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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

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

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
