hey fellow iowans!!

i discovered an AMAZING pizza that is sold by hyvee stores. it was "invented" by a guy that has a talk show on the radio and the crust is made of cheese. you may have heard about it because i believe he's talked about it on air, but i just wanted to let everyone know that it is completely worth it to try!!! it tastes like a REAL, normal, greasy piece of pizza-parlor pizza!!! :D haha def. not something you should eat on a regular basis...but the best pizza i've had in ages. it's found in the normal freezer section with other frozen pizzas in an orange box!

Good to see you Katrinamaria..you look so young!! I too have heard this new pizza advertised lately

on WHO..Van harden is his name. think he is also the one who invented a clock - calendar so his not well mother could tell time. As soon as I get over lactose intolerance I want to try it too.

Also in case you don't know it Hy Vee has a long list of gluten free foods that are available in their stores. Our small store has a small health food section too and if you have their list you can find a lot of gluten free foods there. Hy Vee stores in Des Moines have very good selection and dd brings me items from there..$70.00 worth of it this last weekend. She is a jewel!! I made some of the best bread/ yeast in my bread maker, served it to all and all liked it. ;) So glad you came on

and told about the pizza. hope you are well!! :) Just type in gluten free at Hy Vee and you ahould get the list, it ws updated 2 months ago. evie

These are GREAT pizzas. We tried them as soon as we found out about them. Our favorite is the sausage. My non gluten-free husband loves these. Myself and my daughter who are gluten-free were thrilled to have found an edible pizza. HyVee is great around here about getting things in that you request and carries more gluten-free foods than the local health food stores do. We live in eastern Iowa.

Good News. I talked with Van Harden the other day, he invented the Cheese Crust Pizza selling at Hy-Vee stores. Well, he said that starting Feb 19th, 2007 you can order the Van Harden Frozen Cheese Crust Pizzas from his web site. Open Original Shared Link

My wife and I have had both the fresh and the frozen Van Harden pizza, and we like the frozen the best!

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body. See my blog. Click on my name to go to my page...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that...

      Outgrow celiac?

      I think your initial idea, eat gluten and be tested, was excellent. Now you have fear of that testing, but isn’t there also a fear each time you eat gluten that you’re injuring your body? Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and g...

      Outgrow celiac?

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum, but don't do it! Don't continue to eat gluten! The health problems that will come if you continue to eat gluten are not worth it. Problems may not show up for years, but the constant inflammation and nutritional losses will manifest eventually. There's many of us oldsters on the forum who wish they'd been diagnosed...

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3

      I think your initial idea, eat gluten and be tested, was excellent. Now you have fear of that testing, but isn’t there also a fear each time you eat gluten that you’re injuring your body? Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and get tested occasionally to make sure the tests don’t turn positive again. If you test positive, of course the recommendation from me and others is to stop gluten entirely.  But if you’re unable to convince yourself to do that, could a positive test at least convince you to minimize your gluten consumption?  Immune reactions are generally what is called dose response, the bigger the dose, the bigger the response (in this case, damage to your intestines and body). So while I am NOT saying you should eat any gluten with a positive test, the less the better.

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum, but don't do it!  Don't continue to eat gluten!  The health problems that will come if you continue to eat gluten are not worth it.  Problems may not show up for years, but the constant inflammation and nutritional losses will manifest eventually.  There's many of us oldsters on the forum who wish they'd been diagnosed as early.    Fertility problems, gallbladder removal, diabetes, osteoporosis and mental health challenges are future health issues you are toying with.   To dispel fear, learn more about what you are afraid of.  Be proactive.  Start or join a Celiac group in your area.  Learn about vitamins and nutrition.   Has your mother been checked for Celiac?  It's inherited.  She may be influencing you to eat gluten as a denial of her own symptoms.  Don't let friends and family sway you away from the gluten-free diet.  You know your path.  Stick to it.  Be brave.
