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!

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.  
    • Samanthaeileen1
      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
