Yes, make it at home.

Otherwise, I was in Veg City on 40th Street last night and I think they had a vegetarian cheesesteak.

It seems you are using the terms "healthy" and "high quality" synonymously and they're really not in this case. A cheesesteak is never going to be healthy. Sure you might find something healthIER, but definitely not healthy and good for you. It's steak, cheese, and bread.

Healthy for me means survivable. Most american food causes my digestion system to bleed and stop processing food, normally I starve before I bleed to death (takes about a month or two). I can make a cheese steak at home but I'd like a place I can just order one instead. (Jakes made me sick). Normally mom and pop restaurants or high end ones are my best bet.

You should see a doctor.

"gluten free healthy cheeseteaks" are akin to those olestra chips from some years ago back that tasted like cardboard and gave you anal leakage. what's the point??
If you're gonna eat junk food, just eat the real thing - in moderation - and your health will be A-OK!

Basically, the roll is the problem with the gluten free cheesesteak, yes? I think I've found something that might be close to what you're looking for:

Gluten Free Paesano’s, Philly | Gluten Free Traveller

Now, personally, I'd be happiest if they'd serve me that sandwich without the horseradish mayo and fried egg (what-the-heck?), but check out the article and see what you think.

This is like asking "who's the tallest dwarf?"

1) Paesano's in the Italian Market offers Taffet's Gluten Free rolls for their sandwiches. Taffet's is across the street. While a cheesesteak is not a regular item on the menu, they occasionally have. its still worthwhile going to get the Italian hoagie or pork (Aruba?) on a GF roll

2) Phillies Stadium: The Phillies have a GF stand around first base on the main concourse. They offer a GF cheesesteak. Not bad.. Roll stays together. They are typically premade earlier that evening, and not too large so that effects it a bit
