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

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
