A while back I remember someone posting a story about a gluten-free pizza restaurant in NY. Something about a celiac man crying becasue it was the first time in almost 10 years that he had had real pizza oven pizza and real beer. :) We are heading to New York in a couple weeks and I thought I would check it out. Maybe celiac3270 was the one who posted it? I can't remember.

Thanks ahead of time if anyone know. :)

Wendy- Risotteria.com-- the place is AMAZING- a few of us went there last night, they have gluten-free pasta on Tuesdays. The pizzas and the breadsticks are great and DEF try the carrot cake or the "fudgie" for dessert- YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED :D

I think some people actually DO freak out there--there was an article in our paper last fall that told about a man who hadn't had pizza and beer in like 20 years. The article said that he broke down and cried when it was served to him. The owner said that things like that happen there every so often. Hope you have a great time! The next time my husband and I drive up to NYC, we plan to go there.

I had a similar experience in Tempe, Arizona at Picazzo's...

Sometimes we, as Celiacs, hunger to be "normal" and enjoy eating at a restaurant without trying to watch the cooks or "expecting" our salad to have croutons or have our entrees served with the stupid breasdstick we loudly made a fuss about when the server took our order -- I think its funny how when that stuff happens to me now, I have 2 reactions -- one is fairley laissez-faire -- I could care less, it is expected, the other is pretty frustrated (not mad) -- just wishing people could follow simple directions...

At Picazzos, they are so well versed with the menu, it was a "walk in the park" -- I was doing fine emotionally until the waiter asked me if I cared for a gluten free beer -- I almost lost it right there...its not that big of a deal - I have had the gluten-free beer before, but it was so pleasant not to have to be on top of everything, not to be at "Defcon 4" like I usually am at restaurants.

Beer and Pizza is something to be cherished -- I know it affected me -- maybe not tears, but damn near...I need to go to AZ again soon...

Ditto! I've been there twice and it was so great. The gluten free menu has almost everything that the regular menu has and they don't treat you like you're weird. The waitress even said, "I know, I'll box yours separately and make sure that it doesn't come in contact with theirs." She was boxing my leftovers and my parents' (which is regular pizza). I felt like crying too.

So cool!

The spaghetti and meatballs were soooo good!

The best part was, as Mookie pointed out, being able to reach over with our forks and taste each others' food without fear of contamination. Like we waz normal and everything!

ha, i know! I thought about it the next night when i went to dinner w/ my dad and he said "let me try your sorbet" and came inches from my food w/ his fork from his apple pie...i slapped his hand away and handed him his spoon-- totally reminded me of our conversation at Risotteria :)

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
