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?

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.

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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
