I started a gluten free cottage home bakery years ago, there were none, and I started making dedicated gluten free goods and selling at farmers markets. Later transitioned to grain free and gluten free, and now mostly do keto versions of stuff so I can also enjoy them.
This year I founded a new company for doing catering and am getting a food truck next year to start a dedicated gluten free food truck and catering service with a focus on Paleo diet with Stir Fry, Bunless Burgers, and breakfast menus. We tried some other things but was not cost effective enough to cover overhead.

Business really depends on location, when I did a plain focus on gluten free baking in a small town with only a few other people on the diet sales just covered my own food expenses on top of what I sold. Let me live and survive but no huge income. The change to more of a Paleo based catering seems to take off, just hit and miss with weather ruining several events this month.

You could also look at being a health coach? Do be careful with all theses areas, know what your doing and take precautions and cover your self for liability issues. Always have disclosure and be upfront and truthful.

      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!

      Most recent gluten challenge guidelines call for the consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in about 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for at least 2 weeks.  When celiacs have been on gluten free diets for long periods of time, they often find that when they consume a good amount of gluten, they react much more strongly than they did before going gluten free. They have lost all tolerance to the poison they had when consuming wheat products regularly. That is certainly the case with me. A couple of years ago I accidentally consumed a wheat biscuit my wife had made thinking it was a gluten free one and it made me violently ill. So, I mention that as I don't know if your son has started the gluten challenge yet.
