Just A Warning Concerning gluten-free Pizza

Well, if you like Schar's then you should love the Venice Bakery ones.

I tried the Schar's, and while they are edible, they don't come close to these.

Of course that is all in my opinion of course.

Now if you like a thick, chewy crust,......these are not for you.

Is this something local? Does it have egg? I can't have egg. Prior to that I did the Ener-G, but... I prefer to bake those with just some olive oil then top them with hummus, onions, tomatoes and Kalamata olives. It is good that way. Not so good as pizza.

According to this link it does not have egg, nor some other things.

I think they are in California. I ordered them online myself, and they shipped them to my door. I found a coupon code that gave me 10% off, and bought the larger quantity. That's why I was very glad that I liked them!

Ended up being right at $6.50 per 12" crust. Still crazy high, I know.

I agree that Amy's is terrible. I was so excited to find it in the freezer section, went home and cooked it up... Nasty! I don't like to waste but it went in the trash. Ugh

Whole Foods frozen gluten free pizza crust is quite good, although it is also quite expensive.

That's awesome! I guess the longer I've been doing this, the more I've forgotten how "great" the gluten stuff was and I've adapted my taste buds to certain things. :rolleyes: I am hoping one day soon to get a stand mixer, though, so I'm sure I'll end up just as picky once I actually start making my own bread. smile.gif

Hi!  thanks for this discussion.  I'm just starting my gluten-free journey and this is helpful. 

In addition to the pizza crust info, this thread also gave me... one more excuse to buy a stand mixer.  However, I put that in the back of my mind and went looking for publix coupons for UDI crusts.  I went to the first hit on the list, and instead of getting the UDI page I got this:  Open Original Shared Link

It is an opportunity to get "the major name brand stand mixer" for lots and lots and lots of dollars off.  I decided it was a message from ... I don't know - the shopping gods or something and bought one.  Then I came back to this thread... and here's poor heatherjane... wanting a mixer... So I decided to share this info for the good of my fellow gluten-free bakers.  The deal is only good until "the major western gift giving holiday of 2013"  so... hope it helps.

Back when I still thought I could eat things with corn and rice, I opted against trying Amy's because while the pizza may be gluten free the facility it is made in is not.

After trying all of the premade ones, I found Namaste crust mix. It says it makes two 14-inch crusts but I make 5 or 6 smaller ones, bake them off, and then freeze the ones I don't use. It's delicious... light and airy, which the premade crusts are not. I live in the middle of nowhere and there are very few gluten-free offerings here.

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, ...

      By MogwaiStripe · Posted

I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Hello, @MogwaiStripe, Vitamin D is turned into its activated forms by Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency can affect Vitamin D activation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14913223/ Thiamine deficiency affects HLA genes.  HLA genes code for autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Thyroiditis, Diabetes, etc.  Thiamine deficiency inside a cell triggers a toggle switch on the gene which in turn activates autoimmune diseases carried on the gene.  The reference to the study is in my blog somewhere.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll down to the drop down menu "Activities" and click on blogs.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!

My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, how long did it take you to feel back to normal? It took about two months before she got “glutened” again but now she’s having difficult coming back from that and has a lot of fatigue. I’m hoping someone has some advice!
