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.

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
