Hello

I got this email from the celiac listserv and though people may be interested. i love in boston so its sort of far for me but i do want to go...

Dear All,

On Nov. 5, you will have an opportunity to eat GLUTEN FREE pizza at the

Boynton Restaurant in Worcester, MA. And salad with GLUTEN FREE dressing. And

GLUTEN FREE BEER if you so choose. And GLUTEN FREE triple chocolate cake for

dessert made by a local pastry chef who is very aware of cross contamination!

Your support on that day is extremely important - this is a trial run - if there

is enough interest, this will happen again and again. Please do everything you

can do to come to the Boynton that day - bring friends and family - and help

establish what we hope will be a regular occurence in central Massachusetts.

There is an rsvp at the bottom of the flyer. Please make sure to respond and

guarantee your place, as it is by reservation only.

I've tasted this pizza and it is fantastic. The crust is perfect, the toppings

are fabulous. And wait till you see the dessert. You'll flip your lid when you

realize that we can eat like this, safely at a local restaurant!!!

Hope to see you there.

Best regards,

Ellen Allard

P.S. I have absolutely no financial gain in this - it's been almost a year

since my Celiac diagnosis and though I've tried a lot of the commercially

prepared gluten free pizzas, none of them even come close to the one you'll eat

at the Boynton! I've tasted it and it is fantastic!

Thanks for sharing, that's pretty close to me & I'd like to go. I think I'll call to see if the crust is egg and dairy free, too.

Do you have any more info? What is the RSVP they are talking about?

Sweet thanks!

I'll check back. I hope a lot of people come out, it could encourage them to do gluten-free more often (or. . *gasp* permanently!)

bummer :( There is milk powder in the dough. If they change the recipe and remove the milk, I would be getting pizza like 3 times a week. I have been on withdrawl. I live so close! Aaaargh. Yet. . .so far.

I hope everyone going to The Boynton has a kick ass time and eats a lot of PIZZA!!!!

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!

The pizza was delicious!!! I had a huge smile on my face the whole time I was eating it. They served Bard's Tale beer at the bar...can't believe I went to a Bar and ordered a beer!!!

You looked around you and there was a Bard's Tale at every other table. It was wonderful!!!

They might keep the gluten free pizza on their menu. It's very very very clsoe to my work...I can just pick it up on my way home. You can also " Take and Bake" !!

Well, I sure do hope they keep it going. I even heard from people I met that there's a chinese restaurant in Worcester that has a Gluten free menu. I am suppose to receive an email with that info.

Well, I'm certainly gonna keep an ear out for when this happens again. Thanks for the info Jess.

Jess, did you go? I didn't find you. There was a girl I though might be you until she ordered a huge bowl of pasta..hahah

I was sitting at the bar the whole night, way at the end against the wall.

hey there

we got there at six and they told us there was an hour wait which was kind of annoying. i was looking for you in line but wasnt really sure what you looked like :)

anyways we saw there was a seat at the bar so we just ate there- pizza was very good and it was nice to eat out since i dont go to restaurants usually cause i get so nervous about cc. i took two home to bake anothe rday. it took us an hour to get there but we would go again if they made it a regular thing! maybe we can meet up next time!

I'm glad to hear the pizza was top notch!

francelajoie: The restaurant in Worcester you may be refering to is Nancy Chang's; there is a menu online Open Original Shared Link. Woot. gluten free is on there home page, rock on!

Maybe we could meet up there sometime, then take a road trip to Boston because there are quite a few gluten-free friendly places to hangout at there.

      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...

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.
