The Pie

So we finally went to The Pie today. The Pie is a local pizza chain in the Salt Lake City area. Three of their restaurants have separate gluten free kitchens with specific practices in place to nearly eliminate the possibility of cross contamination. We went to the South Jordan location.

 

I did something I've never done before. After reading everything I had about them on their website, I simply went to the counter and ordered my pizza. I didn't quiz them or grill them, she wasn't going to tell me anything I didn't already read online about their practices. Besides, if everything was truly true, this place would be truly safe and there would be no need to turn ordering a pizza into the Spanish Inquisition. So we each ordered a pizza, I ordered a gluten free veggie pizza ($18.99 for a 14" which seems fair) and my husband ordered a regular pepperoni pizza.

 

They didn't get done at the same time. They called our name to let us know a pizza was ready, the first one was his. It was ooey gooey with cheese covering the pepperoni. He said it was a good pizza and enjoyed it. So check, our gluten eaters will enjoy their pizza there.

 

Then they called again and my pizza was ready. The gluten free pizza is a thin crust, which I expected before I even made plans to go there. It only comes in a 14" which is fine, I didn't expect a size choice. (I suppose we never can.) At least it isn't a personal size for the first time ever in a year and a half of ordering pizzas. It had fresh Spinach, artichoke hearts, sicilian spiced tomatoes, red onions, feta cheese, and mozzarella cheese and it was piled on. I could barely figure out how to pick up a slice, instead of the barely there topping I've gotten used to. The crust was crispy and delicious with no weird texture or taste. The toppings were perfect and ridiculously plentiful, in fact when I saw them it made the $20 sticker shock go away. It was so amazingly delicious I nearly wept with joy.

 

Enough time has passed that if I was going to get sick, I would have by now. Which means that without nonsense, grilling or the Spanish Inquisition, I walked into a pizza place, ordered a pizza, and got one safely made. That's it. Just like it used to be. Not every topping is available, but enough are that I was more than satisfied with my choices. I can not recommend this place enough for people visiting the Salt Lake area. There are locations in Salt Lake, South Jordan and Ogden that have gluten free kitchens.

Wow!  Gosh what I would give to walk in a place and do exactly what you did.  Congrats on your pizza!  I am green with jealousy.

There are reasons I'll never leave this area. I know there are other gluten free havens. I just have no intentions of ever starting over learning. Hopefully if anyone ever visits here this will help point them to some safe and amazingly delicious pizza. There is a huge gluten-free expo in October so maybe this is just in time to help someone.

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      By trents · Posted

      I've never heard it said that celiac disease is a connective tissue disease. It is an autoimmune disorder that (classically) attacks the lining of the small bowel but we now know it can manifest in other body systems. It is also true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. That is, when you have one you often develop others.

      I did for a week, though that was 4 weeks before I had the test done. The doctor told me the lab rang her and said they hadn't seen results like it in their lab. Them being nearly all indeterminate that is. I also tested positive for a multiple connective tissue disease but when they did further testing it was all indeterminate too (I've only just realised that celuac is a connective tissue disease)

      So, it sounds like you may have already been avoiding gluten before the blood draw was done for the antibody testing. Is this correct?

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      Welcome to the forum, @Travel Celiac! The high total IGA does not indicate that your celiac disease is actively flaring up. Total IGA is not a test for celiac disease per se but rather is test given to determine if you are IGA deficient, which you are not. IGA deficient people will experience artificially low individual IGA antibody tests such as the tTG-IGA and can result in false negatives.  The other question is why is your total IGA count high? That can indicate other health issues besides celiac disease so I suggest you research that question and also talk to your physician about it. Here is an article that explains the various tests that can be run to detect celiac disease and the significance of the total IGA test: Having said all that, I gather that for some reason you are under the mistaken impression that, having been diagnosed with celiac disease some years ago, your recent antibody test should still show elevated levels if you actually do have celiac disease, at least when you have accidental gluten exposure. I think you misunderstand how this all works and what the testing is designed to detect.  When someone has celiac disease, the consumption of gluten triggers an autoimmune response that, typically, causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. This inflammation produces specific antibodies that can be detected by serum testing specifically designed to look for these antibodies. Upon the onset of celiac disease, it can take weeks or months of consistent exposure to gluten for the serum antibody levels to build up to the point where they are detectable by the tests. Once gluten is  removed from the diet, inflammation begins to subside and antibody levels begin to drop. An occasional gluten exposure will not result in restoring antibody levels to detectable amounts once they have receded to normal levels after going gluten free. Again, it takes weeks or months of consistent gluten ingestion for the antibody counts to reach sufficient levels to produce a positive test result. Yes, you still have celiac disease but it looks like from your recent tTG-IGA test result that you are doing a good job with the gluten free lifestyle.

      Thank you. Yes I was referring to total iga - it came back as <0.15 I've also had the deamidated gliadin peptide IgA and IgG both of which were indeterminate on 2 tests. Third test the IgG was <1. I'm having the biopsy in two days. Pretty much anything I eat apart from vegetables makes me quite sick now.
