If any of you have severe food allergies or intolerance, be very careful when eating out or ordering food. I ordered 3 small "gluten free" pizzas from Gooeys Pizza in Waycross the other evening. I called it in, ordered, the manager was the one who took my order and repeated my special order back to me. We had it delivered. When I opened the boxes the first thing I noticed is 1 of them had very a different crust from the others. It was a thick hand tossed, the other 2 were thin crust.
The gluten free pizzas always come in thin crust and look identical to the regular thin crust, we know this because we have ordered from them many times. I called the restaurant, the manager admitted that the 1 hand tossed pizza was actually not gluten free. Ok, glad I checked, David decided to have that one. Another thing I noticed was there wasn't any labeling on the boxes as usual. They would usually put a sticker on boxes saying gluten free. Nothing. But, we ate the pizzas anyway. Bad mistake!
About 30 minutes after eating I began to feel really bad. It progressed until my stomach started to hurt and I felt sick. All evening I felt sick and here I am 3 days later, haven't been able to work, have been in excruciating pain, severe flu like symptoms,; these are side affects of consuming gluten if a person is intolerant to it, which I am. This is so frustrating! I spoke with the owner of Gooeys the other day. He didn't act like he believed me but said he wpuld check into it. Last I heard from him. I just wanted him to know because some people go into anaphylactic shock from food allergies.
Lesson learned, dont trust anyone with my health. Eat at home😣 I'm still in alot of pain, cant even touch my left side, but am starting to physically feel alittle better
