"Extra measures are taken to ensure gluten does not contaminate other foodstuff such as meat, cheese and vegetables."

Oh really? How so? I want to know how they intend to do this when I've even found tuna in my sandwich, and many of you know that fish is poison to me. (Tuna being the worst) And what about the counters that they work on? And heaven knows its nearly impossible to keep the bread crumbs out of everything. And what about the meat and veggies? Are they gonna make the workers change their gloves between touching bread and veggies and other goods. And how are they gonna avoid touching the gluteny bread. I've watched, and at some point they are touching the bread with their hands...

I agree with Rowena, I'd be skeptical, but at least they have thought about it..At our restaurant when somebody orders gluten free, we use food from the containers under the table that haven't been opened yet, maybe subway could do something of the like? Either way, it is kind of exciting that they are taking the time to test..maybe one day it will be safe enough!

My local Subway does not have the buns yet. I'm a little excited about it. I'm curious what the bun will taste like. My plan is to go at an off time so it won't be crowded, and I can question exactly how it's going to work.

I think it's possible. I'm not super sensitive, and don't have any other food intolerances. The best thing about this deal is you get to see everything happening right in front of you. If they are as careful as they say they are going to be it shouldn't be a problem.

Our local celiac support group has been to pizza and hamburger restaurants that are offering gluten-free crusts and buns, and as far as I know, no one's gotten sick. Of course, I realize this may not be an option for those Celiacs that are super sensitive and have multiple intolerances.

My fellow Celiacs, things are looking up for us. Yeah!

best regards, lm

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
