Dunkin' Donuts Coffee...

Hi everyone! I am fairly new to this and still in the ongoing testing stage, but have been gluten free for a week now with some pretty big changes (long history of health issues - never thought they could be Celiac!).

Anyway, I have read that Dunkin' Donuts coffee is okay...I love their coffee and as a busy mom, buying a cup of DD coffee on the go is one of those small pleasures I look forward to! I have read past posts here that say their coffee is okay, but I also am learning that cross contamination is really common. It's hard to imagine that if I go into a Dunkin' Donuts (or even do drive thru), that I can be sure the server hasn't been handling flour and things like that.

What are your experiences with this? Thanks in advance!

I personally didnt have any issues with their coffee and around where i live they are very accomadating with washing their hands prior if you tell them you have an "allergy." on the website they do say all of their drinks are gluten free so i can even enjoy my latte.

I agree, I had the same worries about anything coming from Dunkin' Donuts considering how much flour has to be flying around that place! However, I've not had any problems with their coffee. I switched to DD from Starbucks a while ago because of cost. But haven't had any cc problems. Of course each one could be different, depending on the manager and who's working there. But since they make the claim on their website I feel like at least they're trying. And like I said, so far no problems.

I am someone who would choose to make my coffe at home and just bring it with me.

I want to address a more important issue. If you are still in the testing process for celiac you really should not be gluten free yet. You need to be on gluten for the tests to have any chance of being correct. If you have finished with blood and biopsy then go ahead and do a trial.

No problems with coffee from Dunkin Donuts or any other coffee shop.

Thanks guys! I had a small (black) coffee from DD today and it seemed fine - phew! I don't particularly like to drink it black but right now dairy doesn't agree with me

:(

Maybe I'll get used to carrying around a gluten free non dairy creamer :)

has anyone tried dunkin donuts pumpkin lattes? everything looks ok to me but was curious to see if anyone has tried it yet.

i looked up ingredients on their site and this is what they have:

Milk, Brewed Espresso Coffee, Pumpkin Spice Syrup [skim Milk, Sugar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Water, Brown Sugar, Caramel Color, Natural and Artificial Flavor, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Salt].

they also have a table that lists all the big allergens and marks it if it's in the product.

"Natural and artificial flavors" are always questionable. Remember, those can be barley-derived and since barley's not a Big 8 allergen it doesn't have to be disclosed. Contact the company.

I m questioning if my cold brew with cream and sugar is indeed gluten free. The last few times I have had it I get itchy and gassy. Any thoughts?

Caramel color can also be from gluten.

Ask Dunkin "Corporate" how that cold brew is made. It is very possible that they are using a coffee extract, processed on cross-contaminated equipment. (Folger's instant says this up front; Nestle uses dedicated equipment and says they can't have that problem.) It is also possible, if you are very sensitive and they have a lot of flour dust in the store, that you are being affected by flour dust either in the store, or that has settled out into the brew.

Bottom line, if it hurts you? "Don't do that." and it won't hurt you. 7-11 makes better coffee anyway.(G)

My uncle was a chef, and cold brew is the easiest thing to do at home and then you know it is gluten-free. The left over coffee in a glass jar with either cream or one of those gluten-free lactose free creamers by Delight and chill it overnight. Also that same Delight creamer can be frozen with no preparation, in a paper cup for gluten-free lactose free ice cream it was very very good, not just sort of good, and I used the caramel. I will make it again there is nothing to this. Also a 2 ingredient brownie with no grains at all, small jar of Nutella heated and added to 4 eggs that are whipped for 10 minutes, really whip those whole eggs, fold in Nutella and bake for 35 minutes in parchment lined baking dish at 350 again easy and a please make it a second time recipe!  Stay in your wonderful plan folks!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all.  So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once and there I ordered something raw vegan and gluten free hoping for the best. I also stayed away from oats and soy and dairy. I've also been increasing my vitamin B complex. I've been doing this for about 12 days and while I know that's not that long, I'm still getting sick. Sometimes having diarrhea. Sometimes getting headaches and having necklaces. Sometimes waking up feeling horrible brain fog. I did go to my GI doc and they did a blood test and found my TtG-IgA was in the negative range (and a lower number than I'd had before). I also had normal levels of CRP. My stool showed no elevation of calprotectin and no pathogens. My GI doc said the symptoms could be related to a gluten exposure or to IBS. I'm keeping a food diary to see if I can narrow down whats going on. I know I have good days and bad days and Im trying to isolate what makes a good day versus a bad day. Generally so far it looks like if it eat something super cautious like raw vegetables that I chopped myself into a salad and almonds, im fine but if I eat something more complex including, say, chicken and rice (even if packaged and certified gluten free or made by me with gluten free ingredients), it may not go so well. I may end up with either a headache, neck tension, brain fog, and/or diarrhea that day or the morning after. Any other thoughts or suggestions? I am planning to start tracking my foods again but I wanted to do it in more detail this time (maybe down to the ingredient level) so are there any common ingredients that celiacs have issues with that you all know of that I should track? I've got dairy, oats, soy, eggs, corn, peas, lentils on my “watch list”. Other things I should add? I'm hoping if I track for another two weeks I can maybe pin down some sensitivities. Appreciate the help and tips. Thank you so much!!

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      "My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash." Are you serious? The overwhelming majority of people with confirmed celiac disease do not have the rash. It's called dermatitis herpetiformis. It is found in only about 10-15% of those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.ca/gluten-related-disorders/dermatitis-herpetiformis/ If your GI doc is operating on that piece of misinformation, I would start looking for a new GI doc because I wouldn't trust him/her in general.

      Thank you so much for your informative reply. My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash. I had a histamine response to wheat and milk by scratch test by an allergist. I'm not always symptomatic but the older I get the worse it gets. I've found through trial and error that I can react to all grains. Buckwheat and corn included. I tolerate some rice but I wouldn't want to eat it every day. Potato is pretty good for me but I can't eat it every day either. I compromise with squash. I tolerate it well. The Best I feel is while fasting. When I'm in pain and discomfort it's easy to fast even long term, it helps. The problem I'm having is I'm great with my diet for 3-6 months then I start to cheat again. When I don't get immediate symptoms I get this foolish false security. I react then go back to my diet. Rinse and repeat. I suppose discipline is my real issue. I'm very tired of perusing a diagnosis. The constant gaslighting and dismissal is exhausting. Thanks for your suggestion of the autoimmune protocol. I will give it a try. Perhaps the guidelines will help me to navigate better.   Thanks again.

      This isn't the first potential celiac disease treatment in the pipeline that failed. There have been others...
