Yesterday I purchased a different brand of gluten free pizza.  A few hours later, I felt like I do when I’ve eaten gluten. Several of the ingredients are things I don’t usually eat.  Any suggestions of which ingredient might act similar to gluten would be appreciated.

Xantham Gum, bothers many, dairy bothers many celiacs also especially newly diagnosed ones, yeast can cause issues in combination with sugars and carbs.....of course any of the seasons or other grains could always have CC.....but very unlikely. -_- I personally just get grain free pizza crust like Califlour Foods plant crust to also avoid the dairy, Toast it on a stone to desired crispness, then add my own sauce and vegan cheese and toppings then back in the oven to melt them. Heck sale right now on 5pack bundles of 10 crust. 5for55 code at checkout Open Original Shared Link

Agreed. Dairy and xanthum gum can be irritating. This ingredient list is overall safe.

I really miss Pizza. I've tried many different brands but never that good. I stick with the Freshetta gluten-free pizza. It has the CSA symbol on it meaning that it has gone through some of the strictest tests there are and can test down to 5ppm I think. It's about as close to the real deal that I've come across.

I’m new to this page and found it by typing “Teff flour reaction” into google.

I have been gluten-free for three years after doing the Whole30 food elimination/reintroduction plan.

I have never been as sick as I was yesterday since my first introduction of wheat three years ago - I had purchased Udis “New” gluten-free whole grain bread and didn’t think twice about eating it - I typically get the Millet and Chia, but they were out.  Anyway, after finishing my sandwich I was so, so, sick - like within minutes.  After recovering, I decided to compare ingredients in the bread with other things that I’ve eaten and been fine (X-gum being one).  The only thing I thought it may be was Teff flour - that’s the only thing I don’t think I’ve had before.  I have emailed Udi’s to see if they will tell me what the “New” in their new recipe is - until then, no more Udi’s for me and that is a bummer!

I used to buy the Udis' millet chia bread also.  I don't like the new Udi's bread recipe though.  So I tried Sam's Choice gluten-free bread from Walmart.  It's cheaper and better IMHO.  Not sure if I'll ever try Udi's again.  The first loaf I got of their new recipe the slices were not baked all the way through and were wet in the center.  So not a great deal at all for $8.

I never buy Udi's. It's way too expensive. I like Three Bakers breads. Cheaper, never had any issues, and the company was started by a family with celiac disease. I too don't feel good after eating Udi's hamburger buns for some reason. One bread I've read about to avoid is the LiveGFree brand. It's the Aldie store brand.  LiveGFree makes all sorts of "gluten free" products that were certified by the GFCIO but then had a voluntary statement on the back that said "may contain wheat". That was a few years ago but when I looked it up recently, it looks as if they dropped the product line and are trying to bring it back as new. Be careful. I'm going to Aldie today and will check it out. Maybe the problems were corrected?

      This isn't the first potential celiac disease treatment in the pipeline that failed. There have been others...

      First of all, being able to return to foods that you have developed a sensitivity to in connection with celiac disease is not a given. You may or may not be able to do this with time. But the ability to do so seems to be connected with the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel which often takes 2-3 years in adults after attaining to consistently truly gluten free diet. But you will just have to test the waters. Experimentation with those foods is the only way. Realize also there are thresholds of tolerance. You may be able to consume those foods without issue but not as often and in lesser amounts than in your pre celiac days. So, start small and go slow.

      Welcome to the forum, @Waterdance! Constipation and diarrhea are classic celiac symptoms and hemorrhoids is usually the outworking of either or both of those two problems. But I'm curious about your statement, "I probably don't fit the diagnostic criteria for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease." Perhaps your understanding of what that encompasses is outdated and deficient, as is also true of many physicians. Actually, now there are over 200 symptoms and medical conditions that have come to be associated with celiac disease and the list keeps growing.  And you use the term "gluten intolerance". What does that mean to you? Actually, gluten intolerance is a catch all term referring to two different gluten disorders: celiac disease and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by ingested gluten triggering the immune system to attack the lining of the small bowel. NCGA or just, gluten sensitivity, for short, is a reaction to gluten that is not autoimmune in nature (neither is it an allergic reaction per se) but it's symptoms overlap with that of celiac disease. We actually don't know a lot about NCGS yet but some experts believe it can be a precursor to celiac disease and it is 10x more common that celiac disease.  There are some blood antibody tests that are pretty specific to celiac disease but they require that you have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months prior the blood draw. Having the blood draw done while being gluten free or even having been on a reduced gluten diet will invalidate the testing. There was a recent article posted in this forum about testing being developed that did not require breaking a gluten fast but it is not available yet. When and if it is, that will be a giant breakthrough because so many people experiment with the gluten free diet before they ever get tested and can't safely utilize the "gluten challenge" because their reactions are too severe. So, they can't distinguish whether they have NCGS or celiac disease and must live with the ambiquity.  There are also some people who react negatively to all cereal grains. You may be one of them. Technically speaking, gluten is found only in wheat, barley rye, and some cultivars of oats. But all cereal grains contain proteins that more or less are similar to gluten and, apparently, similar enough to cause a gluten-like reaction in some people.  Have you experimented with non-cereal alternative grains like buck wheat or sorghum? Can you substitute potatoes for grains to get calories? Have you looked into SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)/histamine intolerance? This could also explain the problems you are having. You are not going to want to hear this because you will feel like you are starving but the Auto Immune Protocol Diet will probably make you feel a lot better.

      Hello everyone.  For those of you that I’ve had a sensitivity develop to eggs and dairy (one or both) I am wondering for those who were able to go back to eating these things how did you discover that it was all right? I have a sensitivity to both, but I really miss eggs and I really miss dairy but I’m afraid to try them again so I’m wondering what others have done. Thank you
