@par18, the day will come, and it may not be too far away, when medications will be available to diffuse the celiac reaction and allow celiacs to consume gluten to one degree or another. Undoubtedly, insurance companies will require an official diagnosis before covering such. On that day, those of us who already have an official diagnosis will be saying to...- celiac disease

Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet
It might be wise to start him on small amounts and work up to 10g. Monitor how he reacts. Some people simply cannot complete the gluten challenge because it makes them too ill. By the way, you can buy powdered gluten in health food stores, at least here in the states you can. With a food scale, it would be easy to measure the amount being consumed in a day... -

Exactly one size does not fit all. For some people who would not be compliant unless it was officially diagnosed going gluten-free first is not the answer. As far as the Celiac vs gluten intolerance vs NCGS the treatment but not necessarily the compliance for all three is the same. Avoid gluten. My biggest problem with the gluten challenge is the fact that...- celiac disease

By the way, you can buy powdered gluten in health food stores, at least here in the states you can. With a food scale, it would be easy to measure the amount being consumed in a day. I'm not sure what the intensity of reaction to gluten tells you about what's actually going on with regard to celiac disease. I mean there are some celiacs like me who don't seem to react to minor exposure amounts but who get violently ill with larger exposures. Then there are celiacs who get some kind of reaction to even the tiniest amount of exposure but don't necessarily get violently ill. And how the reaction manifests itself is very different for different people. Some, like me, experience emesis and diarrhea. Others just get brain fog. Others get joint pain. It's all over the map.

That's interesting - that's a lot of gluten! I'll be very curious to see how my son responds to the gluten. In some ways, I guess having a strong reaction would tell us something? It's tough navigating this as a parent and having it be not so clear cut ;\ -
Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JamieAnn! Glad you had a good experience at your local Jersey Mike's. In the town I live in all we have is Subway and they stopped offering gluten free buns. So, I can't eat there anymore. Oh, more recently there has come to our town a Firehouse sub shop and, according to the Internet, they offer gluten free buns but I haven't tried them yet. For super sensitive celiacs, cross-contamination in handling at these sub shops may also be a problem.

Today, in Uniontown, PA, I ordered Jersey Mike’s Italian sub on gluten-free bread (paid extra for gluten-free) for my brother who hasn’t had a sub in yrs (neorological prob if consumes). He’s so happy! Their gluten-free bread is from a company that specializes in gluten-free products, some of which I’ve enjoyed before, so figured a sub would be good!
