Z Pizza

Was at the Harris Teeter off Sunrise Valley Drive yesterday and on a whim walked into the Z Pizza in that same shopping center and asked if they had gluten free pizza. They said they did and made it in a separate room. So I ordered a California Pizza and it was WONDERFUL!!! There were so many options of pizza to choose from, unlike Unos who won't give you any topping but pepperoni. I told them that they needed to put a sign or something saying they served gluten free pizza, as it's not even written on their menu. Anyhow, I didn't get sick and enjoyed it tremendously. :D

We go to that Zpizza often but live closer to the Dulles28 and South Riding Zpizza locations. All those locations are owned by the same guy and all have the gluten free crust!! I think now that I know they have gluten-free I am there weekly at least. I personally think their crust far surpasses Unos and I have never gotten sick eating there. Mmmmmmm.... :D

I just went to zpizza in raleigh. I got my own gluten-free pizza while my husband sister and friend all got their own regular pizzas. we were all very impressed. my husband liked mine better :P none of us would have expected that huh? i was very impressed. the minute i said gluten free the cashier started telling which toppings were safe and then he apologized there weren't more. I was just happy to get a pizza! and one that tasted good- even better!!! five stars to ZPIZZA!!!

I'm in Raleigh, too. I went in there not too long after they started doing the gluten-free crusts, and the guy that took my order yelled back as loud as he could "GLUTEN FREE ALERT! GLUTEN FREE ALERT!' It was great :)

I've eaten there a couple of times, never gotten sick... aside from the dairy that I shouldn't really eat... :ph34r:

haha he did that for me too. and he made sure he assured me it was glutren free when he brought it out to me. it was sooo good. i made my husband try it to see if there was a difference between that and the regular. like i said he like ours better

i love that! i sent the company an email giving them a very warm thank you from those of us in the raleigh area. the office said they would pass on the note to the staff there :D

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      Two months. In extreme situations like this where it’s clearly a smoking gun? I’m in LA so went to a very big hospital for pcp and gi and nutritionist
