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

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

      Bitters for digestion?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.
