yeah, this article said "wheat and other grains". The companion article about Gluutteny (gluten-free, CF bakery coming in August :D ) was written by a different reporter and treated it like wheat was the only culprit :angry: .

I haven't been over to galleria to try that pizza at Bravo yet, but I will soon.

I think it's at the Galleria mall, right?

I've never been to the Bravo's there, but I've been to the Galleria.

Take 279 S to the Ft. Pitt tunnel, go through the tunnel, and exit at Banksville road.

Stay on Banksville until you hit Cochran Road (a T-intersection).

Turn Left on Cochran

Keep going straight on Cochran; at some point, it will merge with Washington, which I think is also the yellow belt. Go another couple of miles (sorry I can't be more specific), and the Galleria will be at the bottom of a hill on your right hand side.

You can also try googling "Bravo Galleria," and then plugging the address into Rand McNally driving directions (usually more accurate than Mapquest).

I just wanted to post on our dining gluten-free at Bravo's Mt. Lebanon Pa site.

First off , I was udderly amazed that as soon as we arrived & I asked if they had a gluten-free menu , the hostess immediately said yes, & handed me a full- size menu front & back with gluten-free items. I had todo no explaining or asking oe give any info regarding gluten-free, they already knew the drill... I stated I was impressed & she said oh, that is a very popular request ....

We were sitted quickly & our server came in a few minutes. She also acknowleged the gluten-free menu I was drooling over. I went there for the pizza but I seen several other sI wanted to try out also... I ended up settling for my pizza ( scilian).. for $under ten bucks I got a nice size pizza & a meg-lrg salad of my choice.... I had the works on my pizza....The server spoke to us a tad about gluten-free & said the manager is very much into the total gluten-free menu. No, she is not celiac but has developed a keen , open mind to the way we must eat. She is very careful about CC , in fact that was one of her greatest concerns to make it so no one would get ill from that. She had help & I think lots of it from our Dear Mary who knows just about all there is or will ever be known about celiacs. The managers name is Janet S. & I'll tell you I felt like I was in the hands of an angel & my fears of anything going wrong just went out the window. Janet has become so enlightened about celiacs I think she knows more than some celiacs. She wants to know it all....

now to get to my dinner. The pizza toppings were wonderful bu tat the present time they ar eusing crusts from Kinnickinnick. I never had their crust & I thought it was more like a biscuit type crust with way to much sweetner. I don't care for sweet pizza. I also mentioned that to me I loved the toppings, disliked the crust. I prefer to have a more italian type pull apart bread than a biscuit type crust. You know a regular type pizza shell. She agreed it was sweet. But she also said Bravo wants to take this national after she gets the right products for the job. I had to say please don't keep that crust it ruined the toppings for me. She asked that I get her to have some others to send some shells that could be served & they would find a correct crust. In other words this will not go national until she finds the best of the best...I have been e-mailing bakers who I know have good crusts asking them to submit to sending shells. Hopefuly this will make a baker some big bucks for a job well done.

For those of you who live in the "burgh" Lori K has a pizza crust in her cookbook that is VERY GOOD But I don't know if she is up to going national.

If any of you happen to want to reccommend a baker or a companies crust please let me know & I''ll contact them. I like Foods by George crusts for home baking but I have had better.

Overall the experience was one of the very best I've ever had. I will go back soon to try the other foods I wanted to try . This truly rocks...

Be sure to get out there to try the menu & Thank Janet for a wonderful job....

Fiddle faddle: thanks for the directions, they got us there without getting lost!!!! We don't travel to that end of the "burgh" much.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
