Tv Show Medium

I love the TV show Medium and although last night was a rerun the first time I saw it, it didn't mean anything. The oldest daughter was having a sleep over and her mom had to buy some special food for her "gluten intolerant" friend. Then later she went to the pizza place and brought home a "gluten-free" pizza. I was so excited my DH laughed at me. I thought it was great to mention it in passing on a TV show that is popular, maybe just around here. :D

Little by little it's creeping into TV shows like that. I have heard it on Raven where her friend and her mother were eating gluten-free spaghetti.

Every little bit of exposure helps!

I don't watch that show but that is so cool! A few weeks ago we were wathcing the Steven Colbert show on Comedy Central and he was doing some silly rant and said the words 'gluten free bake sale' and I almost fell off the bed!

I was watching that same episode last night! But wondered where she went to to get the pizza? They kind of made sound like she popped into "regular" pizza place and special ordered a pizza with gluten free crust and it took an hour to make. I want a pizza place near me that does that! :D

I saw the original of that episode (didn't we have a discussion then?) I watch the show pretty regularly and if I remember correctly, it takes place in Phoenix, AZ. So maybe the pizza place is Picazzo's?

I wondered where this pizza place would be too. Wouldn't it be awesome!

She did go to a regular pizza place, but I can't remember which one. I know in Edmonton, Alberta there are two Boston Pizza places that serve gluten free pizza :D So ... it is coming people!!! :lol:

What! Where? Next time we go up we might have to check it out. A BP near us let us bring in take out from the Mongolie Grill next door when we had a hockey party last Christmas.

Luckily, I get to travel to Phoenix once in a while and eat at Picazzo's. It's wonderful! I really wish there was one here in the Bay Area. Anyone want to pool resources and open a franchise? There's an article in Living Without that talks about how each Picazzo's location sells 500 gluten free pizzas per week when they originally estimated selling only 4 or 5 (Open Original Shared Link). That number really amazes me, 3 locations is 1500 gluten-free pizzas per week. There must be a lot of happy Celiacs in Phoenix.

Okay, here's the scoop I got on Edmonton. Boston Pizza at Sherwood Park and Spruce Grove ... I'm told they are on the outskirts of Edmonton, by our Albertan daughter.

and

Pizzeria Prego on 111st. at about 58th Ave North of Southgate in Lendrum Centre.

Also good for Celiacs in Edmonton is

Pearl River Restaurant ...99st. at 47th Ave

and

Oodles of Noodles on Whyte Ave.

Sure hope you get out there to check it out! :D

Thanks Shirley! Next time we head up there we'll try to check it out.

Why wait for an opportunity to go to Arizona? Why dream about pizza? Why not just make it yourself?

We eat gluten-free pizza all the time in our home. Use Bette Hagman's pizza dough recipe, find a good sauce recipe (don't use store-bought bottled c**p), top with whatever you like, bake, and dig in.

It takes about an hour from start to finish.

Ahhhhh Lisa, your pizza I'm sure is wonderful! And I have made my own on occasion using kinnikinnick crust. However, there is a wee problem of 'hating to cook' Now I'm told that I'm a wonderful cook when I get to it, but there is so much else in life that I would rather do. :rolleyes:

Besides ... going out for Pizza with family and friends ... an 'almost normal' thing to do after a game or show would be super! :D

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call! Triple A's can press on the...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.
