I was told they have a gluten-free pizza. I stopped in there tonight and they do. Has anyone tried it? They are closer to me than Garlic Jim's and unlike Garlic Jim's actually has something on the menu that I can eat.

Yes, I have tried the pizza and it's very good. I had a veggie pizza.

I've tried two kinds of pizza from Boston's and they were both VERY good.

Thanks! We'll try it. Or I should say daughter will. I'm allergic to eggs so no pizza for me.

Well... I was not impressed but daughter loved it.

Due to my food allergies, there isn't a lot I can eat there. Perhaps a salad with some stuff left off, but I opted for a burger patty with lettuce, tomato, onion and French fries. Also a salad with no croutons, no dressing, and lemon.

I ordered my food just like I typed it out. The waitress said, "So... A burger with everything on it? You want the bun? The pickles? The mayo?" *sigh* I repeated my order again.

My salad came out. No lemon. I asked for lemon. She thought I said, "napkins"! I repeated it. She didn't get it. Third time she got it. Brought me some lemons along with the parmesan and hot peppers for daughter.

Daughter had carrot sticks and Ranch dressing and a small cheese pizza. Pizza looked very thin to me. Not a lot of cheese on it. But she liked it!

My food came. Burger patty was on a bed of brown lettuce. Really no flavor to it at all. Fries were not that good. Daughter tried one and thought it tasted of garlic. I hate garlic. I don't know. They weren't very crisp.

All in all I thought it was expensive for what we got.

Daughter wants to go back. If we do go back, it will be for lunch. I don't normally eat lunch, so that way I won't have to pay for a yucky meal. If all I can eat is a burger patty and fries, I might as well get it at a fast food place and get it for cheap.

Try Zing's pizza in Porter Square, they have good gluten-free pizza, though it's not your standard pepperoni and cheese (look them up online for the menu). There is also a food mart (I'm pretty sure it's called "food mart" in Wakefield that has gluten-free pizza and desserts - they get the crust and desserts from a company called strawberry moon (strawberrymoon.com, I think).

food Mart in wakefield- I think I know where that is. My sis lives in Rreading- I'll have to tell her! Thank you!

I can't believe Boston's doesn't even have a location in MA. That's ridiculous!

Boston's Gourmet Pizza are the US version of Boston Pizza which is a Canadian company. As I understand it, they are fairly new to the US. The first Boston Pizza was in Edmonton, Alberta...though the Boston Pizza chain stopped offering gluten free pizzas around here (I live just outside of Edmonton). Don't know about the franchises in the rest of Canada.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Fruits & Veggies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
