From Papa J's on gluten-free message boards? Does anyone else see these? :(

I haven't seen any on the message boards, but thanks to the return of football season I see a couple every time I turn on the TV. I alternate between "Who would eat that artery-clogging, gut-rotting, muscle-wasting garbage??" and a Bart Simpson "Mmmm... Pizza."

Our advertising policy is here.

More and more pizza establishments are offering gluten-free options, so a pizza ad is not necessarily out of place. I don't know if the company in question has a gluten-free crust option.

If you feel an advertisement is inconsistent with the policy, please provide specifics to Scott (screen name admin).

So the ad is actually on the celiac.com homepage, which is what my bookmark is. I was under the impression they didn't have a gluten free pizza crust, but maybe they do! Pizza is my achilles heel.

I agree with the previous poster being bombarded by pizza ads during football! So when I went to the store today, I bought gluten-free pizza makings :D

Is it the blue google smurfs? I'm not sure they count as legit advertisers.

Does it say 'ads by google' or 'celiac.com sponsor'?

I say we all bombard Papa John's with requests for gluten free pizza. If they don't have it yet, maybe they will start making it. :)

Be careful what you ask for... you may get it. Mellow Mushroom now has gluten-free pizza option. Very expensive and not good at all. I'll stick to making my own for now.

Really? I thought Mellow Mushroom's gluten-free pizza was yummy! But then again it was only my second time eating a gluten free pizza in a restaurant. I have made some good pizza at home, but I'll go to MM again if I'm ever in an area with one. For future reference, MM uses "Still Riding" Pizza crusts, so if Papa John's or any other pizza place starts offering gluten-free pizza you can just ask them where they get their crust. Because if you didn't like Mellow Mushroom, you won't like any other place that used Still Riding as a supplier.

I had called Papa Johns when I was helping my sister move. They were very UNhelpful in trying to determine if anything on their menu is gluten-free. I was trying to see if even their wing would be okay as many are. NOT a good experience. (My local pub uses The gluten-free Pantry's french bread/pizza crust and they do a YUMMY job with it!!!

I'll have to second that. My pizza was not good at all. I ate one whole piece only because my parents took us out to eat. My first bite felt like a brick in my stomach. My 9yr old son loved his.

      FDA looking for input on Celiac Gluten sensitivity labeling PLEASE READ and submit your suggestions

      Thank you for sharing this — it’s really important. The FDA is actively seeking public input on improving gluten and ingredient labeling, which could directly impact how people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity shop and stay safe. Clearer labeling would help reduce accidental gluten exposure and make it easier to identify hidden sources of gluten in ...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also ...

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      A lot of gluten-free packaged foods do rely on extra sugar, starches, or sodium to replace texture and flavor, so focusing on simpler options makes sense. Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those...

Clearer labeling would help reduce accidental gluten exposure and make it easier to identify hidden sources of gluten in foods. I encourage everyone here who is affected by celiac or gluten sensitivity to read the announcement and submit their own suggestions — real lived experience matters and can influence policy changes that benefit the whole community.

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also commonly reported in celiac kids and can be related to slow healing, reflux, motility, or even low iron itself. It sounds like the supplements are clearly helping, which is reassuring, and ongoing monitoring with her doctor can help determine when (or if) doses can be reduced as absorption improves. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those with whole foods can help you feel more “normal” without triggering symptoms. Subscription boxes can be hit or miss, so checking labels carefully and using them as an occasional supplement—rather than a staple—often works best.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.
