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.

You are creative!

      @Scott Adams She may not have any damage to the joint tissue, or only slight damage. In any case, if it healed or was minimal enough not to cause permanent symptoms, she is lucky. Joints don't tend to heal well, especially with more than very minor damage. When the cartilage is gone, it's gone. My tempromandibular joint won't be recovering from this, that is for sure. I have a similar experience to OP, in wondering what my life would have been like if I had found out the cause of my suffering much sooner. Joint damage isn't the only *potential* oral symptom that I have. The dental enamel on my two front teeth never completely formed, so they have been crowned since I was about 7 years old. Since everything that has ever been wrong with me physically and mentally seems to me to be connected to this one issue, I researched "dental enamel" with "celiac disease," and found out that improperly formed dental enamel on emerging adult teeth is a very telltale sign of celiac disease in childhood. It is such a telltale sign, in fact, that the EU has medical policy in place that attempts to ensure that children with dental enamel defects are referred by their dendist to a doctor, to be screened for celiac disease. This association and the resultant policy has been known and in place in the EU since the 90s. It is now the 2020s, and America still does not have anything like this. Dentists here are completely unaware of oral signs of celiac disease. If our medical organizations had followed the EU, I could have been spared 10-15 years of suffering and the diminshed life quality and expenses that are still to come.

      I was diagnosed with celiac 19 years ago and have traveled globally. For Portugal - carry a written, translated statement (in Portuguese) that advises you have celiac disease and cannot eat gluten. Carry French translation for France. No wheat, rye or barley. I would select grilled or baked meat - ask the grill to be cleaned. Steamed veggies- no sauce. No soy sauce. No vinegars unless you know what kind. I carry gluten free bars. Eat fruit and nuts as snacks. Do - choose gluten free restaurants. It’s easier.  Always verify. Some restaurants add pancake batter to omelettes or crackers to hamburgers. Avoid French fries (tossed in flour and high risk of cross contamination in oil).  Do not drink beer - select Bulmers,Stella Artois or Angry Orchid - hard apple cider or wine. Avoid ice cream - often contains flour. I generally avoid desserts.  If you order a gluten free pizza - do not let servers put a regular pizza on top. Do not use the same pizza cutter or server. I avoided most appetizers. Fresh fruit makes a great dessert.  Or, I stop at a grocery and buy gluten free desserts and breakfast bars. Do not trust morning buffets. Hope this helps. Europe is easier than U.S. if you call ahead to verify they accommodate gluten free. If they say no, find a different restaurant.

      Keep in mind, Hannah, that of you are on a gluten free diet and want to get tested for celiac disease, any testing would be invalid until you were back on generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months.

      Hi, the test I did was an online one with list of positive feedback. I initially did the test as I thought I may be lactose intolerant but with the results showing high sensitivity to gluten as well as dairy I thought I’d just ask for foods that may benefit me and my symptoms as well as follow these results up with a blood test with my doctors. It doesn’t specify coeliac, it just showed a very high sensitivity to gluten

      Also, I've not heard of any legitimate allergy tests which use hair samples, certainly there is no test for celiac disease which uses a hair sample. Are you sure your tests are legitimate?
