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?

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

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

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
