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!

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten.

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
