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!

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.

      HLA-DQ2 is NOT a continuum 2.01 to 2.99, but I don’t understand HLA genetics well enough to explain it further.  It is not just one gene that is either this or that.
    • trents
      Okay, I'm taking a guess here. We are used to hearing in layman terms that having either the HLA-DQ2 or the HLA-DQ8 gene, either heterozygous or homozygous, presents the possibility of developing active celiac disease. So, I'm guessing that the HLA-DQ2 gene is actually a range of variants (2.01-2.99) with HLA-DQ 2.5 being in the centerpiece of the range. I'm also guessing that "permissive" is equivalent to "possessing the possibility" to develop active celiac disease and does not address the issue of hetero vs. homozygus per se. But the fact that 2.01,2.01 is a couplet may indicated homozygousity? All wild guesses.

      I received the results that my child has the genes for celiac disease (she is still undergoing testing and it has been complicated). Can someone explain if this is homozygous HLA DQ 2.5 or not? The interpretation just says permissive for celiac disease. Thank you! DQ Alpha 1  05:01, 5 DQ Beta 1 02:01, 02:01 DQ serologic equivalent 2,2
