It looks like they may be planning to offer gluten-free sandwiches if the response is good. :D

Please go vote! I've eaten there before and it's good.

I voted & left a comment about CC. I used to go there & they barely have the space to make all the yummy glutinous stuff they serve. I have a real concern that they will just have gluten-free bread in with all the other selections. We all know places that think all they have to do is take the burgers off the bun or the croutons out of the salads to be gluten-free.

I went and voted! I had some trouble finding the survey, it is on their Deli Blog linked at the bottom of their main page.

I really hope they do offer this option, although the worst episode of glutening for me happened at Jason's Deli. I order a salad with gluten free italian dressing, they had mixed their fat free(gluten-fulled) and regular up in the back and I was HORRIBLE and over a salad... The manager at that location was not nice or considerate of allergies. They even tried to serve me the pulled pork potato when only the pulled beef was gluten free another time. Hopefully if they do offer the sandwiches they train their managers and employees about it!

Thanks for the information!

I'm surprised that no one has followed up on this - I found out about all of this a few days ago and Jason's Deli HAS implemented gluten-free bread into their menu. And what brand did they go with? That's right...UDI'S!! Obviously enough people voiced their love for Udi's and Jason's Deli listened.

As for my experience? The cashier was very knowledgeable. They have a separate laminated sheet that contains all of their gluten-free menu items, and a separate section showing what all can go on a sandwich that is safe. Once I ordered, the guy on the line ripped off a huge piece of parchment paper to cover the line just for my sandwich and kept it totally separate. They obviously DO understand the concept of CC and take it seriously.

All in all, it was amazing being able to eat a thick sandwich on Udi's bread without having to make it myself (which I know sounds lazy, but it's true of all of us as some point or another). I love that they are further promoting a solid gluten-free manufacturer and getting solid publicity for Udi's. I will definitely be going back!

We have tried Jason's Deli twice..once in Nashville, TN and once in Arizona and both times we were very disapointed. The staff did not take our concerns about CC seriously. I think it depends on the staff and how they are trained at each location rather you will have a negative or positive experience. My daugther and I were both sick with our usual gluten reaction at both locations and have not been back since. I am always excitied when resturants are trying to offer gluten-free selections, and thankful for it, but employees need to be trained properly.

Did you email the company? They might want to know. They do ask for peoples opinions.

I tried the Jasons deli in Nashville.. They have to tell you it is not a gluten free facility so the risk of cross contmaination is there.

I asked to talk to the manager, and asked for my sandwich to be made in the back with totally fresh ingridents. .. this is the key is to ask for the manager new gloves and it to be prepared in the back. Everything on the normal line is full of crumbs. I am very sensitive and ate here successfully, but talkin to the manager is key. The employees are NOT trained in gluten free dinning!

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      There are plenty of people with celiac disease walking around who are largely asymptomatic. I was one of them. We call them "silent celiacs" They don't seem to have GI distress or maybe it's so minor and infrequent it's not really noticeable. They can be in that state for years until the damage to the villi progresses to a critical point or they begin to develop other health issues that they didn't understand were related to celiac disease. With me, I had very little GI distress but my liver enzymes were elevated. Took 13 years to get that run down and connected to celiac disease. Soon as I adopted the gluten free diet, the liver enzymes normalized. I am blessed that no permanent damage seems to have been done to my liver. Long term, unaddressed (with a gluten free diet) celiac disease can damage other body systems besides the small bowel. Another example is neurological damage that is often not reversible.  The EMA was the first blood antibody test to be developed for celiac disease. It has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA. The EMA is more expensive to run as it requires the use of organ tissue I believe. The tTG-IGA is just as effective. "everyone I know that has a gluten intolerance or celiac cannot tolerate gluten at all have tested negative for celiac." Huh?

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By Shining My Light · Posted

      Hi @trents!    I feel like relying to a super star with as much of your content I’ve read. Lol.    I definitely don’t disagree with you but I think I’m so chicken about another EDG.  What do you think about the EMA-IgA test?  I’ve read so much at this point I don’t know if I trust anything completely. Even if everything said yes I would still wonder if it was really something else. It really does seem like the possibilities are endless with all of these tests, etc. and then I think I would be extremely frustrated if the EGD came back normal and then I would still struggle whether I should really be eating gluten or not.    i’m also wondering how many people I’ve had the same levels I’ve had and it not be celiac I’ve not ran across anyone like that everyone I know that has a gluten intolerance or celiac cannot tolerate gluten at all have tested negative for celiac.  I would love to have someone who was a-symptomatic and was confirmed celiac that had an improvement.  I’ve had several people tell me if I have no symptoms then I shouldn’t care. I would like to live in that ignorance but every time I want cake it makes me wonder and it’s not a good feeling.

      Welcome to the forum, @Shining My Light! It's good to be able to engage a secret "friend". I know you don't want to hear this, but with a positive tTG-IGA, a positive tTG-IGG and off and on GI distress, your next logical step would be to get an endoscopy done with a biopsy of the small bowel lining (duodenum and duodenum bulb) to check for villous atrophy, the hallmark of celiac disease. Sounds like you have had upper GIs done in the past but you do not specifically mention having been biopsied for villous atrophy. Without this step, you will not be able to pin things down and it will likely be difficult to stay on the gluten free bandwagon because of the human tendency to rationalize.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's not rocket science, like @Scott Adams says!   My best advice is not to take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body doesn't absorb it well (only 30% is absorbed, less than that can be utilized).  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many multivitamin supplements because it's cheap and shelf stable, meaning it won't break down in storage on a store shelf, or when exposed to heat or light.  This stability makes it fairly useless to the body, but lines the pockets of the manufacturer.   Use other forms if Thiamine Vitamin B1 like Thiamine Hydrochloride, or Benfotiamine, or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  Benfotiamine has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.  TTFD is great for neurological symptoms.  Thiamine has no toxicity limit.  It's okay to take these forms of thiamine along with the B Complex which already contains thiamine.   I prefer taking a B Complex and a multiple mineral supplements to taking a multivitamin.  I prefer taking a B Complex twice a day because taking it twice gives my digestive system better opportunities to absorb those essential vitamins.  The B vitamins are chemical compounds that the body cannot make itself and must get from the diet and supplements.  I like the activated forms of B vitamins because this helps with the MTHFR mutation that frequently occurs with Celiac Disease.   The B vitamins are water soluble so any excess is easily excreted.  Niacin B3 and Pyridoxine B6 does have upper limits.  Niacin over 500 mg a day has been used in medicine to lower bad cholesterol under doctor's guidance for decades.  Pyridoxine B6 above 500 mg a day can cause toxicity symptoms in some people with a rare genetic variation.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      I'm also already struggling to get the motivation to eat because of the anxiety around food, not being able to eat the things that I am craving, and the amount of time and effort that goes into preparing every single meal, so I worry that increasing the restriction will just make it harder and harder to eat.  Thank you all for all the suggestions and listening to my concerns, it's helped me feel like there are more options and feel understood, at a time when I am feeling pretty hopeless and stuck.
