I have DD coffee daily and never have any problems. But a word of caution, I did get gluttened once and I think it was from the lid being put on by someone who had just handled the donuts. Now I always remove the lid before drinking and have only had a few spills lol.

My DD16 and I were just saying we would kill for a real donut!

I don't think I could go into a Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts because the smell would just kill me. :(

I MISS DONUTS!!! (and the Kinnikinnicks are nice, but they aren't Krispy Kreme)

I drink DD coffee and it makes me sick. I'm trying to figure out why. Yesterday I tried a local coffee, Community, who makes a half-caffeine version. I was a little sick, but manageable. Today I tried DD for kicks and puked it up about 5 minutes later. If they say their beverages are gluten-free, then why do I get sick every time I drink it?

Cross contamination is the likely answer. Especially if they actually make the doughnuts there. I personally wouldn't risk it.

Haha. We don't even have a DD here. I buy it from the store and make it at home. So no cross contamination.

What else do they process at the plant? Cross contamination can occur in a plant setting if they are making items that are not gluten free. If you can drink other coffee with no issues then just stick to the brand that doesn't make you sick.

i drink DD coffee everyday from their store and don't have problems. i used to drink regular but switched to decaf after going gluten-free which doesn't seem to run through me like the regular coffee did.

my friend (who doesn't have any food issues) said she gets nauseous from their coffee but recently had it black without cream or anything in it and was fine.

I love DD coffee, it doesn't make me sick so much as it makes me 'loose' if you know what I mean. This is not always a bad thing, however, but I was worrying that it may have gluten. I make it at home so it's not cross contaminated. Other coffee doesn't have the same drastic effect but does seem to be sort of a 'stimulant to the system'.

I've started questioning whether DD ground coffee is gluten-free also. I've been having the same issues with some of their coffee as you have. I emailed them earlier this week, and these are the responses I received.

While away for the weekend I got 'glutened' and was afraid it was the flavored DD Iced coffee I 'treated' myself to while driving.

I have since checked their website and you are able to see a list of the ingredients for the flavored syrups at Open Original Shared Link

The good news is the coffee was not to blame :D - the bad news is the calorie count was more than I expected :huh: .

I noticed that the Dunks I used to get at their shops tastes different from the Dunks I make at home. It ALMOST tastes to me like there is a little bit of sugar doughnut taste in the stuff from the actual doughnut shops. I know that a lot of Dunks shops get their doughnuts off a truck and don't make them at the shops themselves, but I would still think the chance of CC is pretty high. The employees are touching doughnuts all day and then they touch the coffe filters.

We have no Dunks here in South Dakota but I buy their coffee in the grocery store and make it at home. It is one of my special treats - especially when I make it in the French press. It has never made me sick. On the contrary, a cup of Dunks in the morning makes me feel so good!

When I lived in Connecticut I worked in a lot of different reataurants. We were always allowed to drink as much free coffee as we wanted. And yet at every place I worked, someone would always make a Dunks run and bring coffee for all of us. Every night. At one place I worked, the CUSTOMERS would bring me Dunkin' Dark Roast (which they no longer make) because they knew I loved it. I remember one night I had FOUR large cups lined up on the shelf because they all brought me some at the same time. I drank it all too. Didn't sleep when I got home, but it was worth it. :D

I am not a coffee drinker, but love iced tea and get it often at DD- because it's on my way to drop kiddo at school, run errands, etc. I have never had problems with it, but have no idea yet quite honestly if I react to CC- I have been gluten-free for 6 months and not had an issue yet. My hubby asked me one day "do you think it is wise to get a drink from a DONUT place that handles donuts all day long??" --- guess I never thought about the people handling them, my tea has a straw which is not open, so I don't really know that I would get anything in the drink itself, since they should only be touching the outside. But, I suppose there is a cause for concern, realistically, given the place I am ordering from!

I personally work at a DD in Baltimore.  I've been there for three weeks, and I am seeing problems with my system.  I don't eat anything there (for obvious reasons,) but I do drink a small sweet tea during my shift.  I don't use a lid with it either.  Is it possible that I am inhaling small amounts of flour that are sufficient to trigger an immune response?  If so, does anyone know if there is any way I can avoid it with out having to find a new job?

I would definitely put a lid on my tea if there is flour being used. You could also have it on your hands and be getting it in your mouth by touching your face.

Hi Melissa, does the cappuccino contain soy? or does any of your flavored coffee contains soy? Please let me know.

That post is from 2006. You might get a better response emailing the company directly.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
