Californian pizza kitchen birthday reward

So I LOVE California Pizza Kitchen.  Yes, they have a limited gluten-free pizza menu, but it is yummy and safe.

 I belong to the pizza dough rewards program.  We have gotten $5 off here and there from it.  For your birthday month ( October for me), they give you a " gift" - a free dessert.  However, there are no gluten-free desserts.  I pointed this out to them in 2015.  They said they had a dessert they were developing and it would be out soon, but they were kind and gave me $10 on my rewards to use towards my pizza!  

Last year, same damn thing...but no response to my complaint.  This year....still no gluten-free desserts...and I have emailed, commented on FAcebook, and now messaged on FB.  This just make sure me mad!  So many of us go there and pay a premium price to get a safe pizza.... but they want me to just watch my hub eat my birthday dessert?  I keep suggesting to them to just give people $5 off for their birthdays.  Or  maybe a choice of a dessert or $5 off?  

Anyway, thanks for reading my vent!  If you belong to the pizza dough rewards, you might want to email, FB message, tweet, etc about this terrible & cruel  injustice!  ?

LOL I offer my customers a free cupcake for their birthdays. >.< I recently made some thing crazy on the pizza topic. I got Califlower foods plant based pizza crust, topped it with butter flavored coconut spray, erythrol and cinnamon and cooked it extra crispy for a cinnamon gram crust to snack on.....wish I could have pumpkin, would be great with pumpkin pie filling and toasted nuts over the top.

And it's not like I really need the dessert - I made 20+ dozen cupcakes on friday- so I can have some birthday cake.  It's just the principle of the thing.  

Ennis- that sounds  like what we used to do with extra pie crust when I was a kid!  So yummy.

I know right, that happy jump up and down moment when you recreate a childhood classic in a gluten free version, simple things are the best. I recreated my grandmothers empanadas using plantain batter and cinnamon pumpkin filling. Could not eat them due to carbs but I could nibble on them and taste them without getting sick. That Pizza crust thing reminded me these hard cinnamon flat bread snacks they used to serve at a restaurant...minus the icing. I found this one carrot cake extract, OMG taste like this spice cake at my grandmothers and just makes me and my mother cry when we use it in stuff.  And this morning I made a GREAT porridge that reminded me peanut butter cream of wheat. Used almond paste, coconut flour, cashew milk, psyllium husk, konjac flour, peanut free peanut butter extract, stevia, and a bit of konjac noodles blended into it. Nice lumpy texture as it cooled like cream of wheat from my child hood.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference. I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me. At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university. I went gluten free. I...

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis. While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels. Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten. celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has...

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference.  I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me.  At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university.  I went gluten free.  I started taking vitamins according to my nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Vitamins worked.  My health improved.  Now I'm here to help others.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Doctors don't recognize the symptoms of Celiac disease and malnutrition. Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and digestion, improves diabetes and neuropathy and much more.  TTFD (Thiamax or TTFD-B1 Max) helps with brain function, neuropathy and lots more.  Every cell in the body needs thiamine to make energy so the cell can function.  Without sufficient thiamine, mitochondria die.  Every cell also needs thiamine and the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine has antiviral and antibacterial properties.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a lot of carbohydrates.  The more carbs one eats the more thiamine is needed to process them into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine, the body stores the carbs as fat. This is called high calorie malnutrition.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a gluten free diet.  Gluten free flours and processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Meats are the best sources of thiamine, but some veggies (beans, potatoes, squash) and fruits (citrus and berries) contain some thiamine.    Explore thiamine more here: https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-causes-problems/

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis.  While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels.  Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten.  celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has to self repair in addition to the nutritional deficiencies.   Nonceliac Gluten Sensitivity Dr. Weston Price's research in the 1930s showed that diets rich in minerals and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D3, K2) promoted well-mineralized teeth, while deficiencies led to weaker enamel. Fatty liver, Intermittent diarrhea, Severe abdominal distension Choline deficiency causes abnormal deposition of fat in the liver, which results in a condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In some people, choline deficiency causes muscle damage. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/choline    Choline is a large part if the bile salts for fat digestion, Acetycholine, a neural transmitter, mitochondria membrane structure, and along with folate, B12, and B6 recycles homocysteine  High homocysteine can damage artery linings. Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety,  autoimmune diseases and most of your symptoms.
