Hey everyone!

I am 20 yrs old and was diagnosed with celiac disease last year. I am new to this site and it seems very confusing but i finally found out how to post and would like to share my experience with a gluten free pizzaria i went to yesterday!

The resturant is called majora trattoria in glen rock, NJ

The pizza was good. It was thin crust and and they have prettymuch any topping you want! I think many celiacs would agree that getting gluten free pizza at a resturant is amazing and an exciting experience! I also had the raviolis (shared with my mother and sister) and they were absolutly amazing! Tasted completley normal. I wouls definitely recommend this resturant and please let me know if anyone knows of more pizzarias that offer gluten-free pizza in or around the surrounding area!

Hi there!

My daughter, who is 11 years old and was diagnosed with celiac when she was seven years old.

First, I wanted to ask you if you know what they do about separating the pizza from the non-gluten pizza. Do they have a separate oven?

We had a bad experience with cross contamination at an Italian restaurant in Tarrytown advertising gluten free pasta. They had the gluten free pasta, but cooked it in the regular pasta water and she had a major reaction.

Next, we do know of two places that make gluten free pizza in the area. One is in NYC on Bleeker Street called Risottoria. We have eaten there many times and it is great. Fabulous pizza (thin crust, just like in Italy) and risotto with no reactions. They even have breadsticks, gluten free beer, chocolate chip cookies, Fudgies (their own invention of choco chip cookies wi. fudge filling) that are all gluten free.)

They also have regular pizza.

The second place is one we haven't tried yet and were just told about. It is in Livingston, NJ. Calabria Pizzeria & Restaurant at 588 South Livingston Avenue between Northfield & Hobart Gap Rd. Phone 9973) 992-8496. They say they also serve Pasta. It's on the way to the Short Hills Mall!

Please let me know if you have further info regarding Majora Trattoria's pizza. When I googled them there were some comments saying what a small brick oven they had and how busy they are. It just made me a little nervous about how careful they are about the CC.

hi!

What they do to separate the pizza from the oven is place it on a "pedastal"

type device sao it does not come in contact with the oven itself. However, as i am sure you know, there is always a risk of cross contamination when eating out but i believe this particular resturant partnered up with the Celiac Disease Awareness group which ensures there is no cross contamination if they can help it. The ravioli is outstanding! I have actually heard of the one in NYC and have not been there yet but i never knew about the one in livingston! My sister works in that town actually and i am so excited to try more!

At Majora Trattoria i know they serve other pasta such as rotini and linguini when we went on sunday. The crust of the pizza is actually not made there, it comes out of a package from a company. I forget the company but that might also help your daughter considering there is no spreading out of the dough or anything such as that.

Thank you so much for the information! I don't know if you also know of a place called Janice A. Bistro in HoHoKus off of Rt. 17 but they serve gluten free pasta as well and bread before the meal. Also there is a small chain called Maggianos (there is one on rt. 4 near/in the riverside square mall) which is very delicious and extremely accomodating! I hope this all helps!

i went to mangia trattoria for the first time tonight and it was AWESOME! first off it was so cool to just go into a local place (my mom lives less than 20 mins away) and grab some pizza. it came in real pizza boxes which was fun, i felt normal! the best part about the pizza is that isn't super small. it's not quite normal size but it's one of the largest sized gluten-free pizza's i've had. they were super nice and i got one pizza with pepperoni and the other veggies. very excellent! they also do pasta dishes (but i just got pizza).

that is great to hear! The pizza is good but half the fun of going is just getting something you cannot normally get when eating out...I am glad you enjoyed it! It is nice to have something around the north nj area, as there are not tons off option but definitely enough to keep me satisfied :)

There crusts are from a company called stillridingpizza.com. Check there website. They supply special equipment and instructions regarding CC. But ultimately, it's up to the restaurant to follow the instructions. I went to a pizzeria in Manhasset on Saturday that uses these crusts. It was pretty good and the leftovers reheated well in the toaste oven in my office. Call the restaurant to assure yourself that they follow the instructions.

Hi,

I just read about a place called Pizza Fusion that will be opening in Ridgewood, NJ. They have a website you can check out.

Just went to Joe's Pizza in Summit, NJ and had pizza. It was very good.

Little expensive at $19 for what I would call a medium pizza. It was not an individual but also not as large as a regular pizza. It was 6 slices which I could have eaten all in one sitting. I didn't - save some for dinner.

I was a little leary as I didn't know if they had great CC defenses but I didn't feel any issues after eating it.

In NYC, I really, really recommend Pala in the lower east side (I believe it is on Allen St, off Houston st)

Open Original Shared Link

Fantastic pizza, gluten free calamari and deserts. Pizza is based on chickpeas and actually better than most wheat based pizzas.

FYI: there is also a great gluten free bakery somewhat in the area. Tulu's. I believe it is on 11th st bet. 1st and 2nd ave.

I am not a paid spokesperson :)

      Buckwheat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
