, stir fry, baked/roasted/slow cooked meats are go tos for most of us.

Agree with EVERYTHING..everyone else has said..RESEARCH is your friend..check all labels...This is a serious disease with serious consequences if you are not totally gluten-fee..yes...We have to give up alot..but your health is worth it..Try also to eat naturally gluten-free..a lot of the gluten-free products are full of sugar..GOODLUCK!

I don't know if you have Starbuck's near you but they have a gluten free egg sandwich that is not too bad. They follow good protocol when heating it up.  It comes wrapped and is heated up fully wrapped to avoid cc. Yes, I know they are more expensive but you will have to get used to that if you want "fast food" that is safe for a Celiac.  I wouldn't even buy coffee at Dunkins'.  It is not the same as it was when I was a kid anyway......they use to have great coffee years ago and then they changed it.  It is not the same.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By Shining My Light · Posted

      @trents I’m pretty sure what I’m left with when separating celiac to other causes is my 10% being a virus. The one I had about 3 weeks before taking this TTG test. Everything I’ve read says type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis and some viruses are what could cause the elevation. The other blood tests I had I can compare things against.  I’m going to give your article a thorough read. My support in my circle is very small at the moment.  @knitty kitty I think before EGD I would like to do the DNA test. I’m going to start keeping a better journal also.  I’ve read a crazy amount of these “articles” - these two I’ve not seen. Some articles spell celiac differently. Thank you for sharing! I’m gonna dive into those.   I started seeing the functional medicine doctors from fluctuations in my hormones and major anxiety. Recently I realize it’s mostly health anxiety also so this is more challenging to depict real from imaginary thus all the research and the back and forth. I know anxiety to be a common symptom in perimenopause. I’ve fought it my whole life however. Likely due to lots of different trauma but seeing her was my last ditch effort to try something to avoid SSRIs, HRT, etc. She told me not to blame everything on my hormones when there could be an underlying problem, so she ran some tests to see if anything stood out. The TGG tests stood out.  I do find it very interesting now that I think about it that I don’t desire bread, pasta and pizza. Sometimes yes, but mostly no. I guess I didn’t give that much thought. Also didn’t realize that those foods do contain more gluten than the tortillas and cake/baked goods. About 3 months ago I started ordering meal kits to make dinner easier. I went back over the menus that I picked. I have probably had bread and pasta a hand full of times over the last couple months prior to having that blood test. We used to get pizza every Friday and stopped doing that also. I’m all fairness about 2 months leading up to these blood tests I had less gluten containing foods than I thought.    I’ve been praying for wisdom. Thankful to find some counsel from people who I believe have dove harder into this than most doctors have. Thanks for all the advice. It’s appreciated more than you know. 💕

      @knitty kitty My whole family has migraines and I started getting them at age 19, so I'm not sure mine are related to gluten, although I do feel like obviously the more inflamed my whole system is, the more likely I am to suffer from more of these things.

      @Alibu, Just wanted to add... Migraines can be caused by thiamine insufficiency.  I used to have them, regularly, but haven't since supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Magnesium Threonate.  These forms get into the brain easily and really improve migraines.  I do still get Ophthalmic migraines which are triggered by computer screens.  It's permanent damage from nutritional deficiencies.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace test is a more accurate test for sufficient thiamine. Keep us posted on your progress!

      @knitty kitty Thank you for those, I will definitely bring them up!  I did send a message to my doctor basically asking what they think so I'll go from there.  He may very well just decide that this was enough to diagnose celiac, but I have no clue what his thoughts are right now.  I also asked for a second opinion on the pathology.

      @HilaryM, Are you eating a diet high in carbohydrates?  You might find a Paleo diet easier on your digestive system.  A Paleo diet can promote changes in  intestinal flora, effectively starving out SIBO bacteria.   Be wary of gluten free processed foods.  Many are not enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals lost in processing like gluten containing foods are.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals while healing.  Vitamins are organic compounds that the body cannot make and so must get from the diet.   Supplementing ensures our bodies get a fair chance to absorb the essential nutrients it needs.
