Pizza Hut Gluten Free

I just saw the article saying that Pizza Hut is now making a pizza that is certified as gluten free by the gluten intolerance group.  This is confusing: is it or is it not safe for those with celiac disease?

The  pizza  they are  using  is  Udi's gluten-free kit... that  is  safe & gluten-free...  problem  comes  in  that  it is prepared as  safely  as  it can be  but  it  still is  a place  that  has tons  of  wheat  products  so  the CC is the problem... plus  it  becomes an  unsafe  pizza  if  someone  decides  they  want  to add  maybe peppers  & olives  to  the gluten-free  pizza ... The  common  area  also  isn't  wheat  free.....if one  is a very sensitive  celiac  I would  not  eat  that  pizza....for  most  as  long as  the  staff follows  through  on their  gluten-free  training  the  pizza  would  probably be  fine....

I have  eaten the  same gluten-free pizza  at  home  with  no  problems, only  difference  would  be  the  restaurant !

It should be fine for Celiacs - they are GIG trained.  It might just depend on how comfortable you are with your local Pizza Hut employees and whether they will follow the rules.

I would ask to the manger to walk you through the preparation process. Observe them making the pizza. I do this at my fav burger joint. Only once did I catch an employee not following gluten "allergy" procedures. So, I watch every single time and talk to the manager first!

I can not wait to try the pizza!

I have personally observed the kitchen when they get busy. Local restaurants can be so different about how careful they are that I would never trust my life to hoping they follow thru with all the rules to keep me safe. It really depends on the management's dedication to and understanding of the life threatening issues with Celiac.

 

Training and actual performance are two totally different things. Written policy has to actually be properly and acurately executed every single time for Celiac's. It just seems to risky to me.

 

I can make a pizza at home that won't make me sick for weeks and destroy parts of my intestines.

Very true, that training in gluten free practice and actually carrying it out are two different things.  I have always believed this as well.  I have had celiac now for 5 years, and have yet to eat out in a restaurant that is not dedicated gluten free (and even at that only twice since it is not in my home town).  Good to know that Udi's Pizza kit is what Pizza Hut uses, and therefore I assume it's pretty good.  I'll just eat at home when a pizza craving hits!

I don't think I can trust it.  Just too much wheat around.  At restaurants with gluten-free menus (like Longhorn's) I perceive a lot less likelihood of CC because, well, they're not pounding out dozens of regular pizzas every hour.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
