Anyone know of any pizza places with gluten-free pizza in the Blacksburg, VA area? Thanks, Tania

No, but I have been told that Zeppoli's Italian keeps gluten-free pasta on hand. Haven't been there to test it or called them, though.

I don't think there are any gluten-free pizza places in Blacksburg, I might be a little hesitant to even order one if it is made with regular pizzas. The best gluten-free pizza I have ever had though is at Eats health food store in the frozen section, made by Glutino, it is amazing!

That's a great idea! I'd definitely be up for that if you do!

Hi. I'm new to the gluten free walk. I think I cried a little when it looked like I would need to give up so many good foods. Are there good and less expensive places to get gluten? I'm afraid to eat anything any more. I hope this gets easier in time.

It definitely gets easier, although the eating out and socializing thing will always be something of a challenge. I've been gluten-free for 8 years now.

When eating at home, there are so many things that are just naturally gluten-free. Meat, vegetables, fruit, eggs, plain rice and so on. Quite a few processed foods are also gluten-free. And many things you would think you'd need to be afraid of -- hot dogs, sausages, prepackaged deli meat, bacon, cheeses -- are almost without exception gluten-free (read the ingredients or call the manufacturer).

Yes, eating out is tougher. I'd take it easy eating out until you heal, but later you can check out Five Guys burgers (no bun), the Low Carb Thickburger at Hardees, BBQ places (no bun), El Rodeo (tacos, enchiladas, guacamole), and even the food bar at Kroger (talk to the main chef). At Tech's dining places you can even find food ingredients online, although I'd guess the chance for contamination is fairly high because of the volume they cook.

Feel free to ask me any other questions.

good luck

richard

I started my gluten-free diet when in Blacksburg, Virginia. I graduated 2007 from Tech (yes same time as the shooting) and then have since left. I don't remember any gluten-free pizza places. It was nice that most of the Krogers have separate little health sections which is where I found some frozen gluten free items, like Amy's rice pizza and her cheese enchiladas.

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Dang. I had a moment of hope that I could change my BP med and get off the gluten-free diet. Nope. More seriously, I hadn't seen this articles about this phenomenon before. This is one of the possible answers for people who post here about having celiac symptoms (including biopsy) but normal IgA levels, especially if they are saying that diet isn't helping...

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      This may not be the cause, it's pure speculation on my part, but for 10-15 years I had a tingling/burning/electric-like shock sensation that emanated from my right-neck upward across the right-side of my head. I was worried about having a stroke or something so got all sorts of tests done, including an MRI, which found not much--only a minor degenerative...

      This may not be the cause, it's pure speculation on my part, but for 10-15 years I had a tingling/burning/electric-like shock sensation that emanated from my right-neck upward across the right-side of my head. I was worried about having a stroke or something so got all sorts of tests done, including an MRI, which found not much--only a minor degenerative disk in my neck--which I just accepted as the cause. Fast forward to when I was ~45 and I was hit with shingles in the EXACT place that this sensation would travel--I ended up with a very painful case of shingles that felt like the right-side of my head had been set on fire, and had the blistering and pain that ran along the exact path of nerves that I had felt this sensation travel along for the prior 10-15 years. For me, that time period was a shingles pre-cursor, and all those feelings were likely inflammation in my nerves. Needless to say I've not had this since getting my shingles vaccines at 50.  Your situation could very well be something else, but I just wanted to mention this possibility because your symptoms sound similar to what I experienced. I'm not sure if you're in the age range to get a shingles vaccine, but it may be something to consider.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Richard Rusnak! The short answer is "No". Barley is a gluten-containing grain. The three gluten-containing grains are wheat, barley and rye.  Barley and rye contain less gluten than wheat but still should be avoided. Understand that smaller amounts of gluten may not produce a noticeable reaction in so far as symptoms go, but they still may be causing some inflammation in the gut. Products derived from gluten-containing grains should also be avoided, for instance malt and malt flavoring.
