Gluten-free Pizza In Orlando?

I actually live in Orlando (have been here 8 months now) and here's what else I have found:

If you're going to Celebration, the Columbia Restaurant has some choices. No separate menu, but I have the black bean soup, Columbia 1905 salad, and yellow rice with no problems at all. Most of the menu is "use your common sense" - I've had grilled steak and chicken there with no problems, but I always ask to make sure the grill is clean. It's a bit pricier than some of the places on here, but it's really good.

Pizza Fusion is finally open on Sand Lake Road in Orlando. It's in the heart of the tourist area, and as previously said, kind of expensive, but it IS good.

In Downtown Disney, the Rainforest Cafe is a great place to eat. When I explained to my waiter about my issues, he had one of the chefs come to my table to discuss my meal. I didn't know we were going beforehand so I didn't call ahead or anything, but the entire Disney corporation is great about food allergies.

Any of our well-know food chains with gluten-free menus, of course (Outback, Chili's, etc).

My personal favorite is a local Mexican place, located just off 417, on Orange Blossom Trail, called Azteca D'Oro. I've eaten there many times with no issues. They fry the chips in separate oil, the salsa is great, the food is yummy and filling, and the margaritas are amazing. This is a little farther from the touristy areas, but it's safe Mexican and very affordable.

Maybe I just went on a bad day, but I was not impressed with the pizza at Pizza Fusion at all. It wasn't yucky or anything, it just wasn't good, either. There's a restaurant in Sarasota that makes awesome pizza called Vertoris that I suppose has spoiled me with really great pizza (and a huge gluten-free menu: Open Original Shared Link. I had tried to go to Scalini's that day, but when we got there, they said they were out of the gluten free crust. In the future I'll call first, since it is a bit of a ways away from the parks.

Really looking forward to trying Azteca D'Oro now!

Pizza Fusion should be a good choice. They have great food and really good pizza. I would check them out or just see if any of the other restaurants have a gluten free entree.

There are a few gluten free restaurants with gluten free pizza in the Orlando area. To me, there are really only two good ones though. They are BJs Brewery and Red Brick Pizza. Both are found in multiple locations. Bjs Brewery has some of the best pizza i have ever had!

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      Oh I also drink wine occasionally - I understand the typical recommendation is that wine is gluten free but I don't know how to handle the possible introduction of gluten with fining agents or oak barrels sealed with wheat paste

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      @Scott AdamsThe only restaurants or prepared food that I have eaten outside of my home for the last 6 months are from dedicated gluten free restaurants or facilities, except for once in February at a place that had a gluten free night where they deep clean the kitchen and are dedicated gluten-free for the day, and twice in April (due to out of state job interviews) at places that were not dedicated, but mostly gluten free where I questioned them to make sure they were following proper cross contamination protocols. I suspect I got glutened back in December from drinking water (but not eating anything) at an italian pizza/pasta place, so since then I'm not even entering gluten-heavy places. For the month prior to my most recent blood test I had only eaten outside my home two or three times at a dedicated gluten free bakery that is owned by a celiac family. I also occasionally (< a couple times a month) will have a labeled gluten-free canned seltzer from a bar, and will ask to open it myself so they don't touch the top of it. Are dedicated gluten-free facilities also a concern with this level of sensitivity - for example if they are using products without gluten ingredients but are not certified? One question I have is if the immune reaction and antibody levels are proportional to the amount of gluten or if it's more of an on/off switch. I am just concerned because I haven't seen any changes at all - I would be willing to be more restrictive if I were confident that it would actually have an effect, but I am feeling quite discouraged living such a restrictive life (even more restrictive than what it seems like is the standard recommendation) without any results at all. Going so far beyond the standard recommendations makes me feel a little crazy like I can't trust anything, but I'm willing to do it if I know it will improve my health. This was helpful for me to take stock of how much I have been eating out of my house, and maybe that should be the first thing I remove completely - thank you!

      Do you eat in restaurants, or food prepared in restaurants?

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      Thank you, I think with the initial blood tests they did actually do the IgA tests first to make sure those are normal! I am wondering if there are any tests that actually test for the presence of the gluten protein? From my understanding, all of these test for gluten antibodies, which in the case of refractory celiac would switch to a gluten-independent mechanism of activation. Because my ttg levels havent changed at all with my increasingly strict diet, I am concerned about distinguishing between the possibilities that 1) I am super sensitive to very very small amounts of gluten and am getting cross contamination from somewhere I haven't identified or 2) have refractory celiac where even if I were to eliminate gluten 100%, my immune system is stuck in this activated state or is reacting to something else. The course of action should be different in these scenarios - in scenario 1, I should really lock in and stop eating processed foods all together (even if labeled gluten-free?) and identify any possible source of contamination no matter how small, but scenario 2 would require some other intervention like corticosteroids or a clinical trial. If I could somehow test the actual presence or amount of gluten in my body, I would think that could distinguish between these possibilities - if gluten is present it is more likely scenario 1, and if gluten is not present it's more likely scenario 2. I would probably need a test I could take regularly like once a day
