I am going to Chicago in November for a few days and definately want to have some deep-dish gluten free pizza. I have read of a few places that offer it, but who has the best?!

I live in Chicago and the only kind I know of off the top of my head is Lou Malnati's. I had it for the first time on Friday and it was amazing. There is no crust, in its place is sausage. You'll need a fork to eat it, but it was so delicious.

You don't even have to special order ahead of time. You can walk right in/call and place your order just like ordering any other pizza. It was the first time in 4 years I felt like I truly had a pizza. I nearly cried.

Sorry; I don't know about deep dish - that's more of a tourist thing than a native Chicagoan habit, at least in my experience.

But in case you might be interested in "regular" pizza, too, Aurelio's has always been a favorite of mine. I grew up in the south suburbs, and the original restaurant is down in Homewood. But there are franchises all over the Chicago area now, and I was tickled this summer when I found out they were doing gluten-free pizza. I thought I'd never have their pizza again.

I think they're just using Kinnickinnick crusts, actually, but for me it's all about the sauce and toppings, anyway, and in that sense it was just like old times! And I didn't get sick, so it seems like they're being careful about cc.

Here's a link to their locations:

I don't think all the locations do gluten-free, so make sure you call the specific one you want and check on it.

Sorry I can't help w/the deep dish, but the Malnati's sounds like a great option.

Lou Malnati's crustless pizza! It is like a big sausage patty with toppings. My personal fav is "The Lou", Love it! There have been several glutenfree reviews on here, and I personally have never had any reactions from it.

I really really really love Rose's Wheat Free Bakery in Chicago. They are 100% gluten free and their pizza is fantastic!

I just tried Aurelio's gluten free pizza this past weekend. I just got it with pineapple on it. It was pretty good. I mean, it wasn't the best pizza I've ever had but it's a great eating out option. I usually make pizza with the Glutino crusts and I prefer those but Aurelio's is great when you're not in the mood for cooking. I'd suggest it to anyone. =) Good luck with your search!

I second this. It's not deep dish (but I'm not really sure if there is deep dish gluten-free pizza in Chicago), but the quality is topnotch. Even my bf, who's not a celiac, loves it. Marcello Father and Sons is good in a pinch, but their gluten-free dough is frozen, so it tastes like frozen pizza with really good, fresh toppings. I'd say go to Da Luciano's for any other kind of Italian food other than their pizza.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
