Author Topic: Krispy Kreme Thread Peter Berrett Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 602 From: Victoria, Australia Registered: Nov 2000 posted 06-24-2006 01:27 AM                        DAMN!!! How is this for a story. Results of a blood test came back today and it appears that, as I have suspected for some time, I am a coeliac. That means I have an intolerance to wheat. Guess what KK donuts are laden with? Gluten. DAMN!!! Fortunately the intolerance is not too severe so maybe I can eat just one once in a while cheers Peter  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-24-2006 11:34 AM                     I can't eat anything with milk in it or else.... Even if I take lactase pills it only buys me about a half hour before the fireworks start. However, there are times when it's "worth it" to eat milk. My wife bakes these KICK ASS cinnamon buns with sour cream icing. One bite of that icing and I'm a goner but they are so good I can't resist. I just take a handfull of pills and hope for the best. You should decide if KK are worth it for you. IMHO, if you get them hot, right off the conveyor belt they would be worth it. Otherwise take a pass.  |  IP: Logged Peter Berrett Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 602 From: Victoria, Australia Registered: Nov 2000 posted 06-25-2006 05:49 AM                        deleted - see below  |  IP: Logged Peter Berrett Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 602 From: Victoria, Australia Registered: Nov 2000 posted 06-25-2006 05:49 AM                        It is probably worth the risk (particularly as I have a free voucher for a dozen donuts however I don't trust myself to eat just one. cheers Peter  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-25-2006 01:00 PM                     It's funny how some things affect me more than others. I can eat pizza because the cheese doesn't have so much lactose in it. One or two slices will have little effect. So long as I don't make a pig of myself, I'll be OK. On the other hand, just a couple bites of ice cream and I'm toast. No amount of lactase pills will help... only delay the onset. The effects also seem to be cumulative. If I stay away from milk or foods that contain milk for a while my tolerance goes up. If I've been eating milk, on and off, for a few days, I have no tolerance at all. If I stay away from milk for a whole week I can have that sour cream icing on my cinnamon rolls. If I've been eating milk regularly, even the pills become useless. The only real problem is when I eat things that I don't expect to have milk in them. Lots of breads and baked goods are made with milk and butter. Lots of gravies and sauces are made with milk too. Most people don't have the problem of lactose intolerance, or at least they don't have it bad enough that they have to worry about it. They don't think twice about milk as an ingredient. When I eat out or at somebody else's house I have to be extra vigilant to be sure I don't get more milk than I can handle. I don't know a whole lot about Celiac but I imagine you have some kind of tolerance to gluten even if it's very low. I bet, if you are good about eliminating gluten from your diet all week, you can have some donuts on Sunday and the effects will be tolerable if not minimal. I think a free dozen of hot KK donuts are worth it. Just make sure you share some. It'll reduce the temptation.  |  IP: Logged Peter Berrett Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 602 From: Victoria, Australia Registered: Nov 2000 posted 06-26-2006 05:52 AM                        Yes I think I will have to share Coeliac disease is an allergic reaction to gluten which is found in some cereals. Some people have the disease really bad and have severe reactions to even minute amounts of gluten. Fortunately for me my condition is mild and I find that I can eat some products with no effects and others, like a can of spaghetti leave me aching for hours. But the immediate effects are only one concern. The gluten affects the small intestine and that can lead to cancer in the longe term. Unfortunately that is exactly what caused the death of my mother at age 53 although she was never diagnosed with (and probably had ever heard of) Coeliac disease. It is a shame she never had the tests done. So it is a serious disease but the good news is that with some modest dietary changes one can avoid the ill effects.

This gives you a perfect excuse to be the hero of your office. You come walking in with a dozen donuts and say, "Hey! You guys have to eat these! They're great but I can't eat them. C'Mon! Dig in!" You get to have your one or two Krispy Kremes then you get to win a lot of friends giving them free donuts.  |  IP: Logged John Koutsoumis Master Film Handler Posts: 261 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Aug 2003 posted 01-22-2007 12:16 AM                     Krispy Kreme... what's the big deal. I was walking around the food area of the Melbourne Central complex in the CBD and came across a new store. And there it was "Krispy Kreme". So I thought I will give it a try. I bought the blueberry glazed and a cream filled with choc icing. The latter was good but they are really average. I've bought better at asian bakeries too and no one beats the hot jam donuts from the donut van in Footscray.  |  IP: Logged Chad M Calpito Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 01-22-2007 12:58 AM                        I've had Krispy Kreme a few times and they are alright, but, I prefer either Dunkin Donuts or Winchell's. For now though, I'm staying away from the stuff for dietary reasons.  |  IP: Logged
