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.

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
