The vast majority of coffee that is unflavored, is gluten-free. The flavored versions may or may not be so you would have to check with the manufacturer. I do not drink DD coffee...I'm a Starbuck's addict. However, I would be extremely careful when ordering in a DD shop and ask the server to change their gloves before getting your coffee. The CC in there is ridiculous and they generally hire people with little to no English skills....a bad combination for a Celiac.

I'm originally from New England and grew up on Dunkin Donuts coffee, and still prefer it to other brands. I have no problem with their unflavored coffee, and drink their Vanilla flavored coffee with no ill effects. It can be purchased in supermarkets.

I used to work in a Dunkin when I was in college. I agree strongly with what was posted above. If you are buying it from the store you'll need to check the bag but likely you'd be okay with the plain. (I'd buy that and grab your own flavorings to be safe.) I would not suggest you go to Dunkin and try to order coffee there if you are super sensitive.

You literally can't work there and not get stuff from the donuts all over everything including yourself. That means cross contamination is almost a given and as much as I love Dunkin I'd never do it knowing that, remembering how I would come home covered in the coatings from the donuts et all. It was almost as bad as deep fry grease and we didn't even make the donuts in our store. Just moving all that around inevitably gets you dirty with all the crumbs and toppings.

Even if a food worker made your coffee fresh, odds are just standing over it and making it until they cap it could gluten it and no, I'm not kidding.

Oh, I really miss Dunkin.

I went in to meet someone last month and I nearly fainted from the smell. I have had actual dreams about Dunkin donuts and Popeye Fried chicken where I am walking around feeling lost and very hungry but I seemingly can't even have a donut or a piece of fried chicken in my dream! It's maddening!

The hardest things to give up for me were Dunkin Donuts, Popeye Fried chicken, and my monthly Big Mac with FF. I'm not often tempted to cheat, but those are the three things I have the most trouble with.

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
