Anybody out there know a great recipe or a premade yummy pizza. I have already tried udi's and it was horrible.  Thanks everyone!

I buy the Udi's gluten free pizza crusts and make 'homemade' pizza. My son also loves the Udi's spinach and feta cheese frozen pizza. He is also allergic to tomatoes, so that fits the bill.

I get the Donato's  pepperoni at the grocery store. they are certified, and doctor it up at home.  Even my gluten eating Hubs loves it.  I put sauce on again, double the cheese and any other fixings you want.

I bought a box of pizza crust mix a while back and that wasn't bad. I think it was Glutino brand??  It's a little hard to work with because it's so sticky but if you use wax paper or plastic wrap when handling it's fine.  We made this Open Original Shared Link the other night.  It wasn't bad.  It gets a bit salty though.  One change we will try next time is after the crust is pre-baked is to put it on a pizza pan for the final cooking.  I think it would crisp up the crust more but you have to use a glass pan to start.

We have used the Udi's gluten free crust and made our own pizza.  You can find Papa John's pizza sauce recipe on the web and add your own toppings.  We really enjoy that.  My son also tried the Freschetta gluten free pizza and said it was good.

We love Schar shelf-stable crusts. I've only ever seen them in one store, but you can buy them online. They are individually wrapped and come two per box, pre-cooked. You add sauce, cheese, and other toppings and bake just long enough to cook the toppings. If you bake them on one of those metal pizza trays with little holes in it, the bottom stays firm and does not get mushy.

Against the Grain, hands down

Even my wife who is not gluten-free likes it

It depends on where you live. If you're a New Englander you're probably out of luck. If you live elsewhere in the country you can probably find a frozen gluten-free pizza that tastes better than most pizzarias in your area.

 

I have been all over the country and long before I went gluten-free, I could never find a decent pizza outside of New England. There WAS one place in San Diego that was pretty good, and there is a place here in western South Dakota that's pretty good. But in other places usually you can't get a decent crust and they don't use the right cheeses, sometimes they put the toppings UNDER the cheese so it traps the grease, the sauce is either flavorless or they paint it on with a brush so it's too dry.

 

I worked in several pizzarias in Connecticut so I KNOW how it should be done. Here in my town people think Pizza Hut is good. In Connecticut no one but tourists would step foot into a Pizza Hut when the knew they could get a truly GOOD pizza just about anywhere else.

 

(Yes, I'm having a bad day - threw my back out. So I'm grumpy. But everything I said is true!)

If you want to order some frozen from a great gluten-free restaurant, try this: Open Original Shared Link. I ate there last weekend while in the area and it was the best gluten-free pizza I've ever had. 

 

Otherwise, if you cook, here are some links to recipes:

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
