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.

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      It was gradual, just not being able to catch my breathe like I always had to take a deep breathe even taking a few steps I would be winded.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi Marie Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry your daughter is pointing the finger at you like this.   I am afraid children of any age can be very cruel to their parents - I certainly look back at some of the things I said to my mother and father in the past, and wish I could unsay them.  Sometimes people just need a safe place to vent, and unfortunately having a go at one's parents is the all too easy option.  If she is anything like me, she will regret what she says one day.  (Oh... if only I had the chance rewind the clock!) I just wanted to add one more thing to Trent's and Scott's excellent posts and that is regarding diet:  I have to say, not one person  (my nutritionist, my gastroenterologist or GP) has EVER suggested that a poor diet was the cause of my coeliac disease.    In all the various clinics I have attended these past nearly 12 years no-one has ever asked if I was brought up on processed food, or questioned if I eat 5 fruit and veg a day.  Sure, unfortunately I am only too well aware that I could do a lot better with my diet and it's a constant challenge for me not to give into what I like (unfortunately I've always had a sweet tooth).   But I know some super healthy 10 fruit and veg a day types who still got coeliac disease, and equally, a lot of people who eat all the wrong stuff and they still have cast iron stomachs. Do encourage her to get checked though - it may be that she hasn't got coeliac disease at all. Come back to us if you need any more support through the process. Cristiana

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      Welcome to the forum, @Marie70! The first thing to know is that celiac disease has a genetic base. The two main genes that have been identified as providing the potential to develop celiac disease are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. About 40% of  the general population carries one or both of these genes. However, only about 1% of the general population ever develops celiac disease. So, we know that in addition to possessing the genetic potential to develop celiac disease, there has to be some triggering environmental or medical "stress" factor (or factors) that switches the gene or genes on such that they are awakened from their latent condition and become active. What may be the triggering factor (or factors) is the subject of much debate. Here is an article that discusses this subject: Second, what will your daughter have to say if her testing for celiac disease is negative? She may have to add crow to her diet. Third, and this is what I really want to focus on because my wife and I are dealing with something similar in our relationship with our own adult daughter: the real problem is not whatever shortcomings you, as the family cook, may have had when providing meals, the real problem is with your daughter's heart/soul/attitude. If it turns out to be true that she has celiac disease, it is likely she would have developed the condition sooner or later even if her diet had been healthier while growing up. She is angry about the prospect of having to deal with the dietary and social limitations that having celiac disease would impose upon her. She doesn't want to face up to the fact that this may be a new reality that will dramatically changer her life and she is looking for someone or something to blame. And she has conveniently turned her wrath on you rather than saying to herself, "Okay, this is what it is. Now what can I do to make adjustments in order to with it the best way I can?"  When faced with a life-changing reality, people will either accept it for what it is, make adjustments and move on or they will become angry and look for something or someone to blame and get stuck. For now, at least, your daughter has chosen the latter option. Don't let her problem destroy both of you.

      It sounds like you’re carrying a lot of guilt, but please know that you didn’t cause your daughter’s potential celiac disease or your son’s Crohn’s. These conditions have strong genetic components, and while diet can influence symptoms, it does not cause autoimmune diseases. You did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time, and no parent is perfect. Your daughter’s frustration is understandable, but it’s likely coming from a place of fear and uncertainty rather than true blame. Let her get tested, and if she does have celiac disease, you can support her moving forward. Instead of focusing on guilt, try shifting the conversation toward healing and learning together. You’re not alone, and you don’t deserve to carry this weight on your own. This article might be helpful. She needs to be screened for celiac disease before she can be sure that she has it. Another approach not discussed in the article is a genetic test for celiac disease, which she could do without eating gluten.
