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.

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
