Since I can't eat cheese, I have made my pizza crusts foccacia style. I put olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper, hot peppers, etc, on top, then bake. I then cut them up and dip them in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Oh, great idea!!

Viola, glad you like the cinnamon/sugar idea....I may make that tonight. Ended up trying chocolate chip cookies again last night - tasted good, baked not like a cookie should :unsure:

I LOVE Chebe crusts- yummm! Vydor Scope- have you tried Namaste pizza crust? Very similar to Chebe taste wise (but it's not pre-made so you need to do a little mixing- easy enough) and I am pretty sure it is egg-free. It's goooood! Really good.

tried a couple fo mixes, dont remember which ones.. not massivly impressed with any.

Namaste is another line of really good products. I did not care for their cookie mix, but I don't know if it was the olive oil I used instead of vegtable. It can give a strong taste. Their cakes are AWESOME and they don't have egg in the mix, so you can use egg substitute. They are casein free, gluten free, egg free, and soy free!

Nini-I made the cheese sticks the other night and they were AMAZING. definitely made my night. Before all the "big" chains came out with them, there was a chain that sold them (and still does) called Gumby's. Many are in college towns (like PSU!). I cannot tell you how much money I spent on those, esp late nights after going out! Pokey sticks are the best....these at least give me the idea that I am still young, cool, in college, and not Celiac (wait, I'm out of college, work long hours, and a very sensitive Celiac.....haha!) :D

What a great thread! Thanks for all the great ideas. You know what my problem is.....I have one Kinnikinnick pizza crust left in the freezer. Did you hear me? ONE crust I've been saving until I just couldn't wait longer. (Nearest Wild Oats quit carrying them and haven't placed an order). So, here I am with one crust and so many ideas. I may have to cut it in 1/8's and try them all :unsure:

Here's a different idea for pizza>

1 gluten-free crust

1 can gluten-free mushroom soup (if thin it may need a tad of thickener added)

1 box frozen spinach ( chopped & drained very well)I squeese mine by hand

garlic powder to your liking.

spread the mushroom soup on the crust,put spinach on top of mushroom soup

then sprinle with garlic or any of your favorite spices.

bake as usual.

enjoy!

I live on their stuff. I'm in the same city as they are so I can get all of their products. The pizza crusts are a lifesaver and we have cobbled together many a meal basedon them. The oreos are so good, the first time I had one I cried, thinking I was doing something I oughtn't. I adore their donuts. This company had changed my life for the better. I applaud them heartily.

(But I still hate all Celiac safe "bread" - even theirs).

I've never tried these oreo's you guys' speak of, though I don't know if I can eat them. I've had their gingerbread cookies (I don't know if they ship them or not) which taste like normal cookies I think. Their lemon meringue pie is good too. I don't like their bread though, I find it overly sweet. But I'm heading there tomorrow so I gotta check out these oreos.

I got the buns....I think they were basically like the Engish muffins. Both are great! This is unusual with gluten-free bread products, but both the buns and muffins are THICK....and have a soft nice quality. I always toast the English muffin (split in half--so big I can only eat a half at a time), but I thawed the bun and made a hamburger and it was quite good....my only complaint was that it was actually too thick for me!

I ordered the pizza crusts but haven't tried them yet. I'm glad to hear they're good! :P

I also thought the hamburger buns were too thick, but very good. I would like them better

if they made 6 buns instead of 4 and then I think they would be perfect. I thought I died

and went to heaven. We go camping and I was wondering how long would they keep it

not kept frozen? We don't have a freezer in our Popup Camper.

Thanks mamaw! I love this idea and my dd loves spinach!! I'll have have to try it if I can find a safe mushroom soup.

Hey Vincent ~ I can't use the premade crusts b/c of egg and rice but I found one that is really easy to make. It's at Carol Fenster's site... Open Original Shared Link I use the oil/water/bp as the egg replacer. Your son would probably love it. I just make a bunch at one time, bake them and then freeze them.

CeriA and all others

SPINACH PIZZA

I also sometimes put real bacon bits on top of the spinach . I know others who

put cooked burger on it but I like the bacon bits better . Of course the vegan would not use any....

Just another idea.

I went there today and bought bagels, K-toos, a bunch of other stuff, but the thing I was looking forward to the most was a pie. I can't wait to try it. I love this store. The K-toos are awesome and I don't normally have a sweet tooth.

Nini-

I just had the best dinner, thanks to you! I finally tried your garlic cheese bread with the pizza crusts! Yummy!!! I had white rice tinkyada spaghetti with spag. sauce, the garlic cheese bread, and broccoli! Ohhh...I'm craving the leftovers that I put in the fridge for my hubby!! I can't believe how good the crust turned out. Thank you for posting that picky-eater-friendly recipe! I'm gonna have to order more pizza crusts!!! (Kinnikinnick should owe you money! :) )

Kinnikinnick Order Question:

I know that they ship frozen. Do you have to be home to receive the shipment or is it ok on your doorstep for a few hours? They're shipped frozen, but what is the shipping, packing process? Thanks!

For those of you who saw my dilemna of only one crust....I debated and debated and finally used it for a pepperoni pizza, with spinach and mushrooms. I've been putting spinach on my pizza for years ever since eating a gourmet pizza with spinach on it. Love the stuff!

In addition to spinach, mushrooms, and bacon, for those who can have dairy, try a different cheese, such as feta and add some fresh sliced tomatoes before baking. YUMMMM!

I haven't seen them yet... but I also haven't been back to the health food store yet. It's such a pain to go to - but a Whole Foods is opening not too far away in a week - so I can't wait to go there! Are those meals in the frozen section? I'll have to remember to look for them. Thanks for the suggestion!

yep they are in the freezer, Ian's does make a line of foods with gluten so just make sure you get the ones with the Allergen Free/Gluten free labeling on the front of the box.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
