Last night I went to BJ's and ordered to Gluten free pizza and the gluten-free beer. It was fantastic! I got to feel bread full for the first time in weeks! and it tasted "right"! A manager is assigned to your meal when you order gluten free and they stand in the kitchen to watch the meal prep and ensure there is no cross contamination.

I didn't have a single moment of anxiety during my entire meal!

I HIGHLY recommend BJ's!!! Now, all they need to do is a gluten-free version of their pizoke and I'll be in heaven!!

Thanks for the tip. Where is this BJ's restaurant located? I've never heard of them. The only BJ's around here is BJ's Warehouse (sort of like a SAM's Club) which is why I opened this thread--I was hoping someone had found gluten-free pizza at BJ's. :)

I tried BJ's pizza last week. I was a bit worried since I am very sensitive to cross contamination. I was thrilled to be eating in a restaurant! It was only the second time in 4 years I had done so.

A manager did come to my table, and he explained how the food would would be prepared. BJ's was a restaurant I would go to before I was diagnosed, and I did enjoy it. It was great to be able to eat there again

The pizza was good. I knew I'd be taking home leftovers anyway, so I decided to order their huge (I mean really huge) baked potato. It was loaded with cheese, bacon, butter, sour cream, chives. The potato was fantastic! Between the pizza and potato, I had leftovers for two more meals.

I know they have quite a few BJ's in southern California, but I don't know their other locations. It feels so good knowing that I CAN eat out again.

I just discovered a few days ago that Romano's Macaroni Grill also has a gluten free menu. It surprised me to see gluten-free at an Italian restaurant. After my BJ's success, I got brave and ordered the shrimp portofino. Success again.

Maybe people really are understanding the need for gluten-free meals. Yay!

Do they have other gluten-free options besides pizza? Maybe I overlooked it, but I didn't see any on the website.

I was so thrilled to have pizza I didn't even check. :lol:

From their FAQ:

Do you have a gluten-free menu?

Our restaurants can provide information for guests who have food and allergen sensitivities or an intolerance to gluten. Please ask your server for a copy of our Food and Allergen Sensitivities Menu and Gluten Free Selections.

Thanks! I usually look for FAQ's but missed them just now.

@GlutenFreeMama- I went to the one in Escondido, CA.

BJ's has a gluten-free menu with all kinds of stuff... fish, steak, the baked potatos and the pizza. Took me three meals to polish off the pizza!

:D This is excellent news! Thank you for posting. I'll have to keep BJ's in mind, next time we want to go out for a meal. Very nice that they offer gluten-free beer, to go with the gluten-free pizza. Hope that trend catches on. I don't drink often, but pizza and beer, well, that's just a perfect combination!

I had the gluten-free pizza yesterday-oh, yum! My hubby and I shared that and each got a salad. He can eat dairy and I can't. So his half had cheese and my half was completely cheese free. I'm so happy to have another option. I asked the waiter if gluten-free pizza is ordered often...and he said they've had a lot of people come in lately for it.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
