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.

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.
