    Celiac.com 04/11/2014 - As the gluten-free food industry enjoys steady growth and and rising popularity, more restaurants and food purveyors are looking to offer gluten-free items on their menus, and pizza is right at the heart of those efforts.

    Photo: CC--inspector_81According to the report by Food Genius, pizza appears on about 40 percent of all U.S. menus. Among pizza menus, 3 percent offer a gluten-free offering.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Other highlights from the report include the fact that pizza is the second leading gluten-free dish (after salad) across all menus.

    Look for these numbers to rise as the rising popularity of gluten-free food continues to drive the trend toward more gluten-free menu items.

    Half of the restaurants that offer pizza do so in the $7 to $12 range. Consumers' expected value of pizza is about $8. Food Genius reports that, on average, independent pizzas are about $2 more than chain pizzas.

    There was no word on the average price of gluten-free pizzas. What's your experience? Do you have viable gluten-free pizza and other food options nearby? Share your comments below.

    Gluten free pizza around here is quite available. I can think of at least four pizza places that offer it within a radius of about 5 miles. It is also more expensive, but I think I can expect that. It is from 25% to 40% more expensive than its equivalents. Most places it is edible by a celiac (me) or a non-celiac (my wife).

    I have not tried any pizza joint pies for fear of cross contamination either from careless prep services or blow back contamination from the pizza ovens. If anyone has some good feed back, please share it; this article does not address any contamination issues.

    I had a gluten free pizza at"Mr. GATTIS" pizza in Pigeon For he TN this weekend. $5 for small, which was plenty for me. Very good.

    Yes! We have a pizza restaurant that has a dedicated wood fired pizza oven and a separate sauce and cheese container for gluten free pizzas. It's delicious but $15. In my area regular pizza is only $10. I splurge once a year and enjoy one just for the fun of it!

    We miss our gluten free pizza place in downtown Durham NC: Mellow Mushroom at 410 Blackwell St. (across from baseball park). Excellent place, also the salads.

     

    Many places in northern VA say they have gluten-free pizza but with the caveat that they cannot guarantee it is contamination free. This is infuriating. Why even bother having a gluten-free pizza if you cannot guarantee is gluten-free !?

    I have noticed more local restaurants offering gluten-free pizza. Cross-contamination would still be the issue for celiac patients like my daughter.

    My experience has been that gluten free pizzas are only offered in the smallest size, with the price tag of a large pizza.

    My advice for gluten free pizzas is to ask if they are baked in the same oven as other pizzas. This will not work for anyone with celiac disease. I have no problem with the take and bake pizza.

    I would never eat gluten-free pizza out. I am sure they are not aware of how easy it is to cross contaminate. They would need have a sauce for only gluten-free and a pizza cutter only to be used for the gluten-free pizza.

    Gut 2001;49:169-175.
    Celiac.com 08/03/2001 - According to a study published in the August issue of Gut, treated celiac disease in either the mother or the father can still have a negative effect on their newborn babies. The study shows that infants run a five times greater risk of low birth weight and a three times greater risk of prematurity if the father has celiac disease. Interestingly, fathers with celiac disease were four times more likely to have babies with low birth weight than fathers who had other autoimmune diseases. In line with past studies, mothers with celiac disease were six times more likely to have babies with low birth weight. The study did not find low birth weight associated with people who had relatives with celiac disease but did not have it themselves. With...

    CBS Forces Celiac 'Blue Bloods' Actress to Take Leave of Absence
    Celiac.com 10/30/2012 - Many celiac sufferers have stories of discrimination and/or ignorance from coworkers, peers and employers but none have been quite as high profile as the current dispute between actress Jennifer Esposito and CBS. Esposito, a sufferer of celiac disease, plays one of the main characters in the CBS drama 'Blue Bloods'. After Esposito requested a reduced schedule to manage her condition, CBS took steps that have Esposito, her fans, and celiac sufferers everywhere rallying to her cause.
    The apparent point of contention between CBS and Esposito is the idea that celiac disease warrants special treatment (or perhaps that Esposito even has it). After the actress collapsed on set two months ago, her doctor recommended a significantly reduced work schedule. CBS was unwilling...

    No Higher Risk of Pregnancy Complications or Adverse Birth Outcomes in Women with Celiac Disease
    Celiac.com 12/03/2014 - It is important for pregnant women seeking medical consultation to get good, evidence-based information. This is especially true for pregnant women with celiac disease, who might wonder whether they face an increased risk of adverse birth outcomes and pregnancy complications as a result of their disease.
    So, does celiac disease increase a woman’s risk for pregnancy complications and adverse birth outcomes? Until now, there hasn’t been much good, solid data to give women a clear answer. With that in mind, a research team in England recently conducted a population-based study on pregnancy outcomes and adverse birth conditions in women with celiac disease.
    The research team included Alyshah Abdul Sultan PhD, Laila J Tata PhD, Kate M. Fleming PhD, Colin J. ...

    Gwyneth Paltrow Helps Stylist Go Gluten-free and Lose Weight
    Celiac.com 02/12/2015 - Gwyneth Paltrow is making gluten-free celebrity news again for helping her longtime stylist go gluten-free and drop some major weight.
    David Babaii is one of Hollywood's top hair stylists. In addition to Paltrow, his celebrity roster includes Kate Hudson, Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera and Uma Thurman, among others.
    After working with Paltrow for about 10 years, the man Vogue-crowned the "king of curls" had ballooned to 285 pounds with a 44-inch waist. At just five feet five inches tall, he became compelled to lose weight.
    In a recent Open Original Shared Link, Babaii opens up about how Paltrow and Equinox trainer Will Castillo helped him lose 135 pounds in just four months.
    Babaii says that Paltrow was very supportive, non-judgmental...

      Have you considered eating plenty of gluten from now until your capsule endoscopy? If you truly have celiac disease that would increase the chances of damage being seen.

      I just want to reinforce what Scott said and that is we have tended to think in these neat little black and white categories of it's either celiac or NCGS when in reality it may not be quite that neat. There's just a lot we don't know and the immune system is very complex. I often wonder if I had been gluten free as a child if I would have avoided developing...

      Gotcha. I'll give 100% gluten-free a whirl after my testing concludes. I know the traditional endoscopy is the gold standard, but I've already had that done and it was normal, so my gastro wants to do a capsule endo to try to cover more surface area and see if she can see anything further than the traditional endo... If I do have Celiac, I just seem to...
