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

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
