I don't know if this is national, but the Godfathers' Pizza in my town (Iowa City, IA) will make a gluten-free personal pizza for me if I give them 24 hours notice. Not too expensive; I think it was like $5.99, and hey! A pizza from a chain restaurant!

How did they manage it? Did you provide the flours, or did they?

They do--I have to tell them 24 hours in advance, so they can go out and buy the ingredients.

Wow... that is awesome. Can you post their address, phone # and maybe manager's name?? Maybe then we could ask our local Godfathers to call them! :) Hey, it might work!! Worth a try... :rolleyes:

I don't know the manager's name, but do ask for the manager--I talked to just a regular employee once who had no CLUE what I was talking about.

That's great they'll make a "customized" pizza just for you but I have one question. Do they prepare the dough in the same place they make the regular dough? If they do then there could be the potential for cross contamination.

There is one 35 miles away from my house. I should call them and see what their policy is on gluten free pizza. They should make a chain that is only gluten free so there is not cross contamination and so forth.

WOW! My husband is a manger for Domino's. I've known a lot of managers... from all the pizza chains.... This one must have someone in the family with celiac disease. That's incredible that they would do that!! I would suspect this is a manager thing, and not a nationwide Godfather's pizza thing. Curious to see if anyone has results with any other stores.

Yea--I, too, doubt it's nationwide...but you could probably visit a lot of pizza chains and see which ones would do something for you......

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Hi Theresa,  A few of my friends have your same story. You may be right about barley, etc.  18 years ago at a football game while clapping, suddenly my 4th finger was in agony.  It looked like a vein had burst. It was blue for a couple hours, then disappeared.  Finally realized it happened every time when drinking beer.  It's occurred several times over the years when opening a jar, lifting something that was a bit heavy, holding on to tight to something.  Immediate icing stops the pain and discoloration.  Now avoiding wheat in the US, it rarely happens.  Thanks for the reminder.  Will have Entero Labs run another test. Unfortunately they've relocated to Switzerland/Greece.

      Blood results

      By Russ H · Posted

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.
