Ack! Pizza's Not Gluten Free!

I took my gluten/dairy free 7 year old to a birthday party today. I knew they'd have pizza and cake so I fed her before we left the house and sent her with a piece of gluten free cake. When I dropped her off I told her buddy's mom that my daughter is gluten free, and had already been fed so if there were any doubts about something being gluten free please don't give it to her. She said, "Oh, well we're having pizza so that's gluten free." (Ack!!!) This woman is very sweet and a friend of mine so I just politely said, "Oh you know, L is also dairy free, so she'll just skip the pizza."

I don't really expect people to understand what Celiac or gluten intolerance means, but I thought it was a little more common knowledge. At least my daughter is pretty good about skipping iffy foods. At the very least I think I'd be very careful about deciding what someone else's child could/should eat.

Oh, my. I wonder what she thinks gluten is? I would have told her pizza is not gluten free so she doesn't think she can scrap off the cheese or order a cheeseless pizza for your DD.

I think if you said wheat free it might have made more sense. Gluten isn't really a word in most people's vocabularies. That's why I use wheat allergy alot. It makes more sense to most people.

When my kids were that age, I would stay to help with the party.

"But the pizza crust is white, not wheat." Sorry, couldn't resist. I think your suggestion to help with the party is a good one. I *think* my daughter is pretty aware of what's off limits...And I use allergy a lot, rather than auto immune response.

I had this experience the other day too. The waitress couldn't figure out that pancakes also have wheat in them! (and she wasn't young...so should have had some life experience!) Fortunately, she wasn't the cook, and he knew what he was doing! :lol:

my own brother asked me what gluten was - as he helped himself to another piece of bread. explained (again) and he told me that we all die from something. grrrrrrr

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
