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.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:
