Frozen Pizza

one of my friends is coming into town next weekend to visit and i'm trying to plan meals. i'm the Celiac, not her, but she knows all about it (her dad, aunt and uncle all have it). my boyfriend is dying for pizza (he's gone without for 6 weeks now in support of me) so i told them they could order one and i would try not to cry too much. :( i want to get my own pizza so it won't be as traumatizing but i'm not sure which is the best one.

my problem is that i don't live near anything but a few mainstream grocery stores with a couple tiny gluten-free shelves in the "Natures MarketPlace" food sections. no Trader Joe's, no Whole Foods, no Wegmans, no health food stores. I'm a terrible cook and am not especially excited at the thought at trying to make my own dough.

The only 2 brands i've seen at my stores are Amy's and Glutino. Is one better than the other? or will i be disappointed by either one and i should just stick to salad or chicken or something?

I personally think I like the Cheese Glutino pizza better than Amy's.

I like the Amy's better personally. I get the cheese pizza, then buy a bunch of my own toppings, pepperoni, onions, olives, etc. I cook it a little bit longer than it asks for to make sure the crust is cooked all the way through the middle, then serve with ranch dressing for dipping. Yum.

Also: try a compromise, have a pizza topping party, where everyone gets to help out, but go all gluten-free crusts. Then there is no crying :)

sounds like i better do a trial run with both brands before next weekend!

i do like the idea about making our own though...i'll have to check the stores to see if they sell pre-made crusts.

Well I use the pre-frozen ones, but since they are so boring as to just come with cheese I jazz them up and then cook them according to the directions, just adding some minutes. I also add more cheese, cause i love cheese...

I have 3 kids and a full-time job, and I honestly think it's faster, easier, and tastier to make my own using corn tortillas. I make them all the time for my boys and their friends, and their friends scarf them down with no complaints.

For thin crust, use one tortilla per pizza--heat on griddle sprayed with PAM over high heat for 1-2 minutes per side, then transfer to a foil-lined cookie sheet.

For thick crust, use 2 corn tortillas, and sandwich a slice of mozzarella or provolone between them, then brown on each side of the "sandwich." Then transfer to the cookie sheet.

Top with your favorite sauce (we use plain ol' canned tomato sauce, doctored with basil and garlic powder), cheese (shredded mozzarella, of course, but provolone works well, too, and it comes in convenient round slices that fit perfectly on the corn tortillas), and whatever toppings you like--we like bacon bits, shredded chicken, fresh basil, and little globs of ricotta. Shove under the broiler for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and just starting to brown.

Ask your friend and boyfriend what their favorite toppings are!

Start to finish=20 minutes.

I'm with Fiddle-Faddle. I make a microwave version of her pizza. Place two corn tortillas on a plate, spread pizza sauce on top ( I like Enrico's) add shredded cheese (your choice, I use sharp chedder cheese) and toppings. I only add pepperoni but I am sure other toppings found on pizzas can be added, although some may need to be precooked. Put another corn tortilla on top and microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute (unitl the cheese is melted) I cut it into small pieces and eat it with a knife and fork.

I have not made Fiddle-Faddles pizza but since she is using the stove and the broiler hers is probably better.

Hope all works out well.

If I didnt have all my restrictions, I would order one of these. I have it bookmarked for when I am healed. They ship it frozen and you cook it at home. This restaurant got great reviews all over online. And my god.....they have cannoli........gluten-free cannoli. A little pricey....but for a special occasion......

We usually buy the frozen crusts and make our own, then we can put however and which ever toppings we want. My husband and I go crazy with bacon and brocolli so we love making our own.

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info
