Hi

I had my shower this weekend at il fornello. prior to going i emailed them and this is the great response i got:

Hi Jessica,

Thanks for your inquiry. We have been preparing gluten free options on our menu for a number of years now. Our staff,in the kitchen and on the floor, are very well trained about the proper handling of foods for customers who have allergies to certain foods or disease which restrict their diets.

Our gluten free crust is made in Vancouver in a gluten free facility and shipped to us frozen. www.quejos.com We prepare enough crusts for the day by par-baking the product before we prepare the other doughs with regular flour. The crust is always in it’s own “pie plate” with a raised edge while in the pizza oven or when being “dressed” to order, so that it does not come in to contact with flour. When the pizza is cooked we use gluten free utensils to cut and handle the pizza.

Our gluten free pasta is a rice noodle based pasta www.tinkyada.com that is parboiled ahead of the dinner rush in a separate pot and then portioned and refridgerated until needed. When a customer requests the rice pasta we refresh the pasta in the frypan that the rest of the pasta dish will be assembled in, not the regular pasta pot or it’s water is used in making a gluten free pasta dish.

I hope I have answered your questions and please let me know how your party was!

Regards

Sean Fleming

I would not recommend eating gluten-free pizza at Il Fornello's. It's terrible and not cheap. It is the worst crust I have ever eaten. Very disappointed.

Well, this is obviously a question where personal taste is a factor. I have been on the diet for over nine years, and when I heard that Il Fornello had gluten-free pizza I was thrilled at the idea. We have been regular customers at the Bayview Village location for nine years. It is somewhat expensive, but I have tried other sources, and except for our own home-made crusts (from the Gluten-Free-Pantry mix), it is my favorite. We enjoy going there.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Raquel2021 · Posted

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.

      Intolerance to certified gluten-free pasta may be due to additives or stabilizers included in the pasta's ingredients, even among the top brands. It's important to check thoroughly before purchasing and consuming; you can find the actual ingredients listed in the detailed component descriptions on Amazon.

      Thank you for this information and your post. I have tried just about every diet there is. I have been experimenting with diet for years and years. I am a vegan, so the diet you mentioned is not an option. Fasting always works for me. Probably because I am detoxing and not feeding candida or parasites. Meat eaters have a higher prevalence of parasites, just so you know. I have a feeling that every time I break out on probiotics it's due to some kind of war with my gut biome. I definitely need to find a system of flushing out my gut so that the probiotics don't have to fight as hard to populate.

      Sommersby cider, alcohol generally

      By bharal · Posted

      I'm unsure if sommersby cider is likely to have cross contamination issues, given its made by a beer company. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm assuming wine generally is ok, as it's bottled in a vineyard, but what about other (ostensiblygluten free) liquors?
