I just got an email from my MIL who lives in Meridian. She said she drove by Chicago Connection and there was a sign that said they now have Gluten Free crusts. I've never eaten there and I have no idea about their cross contamination preventions, but I thought that was pretty neat! Just thought I'd pass the information on. Has anyone had their pizza yet? If so let us know if it was any good!

Hey just an update- Hubby and I ate there tonight. It was really yummy too. The gluten-free crusts are 10" and they are the thin crust style, so they are pretty thin. I asked our waitress what brand they were but she wasn't sure. She thought they got them from Food Services but who knows. Next time I'm going to ask the manager. I would have asked them tonight but he wasn't there.

Hubby really liked the crust- it had almost a buttery flavor to it I thought. He preferred it over Louie's pizza and it was about the same price as Louie's only at Louie's their crust is about 7" but thicker (and more dry I think). I think I do prefer Chicago Connection because the atmosphere is more laid back too. But I like how you can get pasta at Louie's. Anyway, I'm starting to ramble but just wanted to let you all know about it!

Wow, that is great news! :) I will tell my dd. Her fiance has been gluten-free for a week or so to see if his rash on his face will clear up. My dd is not sensitive so cc shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for the tip and feedback. I bet other places will get wise when they hear Chicago Connection's business will be doing well. ;)

I just noticed this last week at the Nampa Chicago Connection. I loved their pizza pre-celiac. I can't wait to try it.

I think it's pretty cool that we have choices now! We can go to Louie's for a more "regular" style pizza or Chicago Connection for a thin crust style. I'm not really sure what I prefer yet as Louie's changed their crust and it's pretty dry now. But it is nice to have both styles!

I've beening enjoying both gluten-free pizza's at Louie's and Chicago Connection. I realized last night that I enjoy Louie's pizza more than CC's the day after. Got a slice in the toaster now... :D

Glad to find this website. I suffered from painful/embarrassing symptoms for more than year, and was fairly recently diagnosed a celiac. Having a background in biochemistry, it's still been a challenge to figure out what foods to avoid.

Thanks for all the info on this Forum! :P

Haven't been to Chicagoland yet - but I'll put on my list to try now that they have gluten-free pizza! Also heard that Uno Pizza is now serving gluten-free, but my favorite in Chicago is Marcello

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
