Subway Restaurants Announces Gluten-Free Rolls & Brownie Test Marketing

Celiac.com (blog)

In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as ...

That would be absolutely wild if Subway could find a way to pull that off and not cross contaminate the sandwich fillings. :)

Not sure how that will work. Don't they lay the cut bread on a little counter with the toppings? Then reach gloved hands in the toppings? And the crumbs off the cut bread get pushed or dropped in the toppings?

Only way I can see this working out is if they have a separate station for gluten-free toppings and condiments, separate toaster and educate employees really, really well about the need to change gloves. Unfortunately none of those scenarios are highly likely, IMO. This will just be another place for people that are doign gluten-free as a trendy diet and not for those doing it for medical reasons. I wish someone would open up a sub shop chain with nothing but gluten free sandwiches. Maybe we will see it in a few years.

I agree with you!!

Wat too much wheaty gluten flying around. I wouldn't trust it on a bet!

I wonder where they would even prepare these sandwiches? The few Subways I have been in have been small and there would be no place to isolate them from the wheat stuff.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
