First Class Pizza, located in the shopping center at the corner of Sand Canyon and Irvine Blvd, offers a delicious gluten-free pizza. We always order a large so we have leftovers. Not sure if they offer a medium size too.

We also found gluten-free pizza at the Whole Foods in The District shopping center (corner of Jamboree and Barranca) in the hot food deli. It doesn't seem to be advertised on their menu but if you ask, they have the individual-sized pizza.

Hope this helps someone else too.

My son thanks you! Z Pizza just doesn't cut it for him. We will definitely try it! Have you tried Au Lac in Fountain Valley? They have a Raw menu that is 100% gluten-free, and oh so delicious. And i am a confirmed carnivore, and it's still fabulous!

I think we tried Au Lac in Fountain Valley a long time ago and it was very tasty. We're not up in that area much though but it's good to be reminded of it. Thank you for suggesting it.

If you are ever in the Redondo Beach area, there is gluten-free pizza at Garlic Jim's Pizza on PCH and Prospect. We spoke with the owner. He was very knowledgable and freely discussed their prep and cooking methods. We've eaten there about 6 times and not experienced CC (they sell regular pizza too).

Update on the gluten-free pizza at First Class Pizza at the Irvine Blvd. & Sand Canyon location: Call first to confirm that they have the gluten-free pizza dough available. We've been calling for quite a few weeks and they never seem to have it. They haven't said it's discontinued but lately it hasn't been available for a number of weeks. Save yourself a trip by calling first.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Wends · Posted

      Hi RMJ. I read your post. Sounds like you need a second opinion? Have you been advised by Dietitian or referred to one? There are protocols for treating patients that have ongoing celiac disease antibodies / histology. Particularly as you have nausea and pain. You probably already know about the gluten contamination elimination diet. It may be that you are super sensitive to even the allowed 20parts per million gluten in certified gluten free flours and products? An elimination of all grains for a time may be necessary? Especially oats if you currently include them? It’s worth noting that a minority of Celiacs have oat intolerance and T cell response similar to gluten (particularly carriers of high risk HLADQ2.5), and ongoing celiac damage to the gut can occur with oats. Even certified gluten free oats. If you are already super strict and careful about cross contamination, do you eat cheese or have any cow’s milk in your gluten free diet? It’s often overlooked, even by specialists and Celiac dietitians. But there are case study reports in children. There’s a study in adults showing mucosal reaction to casein in Celiacs, and quoted 50% of Celiacs react to casein similar to gliadin because of molecular mimicry. Then there was this letter to the editor following up a case that states, ”We conclude that given this novel information, pediatric, and possibly adult, celiac disease patients with suspected “refractory” celiac disease and no detectable gluten exposures, should be trialed on a combined CMP-GFD with close monitoring for disease activity resolution prior to consideration of more restrictive diets…” (Jericho H, Capone K, Verma R. Elimination of Cow’s Milk Protein and Gluten from the Diet Induces Gut Healing in “Refractory” Pediatric Celiac Patients. Ann Pediatr. 2021; 4(2): 1082.) CMP-GFD: cow’s milk protein-gluten free diet. Hope you figure it out.

      Symptoms - Ulcers & Cough

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @BlakeAlex! Is this the GI Reset product you are using?: https://inwellbio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/GI-Reset_Info-Sheet.pdf There is a lot of weird stuff in that you could be reacting to. Personally, I would discontinue it as I doubt it's really doing you any good anyway. Getting to the point where you are truly eating gluten free consistently usually involves a significant learning curve as gluten is hidden in the food supply in many ways by manufacturers. For instance, would you ever expect to find it in soy sauce or Campbell's tomato soup? But it's there and a main ingredient. Getting rid of macro sources of gluten is relatively easy. Just cut out bread, cake and pasta. But avoiding the hidden sources and the cross contamination sources is much harder. I am including this article that might be of help to you as a new celiac in getting off to a good start:    Long-term undiagnosed celiac disease inevitable leads to nutritional deficiencies because of the damage done to the lining of the small bowel where almost all of the nutrition in our food normally is absorbed. We routinely recommend that newly diagnosed celiacs invest in some quality gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplements. And I'm talking about more than a multivitamin. We recommend a high potency B-complex, 5-10,000 IU of D3 daily, Magnesium glycinate, and zinc. I suspect your mouth and throat ulcers are nutritional deficiency related. Costco is a good place to get good quality gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplement products at a reasonable price. Are you on medications? May we ask your relative age?

      Symptoms - Ulcers & Cough

      By BlakeAlex · Posted

      Hello, I was recently diagnose with Celiac Disease and without realizing, I had every symptom on the list. Now I am moving as fast as I can to a total recovery. I thought I was doing well but I notice my ulcers on my tongue and throat and cough are starting to come back again.  Has anyone experience these symptoms? Also, I am incorporating GI Reset powder for a jump start to recovery.  Thanks in advance, Blake

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By trents · Posted

      No. There is no damage done to the gut lining with NCGS.

      Hi Trents, Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I do have concerns about NCGS. Would this show up if I did the endoscopy testing?
