No, they don't use separate toppings, but they do pull from the middle of the stack. I've eaten at Subway twice so far this week and have not had any problems. Their staff has been extremely careful when preparing my sandwiches. I applaud Subway for testing this out. And best of all, the bread and brownies taste delicious! Typing this post is making me crave...

Well, I still have my joint and tendon pain even after being gluten-free for a little over two years now. I would've thought that maybe my pain would gradually subside, but no. I still hurt just as frequently as I did before I went gluten-free. (Which is usually anywhere from 12-19 days every single month. And I can have pain in up to 4 areas at one time...

On my iPhone I use "is that GLUTEN FREE? eating out" and "is that GLUTEN FREE". I also have "GFNews" which lists a lot of current gluten-free related news.

I just so happen to live in the Tyler area! Hooray! I emailed the company the other day regarding their new gluten-free menu and my cc concerns. They just replied with a very generic email that pointed me back to the nutritional info section on their website. They said if I had questions about anything not listed on the pdf I could ask somebody at the actual...

Hello Mohamed, I am by no means an expert on any of this. But, I do know that Celiac can be tricky to diagnose. My blood results were very similar to yours. The ONLY part of the Celiac tests that I tested positive for was the Anti Gliadin IGA--just like you. Everything else came back negative. I even had a biopsy, and my GI doctor stated that she was very...

Yep, I agree! (And I'm extremely picky.) Those are the BEST brownies--I can't tell that they're gluten-free. My husband and kids love them, too. And their chocolate chip cookie mix is really good--not too crumbly and not too cakey. Hooray for Betty Crocker!!! Now, if I could only find a GOOD gluten-free yellow cake mix.

I ate at Pei Wei for the first time last weekend and had no problems. (But, I can eat gluten-free soy sauce.) However, I don't think the dish I ate had soy in it, but I'm not sure. I tried the Pei Wei Spicy Chicken and white rice.

I've never heard of Ankylosing Spondylitis before. Maybe it could be that. A lot of my symptoms do sound the same. When I have a flare the affected joint(s) get more painful and stiff if I'm sedentary. But if I get up and move around for awhile, they usually losen up a bit. And they usually only get extremely painful and stiff late in the evening or first...

It just really depends. My headaches and abdominal pain went away pretty quickly. My gastro symptoms didn't improve until my 3rd month of being gluten-free. (But I think that's outside the norm.) Actually my gastro symptoms got much worse the first couple of months of being gluten-free. Hope you have a swift and full recovery!

Thanks for all of the tips everyone--keep 'em coming! Lisa16 I know what you mean. I get this joint problem in the weirdest places sometimes, too. And on occasion it occurs in my tendons behind my knees and in my achilles tendon. I don't think it's fibromyalgia, because the affected area actually gets a little red and slightly swollen and it feels warm...

My rheumatologist did a blood test for Lupus and it came back negative. So I don't think it's that. I'll probably give it another year, and if it's still not better I may go back to the doctor. But I really don't want to go that route, I HATE going to the doctor.

I'm getting close to my 1 year anniversary this September of being gluten-free. All of my problems are much better now. I almost feel like a normal person. "Almost" because I still have this stupid migratory joint pain. I've had it ever since my late teens. It used to just be in my lower body and only occur in one joint at a time before moving elsewhere....

lol... yeah, I guess my name isn't too fitting anymore, though. Well, I do still suffer from the joint pain, but everything else is sooo much better. Glad to hear you're on the road to recovery, too, koolkat222!

OR you could be going through gluten withdrawal like I did. I felt horrible in the beginning. Frequent bathroom visits--it was TERRIBLE. My gastro symptoms were way worse on the gluten-free diet than they were when I used to eat gluten. And I was always very careful about cross contamination. Finally by around the 3rd month my gastro symptoms were all cleared...

Ah ha! I've dealt with tonsil stones since my late teens. After I found out about Celiac Disease I had a feeling that my crazy tonsil stones were probably linked to gluten. All of my other weird quirky problems were! Glad to hear I'm not alone.
