I like that it mentions how they will deal with CC! Hopefully this works, it would be fantastic to be able to get an actual sandwich somewhere so popular..there are even Subways in some of our small towns here :D

Hi all!

I wanted to give an update on the gluten free breads and brownies at Subway! I live in Oregon and they have them at all Portland area Subways. It's very clearly marked and costs a dollar more than the regular 6 inch. The lady making my sandwich went and took of her glutened gloves and washed her hands when I requested the bread. Then she put on new gloves, wiped down the counter and put on a new sheet to put the bread on. She then used a new plastic knife to cut the bread and had another worker open the toaster so she could put it in. What is gluten free is clearly marked and everything was very clean so I wasn't terribly concerned about cross contamination. She wrapped my sandwich up and put it in a separate bag from the gluten stuff I was getting.

The sandwich was good! It's a large bun like a hamburger, but it has a nice flavor and not super crumbly. The brownies are a bit TOO good and I fear it could become a weakness for me. ;) I didn't have a gluten reaction from this and I feel that Subway is doing an awesome job of educating their employees on gluten free practices and the employees are putting them to good use! I was very impressed and I LOVE having a place to stop for a nice sandwich!

I hope this is helpful!

      I just want to post this new study here--it seems that for those who don't recover on a gluten-free diet may be in this group: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.adp6812

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      It does seem like brushing would be needed, and like anything else, a little daily exposure can lead to serious issues for celiacs.

      Good to know! Thanks for sharing this.

      Thank you! This is very helpful I’ll start looking over everything and writing down what I may be recent to. I suspect minor gluten or another intolerance. Do you have any advice on how to possibly expedite my healing process? I’ve heard taking different herbs and vitamin supplements but it’s a bit overwhelming for how recent I’ve been trying to keep track of my diet. Doing my best to feel better since I’m heaving so many annoying symptoms 😕
