"Extra measures are taken to ensure gluten does not contaminate other foodstuff such as meat, cheese and vegetables."

Oh really? How so? I want to know how they intend to do this when I've even found tuna in my sandwich, and many of you know that fish is poison to me. (Tuna being the worst) And what about the counters that they work on? And heaven knows its nearly impossible to keep the bread crumbs out of everything. And what about the meat and veggies? Are they gonna make the workers change their gloves between touching bread and veggies and other goods. And how are they gonna avoid touching the gluteny bread. I've watched, and at some point they are touching the bread with their hands...

I agree with Rowena, I'd be skeptical, but at least they have thought about it..At our restaurant when somebody orders gluten free, we use food from the containers under the table that haven't been opened yet, maybe subway could do something of the like? Either way, it is kind of exciting that they are taking the time to test..maybe one day it will be safe enough!

My local Subway does not have the buns yet. I'm a little excited about it. I'm curious what the bun will taste like. My plan is to go at an off time so it won't be crowded, and I can question exactly how it's going to work.

I think it's possible. I'm not super sensitive, and don't have any other food intolerances. The best thing about this deal is you get to see everything happening right in front of you. If they are as careful as they say they are going to be it shouldn't be a problem.

Our local celiac support group has been to pizza and hamburger restaurants that are offering gluten-free crusts and buns, and as far as I know, no one's gotten sick. Of course, I realize this may not be an option for those Celiacs that are super sensitive and have multiple intolerances.

My fellow Celiacs, things are looking up for us. Yeah!

best regards, lm

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?
