Papa John's New Gluten-Free Pizza Not Safe For Celiacs

I commend Papa John's for their honesty. In my personal opinion I do not believe anyone with celiac disease should be eating pizza prepared in the same facilities with gluten. Way too high of risk for cross contamination. Even the oven space that it is being cooked in contains gluten. Up until two years ago I was still eating out at restaurants that offered "gluten free" options, and yet I was still getting sick all of the time. Then one night I was able to figure it out, I was only eating at 2 dedicated gluten free establishments and 1 national up scale chain that assures everyone that ALL possible precautions are taken. After eating a meal from the chain I became very ill, and it was then I realized I need to stop eating out a locations that are not 100% gluten free. I believe that those with celiac are still ingesting gluten when they decide to dine out, and unless they are testing all the food or having blood work done soon after, they will never know just how safe all the meals and establishments actually are. I have heard and read time and time again that no amount of gluten is safe for those with celiac, but unfortunately I do not believe the community is actually aware of the invisible risks to us.

I don't understand why Papa Johns they even bother selling supposedly gluten-free Pizza if it's not for people with Celiac disease after all that is what gluten-free is really all about not just gluten-free fad diet eating people (which is probably the patrons they are trying to attract) but people,who,suffer from this serious disease.  And, I agree don't eat any foods that are prepared in an establishment that produces wheat, barley, rye, and in some cases oats, as not everyone can have oats even the gluten-free oats, I stay away from any establishment that is not totally gluten-free.  There are a lot of restaurants now that are just for gluten-free and you can feel safe in these places, I have never had a problem with them.
