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

      Fiber Supplement

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their...

      Fiber Supplement

      I was taking Benefiber for my IBS-C before my celiac diagnosis. It does say Gluten Free but lists Wheat Dextrin on the label. I really dont like psyllium fiber, so is there anything else I can take or is the Benefiber really ok for someone with Celiac disease? Thanks!!!

      @Rejoicephd, I'm not a doctor, but I experienced severe thiamine deficiency. Your symptoms seem really familiar. Malabsorption is a real thing that happens with Celiac. A multivitamin is not going to prevent nor correct nutritional deficiencies. Doctors do not recognize nutritional deficiency symptoms. Gastrointestinal Beriberi is not recognized...

This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their level of sensitivity to minor amounts of gluten. That's the long and nuanced answer. The short answer is that it is a product derived from wheat and so you can be certain it will contain some residual amounts of gluten. No gluten removal process is 100% effective. So, to be absolutely certain, stay away from it. Have you tried chia seeds? Very high in fiber and quickly turns into a gel when added to water. Make sure you get seeds that are gluten free if you decide to try it.

Now I’ve learned these other symptoms—that I have but attributed to other issues—could also be related to celiac disease:  fatigue joint pain canker sores numbness or tingling in hands or feet difficulty with coordination anemia headaches neutropenia I never dreamed in a million years she would consider celiac disease. It was a shock to me. It’s definitely not what I went to her for.

      @Rejoicephd, I'm not a doctor, but I experienced severe thiamine deficiency.  Your symptoms seem really familiar.  Malabsorption is a real thing that happens with Celiac.  A multivitamin is not going to prevent nor correct nutritional deficiencies.    Doctors do not recognize nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is not recognized often.  Caused by thiamine deficiency, high dose thiamine supplements or IV administration with other vitamins, minerals and glucose under doctor's care is needed.   Thiamine deficiency is found in anemia.  Thiamine deficiency in the kidneys can result in electrolyte imbalances and cloudy urine.  Thiamine deficiency can cause high blood sugar which can cause cloudy urine.  Dehydration can cause cloudy urine.   I'm linking some PubMed articles.  You see if your symptoms match.  Discuss the possibility of Gastrointestinal Beriberi with one of your specialists soon!  Just to rule it out.  I'm very concerned.   I'm linking some PubMed articles.  You see if your symptoms match.   Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/#ref3 From Section 3: "In conclusion, TD limited to the gastrointestinal system may be an overlooked and underdiagnosed cause of the increasingly common gastrointestinal disorders encountered in modern medical settings. Left unattended, it may progress to wet or dry beriberi, most often observed as Wernicke encephalopathy.". . And... Refeeding Syndrome https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK564513/

      What are your symptoms? What has brought you to the point where you sought celiac disease testing?
