Does subway have gluten free bread
Subway has introduced a gluten free bread option to the choice of bread available. Subway gluten free bread is only available in the 6-inch only, so no footlong options if you are gluten free.
Subway's website state "Our Gluten Free Bread is manufactured in a gluten free facility, however, as other ingredients in our stores contain gluten and products are prepared on shared equipment, our Gluten Free Breads may come in contact with gluten as we prepare your meal."

Gluten free Subway Review
Subway is making an effort to try and accommodate the gluten-free community and offer gluten free options. Although there is always a risk of cross-contamination. Always make your server aware of your needs and request that they change gloves and use seperate utensils when preparing your sandwich to reduce the risk of cross contamination.
I would love to know your experience and review when ordering from Subway good or bad. Please share your review in the comments below.

I couldn't be more pleased with this artical! It was straight to the point with exactly the info I was looking for. No scrolling to find the answer that the title claimed to address but didnt. Nope. You did exactly as you said! Bravo! Thank you for that! As a parent of a child whom I believe may be gulten intolerant and suching for experienced, educated knowledge on the matter before I drag him for all sorts of testing, i wanted some answers first. Although he may still need to get tested and probably will, I just needed to hear answers to my questions real quick. You provided that and that seems to become a rare thing these days! Its much appreciated not to mention, no matter the outcome of my sons situation, I now have a bit of knowledge on the matter myself and that never hurt anyone! (Seeing less of that is becoming much more often it seems these days) lol. Anyways, Im so pleased! I normally dont write anything like this but when credits due, credits due! So credit to you! Thanks again!

Thank you Lindsey for feedback on the article. I remember only to well how confusing and frustrating it was to find out simple answers to what gluten free options are available and tried to keep the article simple. As always I recommend making the server aware of any dietary needs when ordering food. Well done for seeking out information to gain knowledge into your sons health and I hope that he receives the testing required if you suspect that he may have coeliac disease.
