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!

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health.  Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.  Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming in macrophages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39890689/#:~:text=Our mechanistic study revealed that,necessary to protect against colitis. "Conclusion and implications: Our study provides evidence linking thiamine deficiency with proinflammatory macrophage activation and colitis aggravation, suggesting that monitoring thiamine status and adjusting thiamine intake is necessary to protect against colitis."

Deficiency symptoms of B vitamins resemble gastrointestinal symptoms when after eating gluten.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a form of Thiamine deficiency.   Do talk to your doctors about supplementing with essential nutrients while on the gluten free diet, especially if you're consuming processed foods.

Talk to your doctor or dietician about taking vitamin and mineral supplements while healing.  The gluten free diet can be low in nutrients, especially if you eat gluten free facsimile processed foods.  Gluten containing breads have vitamins added to them to replace those lost in processing.  Gluten free facsimile foods usually are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins.   Taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, Vitamin D, and magnesium help the digestive tract heal, lowers histamine, and regulates the immune system.
