I Tried Glutino Spinach And Feta Cheese Pizza

I know, I shouldn't really be eating any starches, but figure it's okay once on a while. I just bought a couple of personal size pizzas, now that my health food store opened a new gluten-free section. I seem okay with goats milk occasionally, so feta cheese should be fine now and then.

Anyway, I was excited about having one tonight, as I haven't tried pizza in a year. I was very disappointed, I thought it was pretty gross. And it wasn't the toppings, but the crust I hated.

Next time I feel like a treat I'll try Amy's pizza, they have those as well.

My grocery store (Zehr's) just started having a whole gluten-free section as well! With different brands of rice pasta (including Tinkyada and Schaer), and lots of other stuff. I have to stop myself from going there, as I shouldn't really eat any of it!

I did try some Schaer waffles and snack bars, and was disappointed (especially because Nini seems to love their stuff), I hated the aftertaste and wasn't impressed. Oh well, maybe it's God's way of stopping me from eating the stuff, as it will give me a stomach ache, anyway. <_<

:( sad that you had a bad experience. I actually quite like the spinach and feta pizza...although i added lots of toppings to mine. the crust is kind of weird...a little too starchy i think. do you ever make your own pizza crusts? i have found that to be the best way to have a pizza!

www.eatingglutenfree.com i think has a pizza crust recipe...if not, search GFBetsy's posts...she's the one who gave me the reicpe I use. :)

Well, you see, I am intolerant to all grains, including rice, and potatoes (no rice flour) and legumes (bean flour), and really, the only starch I can sort of tolerate occasionally is light buckwheat flour (the dark gives me a stomach ache). Tomatoes give me a migraine. Meaning, really, I better not even go there, I might like it too much. It would be too great a temptation! :rolleyes:

um, I've only tried the Scharr pastas, haven't tried any waffles or snack bars by them??! So they aren't good? LOL

I thought the Glutino pizza was ok, not my favorite, and you are right, it does have an odd aftertaste, but I was so hungry when I had it, that it didn't matter.

I'm working on perfecting a pizza recipe with Orgran all purpose self raising flour... so far my first two attempts have been really good, but still lacking in just the right flavor/texture combo... I'll let you know when I get it perfected.

Yes, the Schär pasta is great, no doubt about that. But their waffles have that odd, greasy aftertaste (you know it must be hydrogenated fat, which is extremely unhealthy for you) that I just hate. Good thing, if I'd eat them all the time it would undoubtedly make me sick.

And yes, that's (as above) is how you spell it, as it's a Germany company based in Italy :blink: (yes, that's weird, but true). Sorry, I am very particular about those spellings (anal is what my kids call it). :rolleyes:

As a side note, I recently tried Amy's Pizza and I really liked it (mind you I haven't had pizza in years). My husband added some vegetables and tuna and it was a really nice treat. I didn't even feel the starch-bloat afterwards! Perhaps if I had eaten more, I would have.....

I kept thinking how good it even 2 days later. : ) Maybe a better choice than Glutino.

Pizza is a must in my boring diet. I don't like a lot of gluten free breads and crusts either but I found a great tortilla called Healthy Hemp tortillas from French Meadow bakery located in Minnesota. They do have a web site that you can order these. The ingredients in these are mostly seeds. Organic sunflower, flaxseed, pumpkin seed, hemp flour amaranth ect. Its real high in fiber and very low in carbs.

I don't use tomato. I whiz up olive oil and basil with a little Parmesan in my Cuisinart. Spread that down then some pine nuts, olives, a little cooked spinach and goat cheese. Its just fabulous. A very good for you.

Just a suggestion and keep trying I know when I find something that agrees with me and it has flavor like that I get all excited.

I was starved wen I ate my glutino pizza too but I thought it was as good as any of Amy's.... I doctored it up alot. I do like the Schar crackers that are supposed to be like a cross between a ritz &and a saltine. And I love their hazelnut bar sorta like a kit kat.......

I had a pizza crust buried in my freezer for about a year. I made it & it was really good. It was from Sherrie's specialities , it had cheese in the crust.. It was one of the better pre-made ones I've had. Just thinking about it now I bet it would have been terrific had I ate it within a month!!!!!I think her company use dto be called Belo Foods.....Anyway I think I will order af ew more from her to have on hand when I don't have time to make one ......

I tried Glutino bread once and I couldn't get past one bite. Something about the taste and texture just didn't jive.

Thanks, girls. In the end it comes down to individual taste buds I guess.

Gail, thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I am intolerant to all herbs and spices, most seeds and oils, olives, shouldn't really eat spinach.........all due to them being high in salicylates. I would love eating the pizza you suggested, but I wouldn't love being on codeine the next day for horrific, screaming muscle pain. :ph34r:

You are really on a limited diet, and you are a strong person to be able to stick with it.... I feel blessed that I can eat so many things & I feel for those of you who are very limited. But I truly give you all lots of credit.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful).

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      This is very exciting news. The research lends itself to preventing the immune system in other autoimmune disorders from getting out of sorts. As someone with a compendium of autoimmune disorders I feel a bit of hope.

      no argument.

Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms per drop.  It takes 20 drops to reach the safe upper limit. In the US the Safe upper limit is 1100 mcg.  In Europe 600 mcg and in Japan 3000 mcg ( 3 mg).

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.
