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!

      abnormal weight loss

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @glucel, Unintended weight loss is symptomatic of Thiamine deficiency.  Our bodies use more Thiamine when we are ill and stressed.  Switching to a gluten free diet can also result in a lower intake of Thiamine.   Interesting Reading: Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery depletes plasma thiamine levels https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2874825/ Gluten-free diet intervention reduces thiamine intake in two weeks... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34583628/ This study found normal people, without Celiac Disease and malabsorption concerns, had a drop in Thiamine after starting a gluten free diet.  They went back to eating a gluten containing diet.  We don't get that option.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like gluten containing counterparts.  Supplementing helps boost your absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.

      Maybe celiac, maybe just ncgs?

      Hello, @Neat1, Yes, neck and shoulder pain can be symptoms of Gerd, which is fairly common in Celiac Disease. Ask for a DNA test, too.  Celiac Disease is genetic.  If you've got celiac disease genes, further testing is warranted.  Some people have Celiac genes, but don't have active Celiac Disease.  If you've got symptoms, your genes are probably activated.   Diabetes, anemia and Thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives on antibody tests.  Some people with Celiac Disease are seronegative.   Thiamine deficiency can cause constipation and gastrointestinal symptoms.  Magnesium supplementation can help with that, too.  Nutritional deficiencies like these are common in untreated Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Not really.  Blood tests for vitamin deficiencies are not accurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels and have vitamin deficiency symptoms before blood levels change.  The brain sends messages to the body to release into the bloodstream any extra vitamins stored within cells of tissues and organs so that important organs like the brain and heart can keep getting a supply.  Even what you've eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours can affect blood tests.  Taking vitamin supplements eight to twelve weeks before testing, will give falsely elevated results.   Because tests for Thiamine can be so inaccurate, as well as time consuming and expensive, the World Health Organization recommends taking Thiamine and looking for health improvements.  Thiamine is nontoxic, even in high doses.  Thiamine is water soluble and any excess is easily excreted in urine.  WHO recommends giving 500 mg/day of Thiamine Hydrochloride for several days and looking for health improvements.  Some people with Thiamine deficiency need higher doses (1000 - 2000 mg/day).   Benfotiamine, a lipid soluble form of Thiamine, can get inside cells without using the thiamine transporters on the cell surface,  which shut down during thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine Hydrochloride has to get in by transporters, or by passive diffusion, which requires higher doses.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  300 - 1200 mg/day of  Benfotiamine are required. Allithiamine (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide TTFD) can cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier cell, so Allithiamine is really helpful with neurological symptoms, brain fog, balance issues, problems swallowing, gastroparesis.  50 - 1000 mg/day of Allithiamine.  Find the best dose for you.   I understand the skepticism about Thiamine.  If I hadn't lived through it myself....read my blog...I was skeptical myself, but I could feel myself dying and was grasping at straws.  Within a few minutes of taking my first dose of Thiamine, I felt better and was astounded at how simple the solution was.   Is nutrition even taught in schools today?  I learned basic nutrition in Home Economics, but that's been cut.  Dieting programs distract from nutrition and mostly count calories.   P.S. Riboflavin Vitamin B2 deficiency has been linked to migraines.

      As far as your neck and shoulder pain goes, yes, this could be a symptom of celiac disease as one of the more than 200 symptoms associated with celiac disease is joint pain.

      10g of gluten or the amount in about 4-6 slices of bread daily for several weeks should be a sufficient "gluten challenge". Your primary care provider should be able to order those tests.
