California Pizza Kitchen

I decided to try the California Pizza Kitchen and had a very pleasant experience there. They use procedures approved by the GIG group to prepare the gluten free pizzas. They have 4 pizzas made using those procedures and don't even allow wheat flour in their kitchen, so no airborne wheat. 

 

Overall, it was great. It's good to see a restaurant that is taking precautions not to cross contaminate the gluten-free food.

I have gone twice now! Fabulous! Not a lot of choices, but that is OK, because they do that to ensure they have safe toppings. ,my 2 favorites - Margarita and BBQ chicken - are on the list. I think you can get a more " regular" kid style cheese pizza that isn't listed.

Yes, I noted how only certain pizzas are guaranteed to be prepared using the procedures, so I refrained from ordering a California Veggie Pizza since it wasn't on the safe list. I just did a sausage, pepperoni, and mushroom option and asked them to remove the meat and cheese and add a bunch of extra mushrooms. I also got a grilled veggie salad and that was great!

 

I'm going to call them up and recommend that they add their veggie pizza to the gluten-free routine.

What they do to ensure no cc of toppings - they take unopened toppings & cheese from the fridge - Not the cheese, etc on the regular prep line. They are willing to guarantee that they have these few toppings extra, in the back. I think we could argue that they have lots of black olives, green peppers, etc and must have some fresh, untouched in the back. But it can be a waste issue if they don't use the toppings.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
