Hi Farmwife67,

I tried Glutino frozen pizza and it was pretty decent. Amy's on the other hand I really didn't like.-Jenny

There is one in Wal Mart, not sure what it taste like. It is plain cheese pizza. I got gluten free pizza crust and made my own. good luck.

I've tried Amy's and Glutino. I thought the Amy's was pretty decent, and I think it was cheaper than the Glutino.

I like Amy's as well with rice crust. I put my own turkey pepperoni and black olives on it. The only thing is the cheese is soy cheese...so if you're not allergic to soy...it might work for you. Hated Glutino's.

Meijer sells Amy's for $6+ and Whole Foods sells Amy's for $10, so you know where I buy mine :)

The Amy's pizza I bought had dairy cheese, not soy. Of course, that only works if you're also not allergic to dairy...

I wonder if Amy's makes a gluten-free pizza without any cheese at all. I think their regular pizza crust is available without cheese.

Kinnikinnick makes a GREAT frozen pizza crust that you can add your own toppings to - quick and very tasty (not dry like other gluten-free crusts can be)

I think the Kinnickinnick crusts are great. I always have a package on hand. They come 4 to a box for about $9. Hormel pepperoni is gluten-free and I always keep it and cheese on hand for a quick meal.

Thank you all so much, I would like to keep the crusts as well as the premade pizza on hand. I have 17 year old twins and I am hoping they will like them as well, so I don't have to fix different meals. Trying to find stuff we can all eat. I'm finding I am paranoid about everything, I lay down foil or a plate on the cupboard before I fix anything, I'm so afraid their crumbs are going to get on my food.

I like Amy's with sausage (al Fresco makes a great gluten-free garlic chicken sausage)onions and mushroom. I agree- Whole Foods charges more. I get it for $6.99 at my local grocery store.

If you can find them, the absolute BEST pizza crust I have ever had is Open Original Shared Link. Their recipe is based on a portugese cheese bread recipe and it is SO tasty. Chebe is a dedicated gluten-free facility.

We like Isabelle's Best gluten free pizza - we get it at Sam's Club - just under $14 for two good-sized pizzas (maybe 12 inch?). Very thin crust. I always add more pepperoni.

There's a brand called Against the Grain that also makes tapioca products, and they have an excellent pizza crust very like Chebe they sell frozen. They may only be on the East coast, not sure...

Udi's makes a frozen pizza crust that's soy-free, dairy-free and nut-free (who puts nuts in their crusts???). I haven't tried it yet, but I have one sitting in my freezer. I brought it home thinking I'd put some soy cheese on it, then found out I can't have soy. So it's still sitting in my freezer! Oh, well.... someday.... :rolleyes:

I tried it and it is okay - better than the Glutino's pre-made frozen and Z-Pizza (IMO). (Amy's is so darn expensive I've never bothered to try.) Udi's crust is a little sweet but made a serviceable pizza. My partner really enjoyed it - even more than I (he does not have celiac disease) and encouraged me to buy more crusts.

We don't like Amy's pizza... Foods by George has a personal size pizza with sauce & cheese , not bad.

Joans gluten-free great bakes has silician pizza that everyone loves. It is like a pan pizza , crust not thick nor then... they also sell just crusts that are good as well.

Isabella pizza is very good, thin crust.Made with Domata Living Flour. Domata also sells bags of pizza crust mix, you just add water

I'm not sure where you live but Uno's Chicago Grill has a very thin crust pizza made by french meadow..

Still Riding Pizza sells crusts on there site. Many pizza joints use that crust...

We take the joans silician pizza to school & they bake it for lunch for our kid.....

Sounds like a lot of you have turned finding great pizza into a science! LOL!

It is, after all, one of the four food groups. :D

I haven't tried many, but Kinnikinick is a huge winner in my house. Like others mentioned, the personal pizza crusts in a 4 pack are amazing!! Just top with Kraft Italian Five Cheese and Hormel pepperoni and 15 minutes later, a little bit of heaven!! The crust has an amazing flavor and now when I bring it to family's houses, they all want a bite because the crust is so yummy!

I like the Kinnicuck (spelling?). You could try your crust with olive oil & garlic. Like a bread stick. I worked at a pizza place that made a scrambled egg pizza - marinara & eggs or some combo of eggs, peppers, etc. What about butter/margarine & cinnamon sugar? Cook the crust & then make a fruit pizza - fruits "artfully" arranged with a glaze of jelly (melt jelly in microwave). Maybe peanut butter or almond butter & chocolate. You paid $6 for those crusts- I'm determined you will use them. :)

My gosh those all sound so good. I will definately try the fruit one. The cinnamon and sugar sounds good too. I can see me going through many more crusts a week very soon. Pizza as dinner and as dessert, what could be better for a junk food day.

Pretty creative, karen... hadn't thought of any of those possibilities. The scrambled egg thing sounds a little weird (sorry), but the fruit tart is a great idea.

Peanut butter and chocolate? LOL! You are creative!

Yeah, it was about $6, but since we used to pay over $20 for our weekly pizza, I figured it'd be worth it.

Weekly pizza.... those were the days....(cali is off in la la land now dreaming of pizza and drooling ever so slightly...)

If you live near a Sprouts, they carry plain gluten-free pizza in their deli department. It is store brand. The crust is good and they have a small amount of sauce and cheese on it. I add turkey pepperoni, mushrooms and green olives. I also bake it alot longer than it indicates... I like well cooked pizza. It is even great for breakfast, cold the next day. I am dairy intolerant and it does not mess with me at all.

Sorry to all the waist lines I may have altered. We used to make fruit pizza with sugar cookie dough & I liked it but thought it was too sweet. Some people sweeten cream cheese & put it on as the first layer but we were trying to go DF here.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.
