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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
