How cool! It is so nice having these message boards to communicate with you all! I really felt alone in this until I found this site.

A new pizza kitchen? What is it called? I buy Amy's pizza if I have the crave and it is good, just have to take a lactaid pill =)

I'm in Riverside, and would also love to know the name of the pizza place with gluten free pizza allegedly in Temecula. So far the closest pizza place I know about is Picazzos in Arizona. Also, where do you buy your Amy's pizza? My local health food store doesn't carry it.

Oops, sorry, I added a blank reply! I am in Riverside, pretty close to Chino Hills and Temecula, and was just wondering if you have any more info about the pizza restaurant which Temecula is getting which serves gluten free pizza??? About 6 weeks ago I planned a special trip to Picazzo's in Flagstaff, Arizona just to be able to order gluten-free pizza at a restaurant. Would love to have a closer place.

Thanks!

You're really close to me! I'm in West Hollywood a lot! I go at least a couple times a week! Do you have any favorite gluten free friendly restaurants? I know of some over there and some in the SF Valley.

I get most of my gluten-free items from Henrys, they carry a lot of Amy's food and it is all gluten-free. I love Henrys! I am not sure about the pizza place, I have no idea but when I find out I will post it =) Oh you guys are going to love this, I hope =)

The pizza place is Pizza Fusion and opens in mid 2008. This site looks pretty cool, check it out =)

I've been watching for the Pizza Fusion to open in either Santa Monica or Dan Diego.

I prefer Glutino's pizza to Amy's. Glutino's doesn't have a grainy after taste like Amy's.

I am hoping pizzafusion will open something closer to Chino Hills....if not maybe driving to Temecula once in a while will be worth it...then freezing them. Also, I have been asking around for any good gluten-free bakeries in this general area....there is one in Culver City but that is over an hour away....any suggestions?

Lucky you, Culver City would be about a three hour drive away for me. I looked at the bakery's website, but the shipping makes it cost prohibitive for me. Temecula would actually be a shorter drive for me but I'm still not sure with the price of gas that I'm willing to drive two hours for a pizza.

I get most of what I buy from the small local organic store. They carry some Food for Life things, but frankly FFL's whole approach puts me off, plus I haven't cared for what I've tried.

Hi,

I'm in San Diego, and just starting in this new world. I haven't even begun to look for restaurants that will work for me. If anyone knows of anything in SD area I would appreciate it. I feel really lost at this point.

Hi babinsky,

I'm in Ontario/Upland. My friend just opened up a bakery in Montclair called Sweet Addictions about a year ago. She started baking gluten-free just for me but started making gluten-free goodies when interest grew. She offers gluten-free goods every Thursday (call for availability - she always sells out) or you can make special orders throughout the week (including B'day/wedding cakes). She's in a shared facility, however, she uses dedicated pans/utensils and the gluten-free ingredients are quarantined. She's very careful - we've never had a reaction. She makes THE best red velvet cream cheese frosted cupcakes ever! If you have any questions, talk to Annette (she's the owner) www.sweetaddictions.biz Maybe I'll see you at her shop one of these days ;) Enjoy!

Hi MsMini14,

I'm right by you, I'm in Ontario.

Thanks for sharing the gluten-free registry site - I haven't seen that one before. Very good source of info! :)

      Diagnosis confusion

      That is one issue but the bigger issue may be the human tendency to rationalize it all away without an official diagnosis such that you keep falling off the gluten free bandwagon. But there is the option of going for the gluten challenge in a more robust way and getting retested.

      Welcome to the forum! Do you mean that you eat food from fryers that also cook gluten items, and you don't have serious issues? If so, the problem with this approach is that, depending on how often you do this, you could be causing villi damage if you have celiac disease (you haven't mentioned whether or not you have celiac disease), which can lead...

      Oh yes, I figured 50g of bread would contain way less than that in gluten. I just meant to say that I tried to make my 2 daily slices count instead of 2 tiny Wonder bread slices haha.

      Gluten free wheat flour????

      Thanks for sharing that. For what it's worth, a majority of celiacs can eat such products without villi damage--which has been documented in many studies that you can read here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/ But super sensitive...

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      @Alibu, It's the thiamine (in the forms TTFD or Benfotiamine) that can get into the brain easily and improve migraines. The magnesium Threonate won't help by itself. Taking the thiamine regularly will keep them away. Sounds to me like your doctor is looking for the Marsh 3C or 4 Stage (total villus damage) to make his diagnosis. Those studies...

This process has been so frustrating and confusing.  I guess the only thing about not getting the "official" diagnosis is not knowing how strict to be with CC (in my early 20s trying to think about the long term effects) but I hope starting the diet will bring some relief either way. Thanks again.

      @Alibu, It's the thiamine (in the forms TTFD or Benfotiamine) that can get into the brain easily and improve migraines.  The magnesium Threonate won't help by itself.  Taking  the thiamine regularly will keep them away. Sounds to me like your doctor is looking for the Marsh 3C or 4 Stage (total villus damage) to make his diagnosis.  Those studies I sent show that damage at Marsh 3C or 4 will develop over a longer period of time. Newer diagnosis criteria would diagnose you with Celiac with your HLA DQ 2.5 genes and high antibody levels alone.  You would benefit by following a gluten free diet. I have type two diabetes.  I used to wake up with migraines if I ate high carbohydrate foods before bed.  My blood glucose level stayed too high throughout the night.  I'd wake dehydrated, foggy, and headachy/migraine developing the next morning.  I was low in Thiamine.  Thiamine is needed to make insulin.  Diabetics have a greater metabolic demand for thiamine because they lose more thiamine in their urine.  98% of diabetics are thiamine deficient.  Diabetes is another autoimmune disease that can accompany celiac disease.  Have you had an A1C test?    Eating a diet heavy in carbohydrates uses up available thiamine quickly.  If you don't have sufficient thiamine, the body stores carbohydrates as fat.  The SIBO bacteria flourish with a high carbohydrate diet.  MCAS develops as the body fights the SIBO.   Thiamine improves MCAS.  Mast cells make histamine and release it as part of the inflammation response.  Mast cells can become  hypersensitive and release histamine at the least provocation in Thiamine insufficiency.  Mast cells need Thiamine to help hold their wad.   MCAS often occurs with and is exasperated by SIBO.  I found the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne) helps with both.  This Paleo diet starves out the SIBO bacteria and calms the MCAS.  If you change your diet, you change your intestinal flora.  Following the AIP paleo diet and thiamine made a noticeable difference in my health fairly quickly.   Thiamine works with the other B vitamins to make enzymes that keep the body functioning well.  A B Complex, Vitamin C, and extra thiamine like Benfotiamine will help immensely.   I hope this helps.  I had to decide that my Celiac genes were switched on and causing health problems even though I did not have the high antibody levels and visible damage in my intestines needed to make a textbook diagnosis.  You know your body best.  I knew Celiac was my problem.  I made the necessary changes and feel much better for it.
