Kinnikinnick Pizza Crust

My local Kroger just added Kinnikinnick pizza crust to their gluten-free selection. I could not believe how good they were. My non-celiac husband tried a piece and couldn't tell the difference between it and reg crust. They come 4 to a box (a very lg individual size)and cost around $8 in our area. I am going to try it with cinnamon and sugar for breakfast and the next time my family has sub-sandwiches for lunch I'm going to cut and toast for my "bread" My biggest complaint is that I only bought one box, thinking it's probably going to taste sour and crumbly like most gluten-free bread and I went back yesterday to buy more and they were sold out already.

These pizza shells are very tasty...my only issue with them is that one shell is 500 calories (the info on the package is for 1/2 of one). That's pretty high - considering you're going to top it with sauce, toppings, and cheese. I can eat at least one on my own...

I've been making "pizza" with Enjoy Life tortillas...for me it's all about the toppings anyway. No, not the same, but I wish I could buy a thinner (less calorie) crust.

These are very yummy! I put lots of sweet red pepper and pineapple on them so it counts as my fruit & vegetable serving. ;)

They are my favorite ready made crust. I always keep some on hand. I like to freeze the left over pizza sauce flat since I don't use a whole can on one and then with some Hormel pepperoni also on hand and cheese they make a quick filling no fuss meal. I have also baked them brushed them with olive oil and garlic and used them with hummus and thought that worked pretty well. Gosh I wish there was gluten-free pita bread.

I've been intrigued about this too.

But for those with problems with soy, they are made with soy flour.

I know that Raven's got problems with soy so that is a no go for her.

I have a site with the nutritional info here so you can all see. Click on the label ingredients and you can see it larger.

I miss pita bread too.

I need to try and make pita from Carol Fenster's book soon and see how that turns out ...

Bummer! Why isn't the gluten thing enough? Why more allergies and sensitivities? Sometimes life ain't fair! (not meant to start a discussion on God, fate, karma, my bad attitude, etc) :P

Hopefully if one company is making these someone else will soon also and do them without the soy. We can keep our fingers crossed. Or learn to make them ourselves, probally easier than trying gluten free phyllo which I also miss.

Ours is in the health food section. Our town is quite small (25,000 or so) but we have a large retirement community so our selection is really high for a small town. They offer enough products that I don't have to drive 2 hours to an Earth Fare. If you have one in your area ask the manager for products. Our manger told me his department heads take training on different food allergies every year.

Cool, I've seen 'em but haven't tried 'em yet.

Udi's has rolled out their crusts, best I've had!

BTW, just had KK's animal cookies. Sweet, vanilla tasting, lighter cookies. Good stuff.

I've been pretty happy with all KK products.

I'm not a huge phyllo fan myself, but I found this link -- may not be easy the first time, but I understand this site to be pretty good about actually having good recipes.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
