Ran out this am to surprise my non-gluten-free fiance' with some donuts and oj...(he was thrilled) Go there often to get baskin robbins pistachio almond ice cream (yum!), but decided since it was am I would just get a regular coffee.

Was careful about touching donut bag, etc. washed hands, and didn't even take the lid off of my coffee....but had a BAD reaction. <_<

Can't think of anything else it would be. Has anyone else had a problem before?

Dinner night before was gluten-free pizza from Jules Thin Crust -- and hadn't eaten anything else...........

Thanks!

Sorry that you had a reaction to DD. I like to have an occasional iced coffee in the summer and have never had a problem. I even contacted them regarding their lattes, and they are gluten-free, which was nice to hear.

Coffee in and of itself doesn't bother you, does it? Sometimes it irritates my stomach for no reason sometimes, a great diuretic :ph34r:

No offense, but getting ANYTHING from DD is playing with fire, and sooner or later your gonna get burned. All that flour flying around in the air has to land some place... maybe on the stack of lids, maybe on the cups... maybe in the coffee grounds... maybe in/on the bags... maybe not. I would suggest you stay away from a place like that, but I know no one ever listens to that kind of advice :D

ive never had a problem with DD, but sometimes coffee itself will bother me if its too strong, also the cream/milk can get ur intestines going if you have problems with lactose.

I can see the risk of CC there, but most of the ones I go to have lids on the coffee pots. The thing i would be more concered about is the outside of the cup where the employee are handling the all the donuts then handling the cups. They are Supposed to use those tissue things while handling the donuts, but who knows.

Id rather go to starbucks, at least there 'goodies' are in a glass casing and they dont do any baking or heating there.

I drink their tea pretty often and never have a problem.

And actually they don't really make any of the donuts at most locations. My cousin owns a bunch of them. Usually a bunch of DD in a geographic area are owned by 1 person (or persons) and there is one store that makes the donuts for all the locations they own. The only thing that happens in the store is baking them off and adding the chocolate frosting and sprinkles kinda stuff. There really isn't any flying flour there.

Let me put it this way... CC risk at a DD is about as high as it gets, its fast food level service with a very large quantity of high gluten products... I would not bring my son there thats for sure! I am sure ppl go there and get away with it... and if that level of risk is okay with you, thats your call, but I will always advise against it.

I see exactly what your saying, but I also think about the fact that I am always around places, ie my workplace kitchen, even home ( i have non celiacs living there too), where there are large quantities of gluten. There is a toaster that sits right next to out coffee maker at work. As careful as I am every single day of CC, I have to live my life....i cant be scared of Gluten, just cautious.

Not asying you should, I just choose to remove completely unneeded high risk, such as DD. I refuse to live in fear, but I also refuse to take what I see as uneeded excess risk. I do not drive my SUV at 150 MPH, even though I am sure it can go that fast because I see that as a stupid level of risk, granted DD is not quite that level, but it illustrates the point. I still drive, and have plenty of speeding tickets, so its not like I am living in fear of risk, just have a cut off level that puts DD out of the game. :)

You know what the moral of the story is here?

ALWAYS GO FOR THE ICE CREAM :P

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
