I was delighted to learn that Subway is testing gluten free food at seven hundred restaurants in Texas. I got this information from CNN Health, a source that I consider very reliable. Subway’s website does not mention these tests so I can’t even tell you exactly which Subway outlets are ‘safe’ for us.
Subway does publish a nutrition chart which tells you which ingredients are gluten free. I know from personal experience that they will prepare any sandwich you request in the form of a salad thus rendering it at least relatively ‘safe’.
As soon as I finish this post, I will send a comment to Subway encouraging them in this test, thanking them for considering the gluten free community, and urging them to put information about their tests on their website in order to reach a nationwide audience. I hope that many of you will do the same.
Keep in mind that Subway is testing whether people will buy their gluten free products. This gives those of us who are currently in Texas the opportunity (or is it an obligation) to purchase their products thus helping them “pass the test”.

why just texas????? there are celiacs in probably all states !!!!!
It is really amazing just how fat laden calories with a good apple mackintosh are definitely benefiting as compared to calories from fat throughout an egg or maybe calories from fat from a banana, Even now subway calories actually find a way to help to make this change in my own calorie consumption counter-top.
I would love to purchase gluten free food items from Subway…I ate there often before I was diagnosed with Celiac because I felt like their food was healthy and tasty. The only reason I don’t go now is because I’m afraid to risk the cross contamination.
