Good Evening Everyone,

My name is Melissa and this is my first time posting on this site. I have had Celiac's Disease for about 5 years now and I am always looking for new restaurants and foods to try, I'm sure like most of you do as well. I went to an Uno's Restaurant in Dedham, MA. a few months ago I decided to try the Gluten-Free vegetable pizza there and it was very tasty, but after a slice or two I started to feel really sick and queasy. I knew my symptoms automatically and realized that it was not Gluten-Free after all or someone had not followed proper care in preparing the pizza. Either way I let the manager know what happened and he apologized for it, but I will not be trying anything gluten-free from there again after that experience. has anyone else had this problem at an Uno's Restaurant before or any other supposed Gluten-Free pizza place???

Thanks,

Melissa

Uno's has been one of the few places I can eat without a problem. It's been a while since I tried their gluten-free pizza but I thought they only had pepperoni and cheese as gluten-free options. Was the pizza on a very thin crust or was it a thick crust? The gluten-free pizza is very thin.

Hi Manna,

Yes I had made sure to ask for the gluten-free pizza and it was on a thin crust. That's why I couldn't understand how I got sick unless it was not prepared properly...

The gluten free pizza is only pepperoni or cheese, like GlutenFreeManna said. Maybe, since you ordered the veggies, they just assumed it would be okay? They are not listed as a gluten free option at my Uno's. I have eaten the pepperoni pizza and didn't get sick, though I wasn't a huge fan of the taste.

We have Naked Pizza here (Cincinnati) and it's fantastic and all their toppings are gluten free. But I don't know if they have any other locations.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience! I"m fairly new to eating gluten free but I've eaten off Unos gluten-free menu a few times and have never had a problem. (but i've never had the gluten-free pizza). The management at my local Unos (upstate NY) takes care in explaining preparation procedures including preparing the food separately, wraping it separate (if it's to-go) and even having a separate server bring out a gluten free order (so it will not accidentally touch another plate). I was happy to see that some of my "old favorites" (like the baked stuffed chicken) are on their gluten-free menu.

Like I said, I've been happy with this particular restaurant but I can't speak for all of them.

I recently ate at an UNO's, but just decided to order the cob salad and felt fine afterward. I did notice that there was a veggie gluten-free pizza option on the menu too. (I live in the DC area.)

It's just so easy to get CC in restaurants, it always makes me nervous to eat out anymore unless I know they have dedicated a separate part of their kitchen for gluten free cooking/meal prep.

I had the gluten-free veggie pizza at Union Station in Wash, DC a few months ago and had no reaction. Then, last week, I had the same thing in Denver and had a minor reaction. My reactions are nerve related - I call it buzzing. The pizza may have been fine but I might have gotten contamitated off the table top or my soda glass.

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Blood results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.

      That was just the visual report, so need to wait for confirmation or otherwise from the results. They did take a biopsy from the upper end of the duodenum(D1). D2 looked unremarkable on the camera. Just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the results as she’s naturally a very anxious person. But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me
