I tried this pizza out at their Scottsdale restaurant a few weeks ago... it is good, and it was really nice to go to a pizza place with friends and be able to eat something "safe."

Good points- It is a tasty rice crust... their toppings are great, and a non-gluten-free friend even had a couple of pieces. Waitstaff seemed pretty on the ball about the whole thing. It was good warmed up the next day as leftovers (it got a little crispier) so feel free to take some home to leave room for a gluten-free dessert (available at the restaurant) from the Aspire market. It is located across the parking lot, and is a super cool store/bakery that has everything gluten-free clearly labeled on their shelves (ie. anything gluten-free has a #5 listed on the tag, and dairy free is listed as D and so on... ). They're really nice and have a pretty wide selection of gluten-free stuff, a lot of which I've only ever seen mailorder before. I recommend a visit if you're ever in the area. (and no, I don't work there or anything, I just really appreciate places that put in this much effort.)

Other points- In my personal opinion (knowing that everyone has their own faves and dislikes, please take this with a grain of salt), this is a passable, if a little flat, and rather dense, rice crust that was not exactly what I'd had my hopes up for. Also, mine took a really long time to cook (my advice, order one of their yummy gluten-free appetizers to ease the wait) and then got soggy really quickly at the table.

Ah, well, at least things in the restaurant world are moving in the right direction! So hooray for picazzos for offering this service, and I'm sure I'll be back.

celiac3270 - THANK YOU! I just printed their gluten-free menu and showed it to my husband. We are going there this weekend! I am really excited to try eating out. I haven't really gone that route yet.

Jo Ann, which Outback do you go to? I'm nervous about taking my daughter and wanted to know if you've had success at the one by me (McKellips and gilbert roads)

I want to try the pizza place in Scottsdale even though it is farther away because i want to see the items available at the store across the street. I am so excited to try this. :)

Debbie,

I have not eaten at Outback since my gluten-free rebirth but I did speak to them right before I got my results. They seem great and their menu is just like their regular ones so you won't feel "different". I am going to go there this weekend too. I will let you know how it is. I go to the one on Clearview (near Superstition and Power).

They also have a Pacazzo's in Tempe but it is on the corner of Kyrene and Warner so that is pretty far south. I'm in southeast Mesa so it would be closer than Scottsdale for me.

Email me and let me know if you try either. Do you have celiac disease too or just your daughter?

Hi ladies I am also in Phoenix. The Outback on Power Rd. and US 60 in Mesa is good. Also, Chandler at the 101 and Chandler blvd. AND Ray Rd. and I-10. I eat at all of these and they're great. Also, Carrabba's Italian Grill at Ray and I-10 and Power and US 60 has a GREAT gluten-free menu. Outback and Carrabba's are owned by the same company.

Picazzo's is fabulous. I eat there every week. I work at Ray and Rural at Corona del Sol High School so it is RIGHT near my work. YUM!!!

Let me know if you need some advice on other places!

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Fruits & Veggies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
