I had one for lunch today too - it was amazing. My coworker who picked it up was concerned for the sticker they put on my sandwich talking about the risk of CC, but I talked to the manager and I'm pretty well satisfied that they're educated about the risk and how to minimize it.

I have to agree on Jason's Deli. We have one here in Montgomery, AL and I eat there at least once a week now so I can get my gluten-free sandwich. They take great care wtih it also! According to the girl working the register, they have had a good response to the gluten-free sandwiches, so I hope that means they will be keeping them!

Ate one today. Loved the bread but was not happy they put chips on beside it. I watched they did change gloves and make mine separate from DH. Will go back soon. Saw where their veggie soup was gluten-free.

I recently contacted them about gluten-free and latex allergy. The workers on the line here DO wear powdered latex gloves. The powder in the gloves is a big CC problem for those who are sensitive but they will go pretty far to make a safe sandwich. Manager said they would prepare it in the back completely away from the line, use non-latex gloves or no gloves at all. The veggies etc. are prepped in the a.m. with non-latex gloves so he said just speak up and they would pull from the fresh stuff in the walk-in instead of from the line to make sure no latex contamination. I was going to ask about the latex but somehow he brought it up first and I was quite suprized at their level of awareness. Good for Jason's Deli!

I had a good experience at Jason's too. I ordered a salad and added chicken to it. I was a little concerned when they took the chicken from the salad bar prep line and cut it up on the bar there. I didn't have any problems with it and it tasted very good but I still have my concerns about using the chicken and next time I will ask if it should be done in a different way.

Ooh good to know. Before going gluten free, I loved Jason's deli sandwiches, and my work uses them to cater for meetings all the time. I'll have to look up the gluten free menu when I next visit. I've been really nervous about eating out, (especially since my favorite place before going gluten free was arby's... AAAAAAAAAAAH the gluten!) so its good to know there is somewhere that is really good about taking care of the celiacs and gluten intolerants.

PS... missy'smom... that is totally great about the latex! That is excellent customer service if I ever saw it! *grin*

another thought, you wouldn't happen to have found a link to their gluten free menu online have you? I can only find the regular menu which makes a note that says there is a gluten free menu..

Sorry to say today I had a bad experience at Jason's in Huntsville, Alabama. I had gone there before and ordered a gluten free chicken salad and the first time I went it bothered me that they cut up the chicken on the bar where they had all the other ingredients so this time I watched them. They were making lots of sandwich's and cutting them right on the bar and then cut up my chicken on the same prep bar. When they handed me the salad I asked them to make it over and not use the prep bar to cut the chicken. The "manager" who was up front handed the new salad to me and said - We can't promise we are gluten free.

If they are cutting up bread, and you could actually see the bread crumbs, then they can't even call it a gluten free menu. I was so upset.

I ate at Jason's a few days ago. The manager said the gluten-free menu was online. I have not been able to find it yet. But he did let me use his list which details all of the allergy information for their products. I just got a salad and while getting some cheese I saw where someone had dropped two pieces of tuna pasta in the cheese. I know they can't avoid that. The manager was right there when it happened. He got me a new plate and more cheese from the back. I was disappointed he did not change all of the cheese out on the bar. However, I do realize that as celiacs we take a chance anytime we eat out and that no one can guarantee that everything we consume in their restaurant that is designated gluten-free has not been cross contaminated. I just applaud Jason's for all of their effort and the training their staff receives. I only had a salad with olive oil and lemon as my dressing - no problems with it.

Jasons is one of my favorite places to eat in Dallas. I go about once a week. The pastrami with spicy mustard is wonderful. BTW... the chips on the side are gluten free too. Sometimes I pick up a bread too. The Udi bread there is larger and has a different texture than the bread I buy at Whole Foods. It is great. You can buy the meat too... I think it is 7.99/lb.

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
