I had one for lunch today too - it was amazing. My coworker who picked it up was concerned for the sticker they put on my sandwich talking about the risk of CC, but I talked to the manager and I'm pretty well satisfied that they're educated about the risk and how to minimize it.

I have to agree on Jason's Deli. We have one here in Montgomery, AL and I eat there at least once a week now so I can get my gluten-free sandwich. They take great care wtih it also! According to the girl working the register, they have had a good response to the gluten-free sandwiches, so I hope that means they will be keeping them!

Ate one today. Loved the bread but was not happy they put chips on beside it. I watched they did change gloves and make mine separate from DH. Will go back soon. Saw where their veggie soup was gluten-free.

I recently contacted them about gluten-free and latex allergy. The workers on the line here DO wear powdered latex gloves. The powder in the gloves is a big CC problem for those who are sensitive but they will go pretty far to make a safe sandwich. Manager said they would prepare it in the back completely away from the line, use non-latex gloves or no gloves at all. The veggies etc. are prepped in the a.m. with non-latex gloves so he said just speak up and they would pull from the fresh stuff in the walk-in instead of from the line to make sure no latex contamination. I was going to ask about the latex but somehow he brought it up first and I was quite suprized at their level of awareness. Good for Jason's Deli!

I had a good experience at Jason's too. I ordered a salad and added chicken to it. I was a little concerned when they took the chicken from the salad bar prep line and cut it up on the bar there. I didn't have any problems with it and it tasted very good but I still have my concerns about using the chicken and next time I will ask if it should be done in a different way.

Ooh good to know. Before going gluten free, I loved Jason's deli sandwiches, and my work uses them to cater for meetings all the time. I'll have to look up the gluten free menu when I next visit. I've been really nervous about eating out, (especially since my favorite place before going gluten free was arby's... AAAAAAAAAAAH the gluten!) so its good to know there is somewhere that is really good about taking care of the celiacs and gluten intolerants.

PS... missy'smom... that is totally great about the latex! That is excellent customer service if I ever saw it! *grin*

another thought, you wouldn't happen to have found a link to their gluten free menu online have you? I can only find the regular menu which makes a note that says there is a gluten free menu..

Sorry to say today I had a bad experience at Jason's in Huntsville, Alabama. I had gone there before and ordered a gluten free chicken salad and the first time I went it bothered me that they cut up the chicken on the bar where they had all the other ingredients so this time I watched them. They were making lots of sandwich's and cutting them right on the bar and then cut up my chicken on the same prep bar. When they handed me the salad I asked them to make it over and not use the prep bar to cut the chicken. The "manager" who was up front handed the new salad to me and said - We can't promise we are gluten free.

If they are cutting up bread, and you could actually see the bread crumbs, then they can't even call it a gluten free menu. I was so upset.

I ate at Jason's a few days ago. The manager said the gluten-free menu was online. I have not been able to find it yet. But he did let me use his list which details all of the allergy information for their products. I just got a salad and while getting some cheese I saw where someone had dropped two pieces of tuna pasta in the cheese. I know they can't avoid that. The manager was right there when it happened. He got me a new plate and more cheese from the back. I was disappointed he did not change all of the cheese out on the bar. However, I do realize that as celiacs we take a chance anytime we eat out and that no one can guarantee that everything we consume in their restaurant that is designated gluten-free has not been cross contaminated. I just applaud Jason's for all of their effort and the training their staff receives. I only had a salad with olive oil and lemon as my dressing - no problems with it.

Jasons is one of my favorite places to eat in Dallas. I go about once a week. The pastrami with spicy mustard is wonderful. BTW... the chips on the side are gluten free too. Sometimes I pick up a bread too. The Udi bread there is larger and has a different texture than the bread I buy at Whole Foods. It is great. You can buy the meat too... I think it is 7.99/lb.

      Food Tasting Salty

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Part of the body's immune reaction to gluten is to release histamine.  This tastes salty, just like tears and snot.

