I had to let everyone know about some awesome restaurants I have found that have gluten free choices. I always love finding places to eat! Ok, here goes, I'm gonna play food critic :rolleyes:

Ciao Bella in Riverside - Open Original Shared Link

They have gluten free woodfired pizza (good but not the best I've had) and gluten free pastas. I had the Chicken Farfalle and it was the best pasta dish I have ever had! Its a pretty cool little restaurant too. Kinda romantic.

ZPizza - Everywhere! They have 51 locations in California alone and most have gluten free pizza! ZPizza.com

The pizza was about an 8 out of 10 as far as gluten free pizza's go. I would go back for sure. They also have soy cheese but its not dairy free.

Doughboys Pizza in Grover Beach (near Pismo) 1800 E Grand Ave, #N, Grover Beach, CA 93433

This was the best gluten free pizza I have ever had and probably right up there with the best all around pizza I have had! The woman who owns it is a retired dietician who spent months trying different crust recipes until she got it PERFECT! I just wish I lived closer, we went there while on vacation in central California.

Brick Oven Pizza in Poway - Open Original Shared Link

Really good pizza! Been there a few times.

Wow, can you tell I really miss pizza?!?

I would love anyone else's "hidden" gluten free dining places!

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have a ZPizza 1 mile away. I just called them and they will start carrying the gluten-free pizza in about a week. She said they all have to be "certified" and watch a video first. Up until now we would drive down to San Diego...a couple hours away...buy several and freeze them....now I can have it fresh again....I am sooooooo excited.

Pechang Casino

If you call the chef at the Pechanga Cafe a few days in advance they will make you a 3 course gluten-free meal for about $25.00 a person depending on what you order. I went there on Satruday and it was soooo good, the chef cooks in another kitchen separate from everything else and actaully read on celiac. He also said if you didnt want to eat there other places will cook for us. Dont let cafe fool you lol, the chef there is awesome.

I will second your endorsement of Doughboys Pizza in Pismo!!!! It is the single best gluten free pizza crust I've ever had. Its a great crust among gluten contenders, but THE BEST among the gluten free!! Whenever we're in the area (we live hours south in LA), we make a detour to Doughboys --its worth the time. And they sell Gluten Free BEER!

gluten-free Pizza and beer, what more could you ask for. I LOVE DOUGHBOYS.

Hello, Thank you for letting us know about these choices! I had just found out about ZPizza in Upland, CA. (and Redlands too, although I haven't looked into it and it sounds as if not all the branches have gluten-free pizza. ). I didn't know about Ciao Bella, sounds good! Have you been to Pizza Fusion in Temecula?

Thanks,

Patty

I'm a bit wary of the restaurant thing. Only been doing this a bit over a month. How careful are the pizza places about cross contamination? It seems to be that a pizza place would have flour everywhere....

Have you had any good conversations with managers?

Thanks. =)

Garlic Jim's uses a special gluten-free flour on all their pizzas. They say it's the only flour being tossed around.

I've successfully eaten at both ZPizza and Pizza Fusion. They both have Daiya cheese, which is tapioca based (and casein-free), so that's great for those of us who are gluten-free/CF. The crust at ZPizza is sweeter - I think perhaps b/c of sugar?

I've asked at both places regarding CC, and it seems very safe. I seem to remember ZPizza telling me the gluten-free crusts are made in a separate facility, and are already rolled-out when they arrive at the store, so they don't get processed with/near the gluten crusts.

P.S. Don't forget P.F. Chang's!! They've got a great gluten-free menu!

Carino's restaurants have a gluten free menu. I've not eaten there, but I get their email ads, so checked it out online.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.
