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.

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.

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
