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?

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.