      Eye irritation 2.5 months into gluten free diet

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I've had dry eye symptoms.  The eye drops did not help me.  What did help was making sure I was consuming Omega Three fats like flax seed oil and olive oil, and taking essential B vitamins, especially Riboflavin, Thiamin, and Vitamin C, as well as Vitamin A, one of the fat soluble vitamins.   Newly diagnosed Celiac can have trouble absorbing fats and absorbing B vitamins.  Most gluten free processed foods contain saturated fats which the body can't utilize. Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like gluten containing products.  The eyes make a film of healthy omega three fats which keeps the eyes lubricated.  Insufficient omega threes can show up as dry eyes.  Most newly diagnosed Celiac are low in Vitamin D, as well as Vitamin A, both fat based vitamins.   Thiamin Vitamin B 1 and Riboflavin B 2 are needed for eye health and optic nerve health.  Taking a B Complex vitamin supplement is beneficial.  Since the B vitamins are water soluble, any excess that the body doesn't need is excreted easily in urine.  The gluten free diet is low in essential B vitamins because gluten free processed foods that replace gluteny breads are not required to have vitamins and minerals added to them in order to replace vitamins and minerals lost in processing as is required with gluten containing products.   Other things that are helpful is to refrain from using highly perfumed products (hair care, body washes, deodorants, room fresheners, cleaning products, etc.).  These can dry out the eyes, too.   Staring at computer screens can be detrimental because you STARE and don't blink.  The tear ducts that keep the eyes lubricated are in the corners of the eyes.  Take breaks from staring at the computer screen.  Look out of the corners of your eyes to the right and blink several times, then look to the left and blink to help the tears spread over the whole eye.   My eyes have sustained permanent damage because of nutritional deficiencies.  My ophthalmologist and my doctors did not connect any of my health problems with nutritional deficiencies which occurred with undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  My optic nerve shuts down and I lose my vision if I spend too much time looking at computer screens, led lights, and TV.  My vision goes gray and dim.  It's much worse than "optic snow".  It can take  hours or days for my vision to return.  My ophthalmologist said my vision might not come back from that sometime.  My ophthalmologist said the flash rate, refresh rate, is registered by the optic nerve which gets over stimulated and shuts down.  The optic nerve uses lots of Thiamine.  Thiamine insufficiency will cause permanent optic nerve damage unless corrected promptly.  My thiamine insufficiency/deficiency was not corrected promptly and I have this permanent damage and light sensitivity.  I take Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine that also is beneficial for healing the intestinal tract.  Riboflavin,  Pyridoxine B 6,  and Vitamin A are also needed for eye health.   Thiamine insufficiency can also cause anxiety.  Thiamine and magnesium will relieve muscle cramps. Talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals while your intestines are recovering.  Hope this helps!

      Reflux related cough anyone?

      By cristiana · Posted

      UPDATE I've been asked for an update by someone who sent a PM, but It's best to post health info publicly because this means fellow Mods can make sure I'm staying on the straight and narrow path with any advice I'm giving out! Alex...   Yes, my symptoms did slowly improve.  They started around October, from memory.  Approaching Christmas I remember the feeling as if there were feathers irritating my chest in my lower throat and in my lungs, and things like scented candles made things even worse.  I had a endoscopy and they found nothing wrong, I also had a chest X-Ray because of the cough which lasted more than six weeks and nothing showed. In the end I think the end it settled because I was doing the following: following a reflux/gastritis diet  (you can find lots of these diets on line, which focus on a low fat, low acidndiet, avoiding spices etc, avoiding alcohol and coffee etc) not eating three hours before I went to bed, which means going to bed with an empty stomach sleeping with a wedge pillow, which I still do, five years on... taking Gaviscon Advanced before bedtime, and after meals (not much, just a large teaspoon) using a blue Salbutamol inhaler, I think it was two puffs in the morning and two puffs at night. I felt a lot better after about three or four months.  I then only used the inhaler and Gaviscon when I had to, if I started to feel my chest was getting irritated again. I find keeping on top of reflux symptoms the way forward.  My gastroenterologist told me that the cough was to do with reflux/gasses in the gut coming up that can irritate the throat and airways and the fact I noticed improvement when using Gaviscon showed that that was what was causing it, because it provides a barrier that stops this happening. From the Gaviscon UK website: "It creates a protective barrier or raft over the Stomach contents (which is mostly acid, but also pepsin and bile)." https://www.gaviscon.co.uk/#:~:text=It creates a protective barrier,water and other neutral substances. This protective barrier stopped the contents of my stomach from coming up to irritate my throat, as I understand it, and allowed any irritation in my throat to settle. I do still take Gaviscon if I eat a late meal but not every day.  I hope this helps.  Do come back to me on this thread if I can help further. Cristiana

      Kratom

      By MommaBear82 · Posted

      Hepatotoxicity DOES happen with kratom. It happened to my husband. He turned yellow with jaundice and his urine became brown. This was only after taking it three times. I know because I was the one who gave it to him, unfortunately. People should realize that it can and does happen.
